    AJ Lam played for the All Blacks XV in 2022 so I assume he'd be eligible for selection by Samoa next year.

    David Havili's selection over him is another poor decision.

    Lakai should be in ahead of Cane.
    And one other loose forward should have been dropped for Suafoa.

    Hold on, Suafoa may be the future but that’s all he may be. Let’s give him a bit more time to get healthier and a super season to play at 6.

    Is Stargazer ok? All this talk of DH must have raised a bat signal brighter than a full moon.

    Well not many players invest their own $$ to go and do a training camp over in Aus while most other players are on holiday in their off-season. Love literally hasn’t stopped training since the end of Super rugby last year.

    A bunch of other players were playing Test rugby after Super season finished...

    After the NPC, the Christmas break, whatever you want to call it. When most players are boozing it up at the likes of RNV in Gizzy, Love was over in Aussie training the house down. That’s sometimes the difference between making it and not.

    He also deserves to be there over Perofeta who wouldn’t even be there if it wasn’t for McDonald’s love affair with him. Just like Christie, he’ll get pushed out eventually.

    Not in the second test. Just like Super Rugby he’s not consistent. Love was much better than him all year in Super until he suffered an injury late in the season which he tried to play through.

    Once Cane hangs up the boots I’d say Lakai will be the guy earmarked to take over. I can see an end of year tour spot for him. At least he’ll be a 7.5 player and not a 6.5 player which we have too many of atm.

    @Machpants Generally are US AB tickets very expensive.
    The prices in UK for AB games are very expensive now. 4 tickets viagogo £2500 AB v England category D tickets

    Mate I think you have the brains to know what I’m talking about. But yeah if you want to be a troll go ahead.

    Maybe do a bit more digging and you’ll figure it out so I don’t have to keep spelling it out for you.

    It makes zero sense eh. Then we get people complaining about people complaining about DH and justifying it by saying he's the 5th midfielder and we're scraping the barrel there. Like fuck we are and that's exactly where you select a Poihipi/Lam/etc now that we have 4 proven midfielders.

    100%, Poihipi’s form bettered Havili’s all year long. I was going to say he should be there but then I remembered he’s not a Crusader.

    It was a terrific catch but his time would have been better spent doing extra training

    Forget about his Super form, did you not hear Razor say earlier they based his selection purely on that catch? I’d say Love made the right choice to participate that day.

    People getting their knickers in a twist over Havili being the 5th choice midfielder is also hilarious. We are scraping the barrel there so going back to Havili is understandable.

    Could see the logic in Havili when we were cursed by injuries, but that's not the case now. Robertson's picked an inexperienced Hotham and Darry so is clearly looking to build, and could have done the same in midfield.

    Maybe Robertson, like Foster, sees something in Havili we ain't.

    Honestly, I think a deal has been done to get him off the books.

    “My client can to Japan, saving the NZR a lot of money for early release.

    All we ask is that you get him to 100 test caps”

    People on here forget SR finals Havilli and some classic performances esp. that victory in SA that saved Foster's ass. For some reason, the headless chook games of the previous group seem to have stuck on Havilli more so than anyone else. The same people crying for Sotutu and Akira lambast Havilli yet they also were part of those performances.
    Wouldn't have Cane or Havilli myself but take the blinders off.
