@Stargazer Jordan and Nanai too.
the improvement in Nanai to the player we all thought he could be is one of the most damning indictment on the former Blues coaching team

@Stargazer said in 2019 Rugby Championship:
Anyone else wonders why Tahuriorangi has been picked again? Doesn't start for the Chiefs, doesn't shine when on the field. Bryn Hall on the other hand has been really good.
They are clearly favouring players picked last year over form for these foundation camps. Explains Jordie, Tahuriorangi, Coltman etc.

looking at the list and the order, appears D-Mac is there as a 10.
And Hemopo as a lock

Our 3rd and 4th hookers remain somewhat vanilla.

Imagine Tahuriorangi behind the pack Hall gets to play with.

@antipodean That excuse is over-used. Aaron Smith and TJP aren't playing behind that pack either.

Stoked to see Sam Cane. It suggests his recovery is going okay.
Cane has been cleared for contact and already undergone light contact according to Colin Cooper.
not sure Sam Cane does light contact

They're number one and two for the All Blacks with vastly more experience.

And TTT doesn't even start ahead of Weber for the Chiefs. Who don't have a bad pack anyway.

Perhaps if the All Blacks coaches/ selectors were running the Chiefs, they wouldn't have been a bag of shit the first few weeks of the season.

@Hooroo In case this is a serious question: Highlanders, Ta$man and Maori ABs TH prop.
Never heard of him.
Just clicked there is no Nonu so fairly safe to say he won't be there.
