Was hoping they would take A Ioane. He is clearly quality. I wonder if he fails the no dickheads policy assessment. Are they going to play Squire at 8 for the game Read misses?
Surely if Akira fails the no dickheads policy then so does Squire. I mean just look at the guy, he has a raging fucking mullet FFS.

@pakman Haha, something like that, although I'm hoping for a few more who are still playing Super Rugby in New Zealand, particularly players that missed out on AB selection. Last year, they had Ellis, Nanai, Buckman, Taufua, Faddes, Fatialofa, Goodes (now injured), Shields, L Whitelock, Mo'unga and Tamanivalu (now in the ABs), and later also Ben Franks.

Good point.... I'm all for dropping guys with dumb haircuts. Would probabaly result in a few more Canterbury players getting picked

@sammyc How has Tim Perry improved since his days in Auckland where he would come on for the last 10 and give up a couple of penalties. A human accordion at scrums time. Can't understand this and he is 29? Yes props are not loose forwards but they are becoming more dynamic and have to be.
It's like the Matt Todd thing bro........

Not comparable, everyone knows why Todd is in the ABs ... Perry's inclusion has taken a lot of injuries and presumably a bump on the head to Hansen, even Chris B is stunned.
Do we have to drop caveman Whitelock under your new haircut policy?

It was a joke, @broughie told me to "drop the Matt Todd thing" in another thread.... I can't recall posting anything about him at all.
I can't be bothered arguing about Perry....
I mentioned above I'm as surprised as anyone else he got picked. But I guess it's for his set piece ability as he isn't the 4th loose forward everyone seems to want at loosehead. -
The ABs are not the only team struggling with injuries

I actually hope Julian takes it as a chance to show the selectors they are wrong about him. I know he has some deficiencies in his game but when he is on form like vs France in 2015 hes un-fucking-stoppable. You can't coach that either. Plus hes young so I want to see him come back in and tear it up for another 50 odd international tries.
Imagine him on one wing and Reiko on the other.

The selectors aren't wrong about him, he simply isn't in any sort of form. If he can't tear it up at NPC level then tests are currently out of the picture.
I don't disagree with how good an in form Jules would be with Ioane. We haven't had an absolute killer back three for a while. -

Merhts/Toddy bowlcuts definitely set a high standard back in the late 90s
