    @nepia you said you'd be happy except Coltman has been selected. So you'd rather they didn't drop Harris, or they selected someone else?

    You also said he barely performs at super level, which was utter bollocks.

    And now I'm fluffing by calling you on bullshit? Yuh huh.

    No, the two of them are even - basically I'm not happy either way and I get to piss of BoP and Coltman fans in the process.

    He's not a stand out at Super level, his performances don't scream 'pick me' for the ABs. You may think different but that's just your opinion and it differs from mine.

    @nepia barely performing as opposed to screaming pick me are quite opposite ends of the spectrum I'd say.

    Slightly different note, as Harris can't throw in, he can just take NMS spot on the wing.

    I'll have to be very specific with my language next time.

    Agreed on Harris, he's quite a good wing for the Chiefs.

    I know they have protocols and will have access to good medical advice, but I'd of been tempted to give Crotty and Cane the rest of TRC off.

    Respectfully, this is classic Fern/Internet/Media naval gazing. I'm not having a pop at you - aimless speculation is what we're here for - but I'm OK with their call.

    it's kind of: I know they have all the medical records and specialists giving us advice, but I think they are WRONG! It's a small step to THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VACCINATE! WAKE UP SHEEPLE! YOUR GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU!

    There's a joke about boats but I can't think of it ...

    More likely to be about sailors seamen

    Touching on that.....I genuinely think NMS has had a more dramatic fall than Rokokoko/Cullen.....thoughts on this? They went from being freaks to being merely ok. He's taken a much bigger tumble from a lower height.

    ... and managed to get picked for the ABs! Mind you, so did Savea for a logn time, and he'd be up there in terms of loss of form.

    How many games has he actually played in the last 3 years? I would put this down to injuries wrecking a career rather than a form falling off a cliff.

    He also had one of the most meteoric rises too. He had one awesome Super campaign that elevated him into the ABs. I actually think that Andre Taylor was better in his break out Super season and it didn't carry him into the ABs.

    @nepia disagree. Taylor was a hungus. NMS was something special in 2015.

    I liked Taylor but he didn’t have that skill execution that NMS has shown. Taylor and Masaga were awesome at Super level but they rarely passed the nut.

    Except he makes Kata look like Conrad Smith with his passing.

    @nepia Yes, ex CBHS captain.

    Agree, there is the opportunity to find a good young 3rd hooker.

    Asafo Aumua, I hope.

    Some useless pregame stats for starting 15.

    Franks, Whitelock, Read, Smithx2 (462) have more caps than the entire SA starting 15(426).

    NZ forward pack (454), SA (191)

    NZ has 7x 50+ tests. SA have 1

    NZ has 3x 100+ tests, SA have 0
