@dogmeat I see a problem with their reasoning. We’re constantly told he doesn’t go to rucks, now we’re being told he takes too long to get up from the rucks he doesn’t go to. 😉
Think it's more to do with the expression on his face when getting up.

Well he doesn't go to rucks because the few he has the fortune to attend, it takes him several phases before he's on his feet for the next one that forms around him.

it's cos the rucks he attends are behind the gainline cleaning up after Parsons...must be tiring.

All Blacks Watch - How are New Zealand's hookers faring in Super Rugby?
We're now past the half-way point in Super Rugby and the All Blacks selectors will be slowly inking in their initial squad for the Rugby Championship. How are New Zealand's hooking incumbents performing, and could anyone still force their way into selection?

@Tim Will Jordan and Tom Robinson?

@Canes4life That was a contribution from the writer, not a quote from Hansen.
-
@Tim haha right, shouldn't have just assumed from the click bait intro.
-
@Canes4life Ha ha, they did it even though Hansen went to pains to emphasize that he wouldn't name anyone.
-
My guess is Braydon Ennor must be impressing!

Would love to see Nanai in the mix
Why? He's heading overseas. He's good but not so good that he will force himself into a farewell RWC squad.

You'd think he has an out clause
-
I think he’s re-found the form he needed to show about 2 years ago (thanks Tana!), so it’s probably too late for him to really get established before he runs out of gas; there are too many really good young outsides coming. I know he’s only 25, but most top out at 27, so that’s not much time; he’d be unlikely for the next RWC, for example.
That’s a shame for the Blues as he is a key piece of their puzzle right now. If I were him, I’d go get paid.

As much as I am a Canes fan, on song Smith is untouchable
Analysis: Aaron Smith is undoubtedly the All Blacks' best halfback option
His season so far has been disrupted by All Black-resting protocols, but his performance against the Chiefs was critical to powering the Highlanders’ attack, and was a timely reminder of how important he will be to the All Blacks.
They are a great 1/2, quite different, and I can't wait for TJ to top Homophobe to SR top try record
