my gut is no, we've had some shit teams before, couldn't tell you when though
Hmmm, I reckon you've pretty much always had at least one token. That's not to say they weren't good, just that there was usually one. Brown, Goldie, Thomson, Naholo...there has usualy been at least one.
2008 maybe, only all blacks i can remember would Thompson and he wasn't guaranteed

This game in Apia. No Highlanders or Hurricanes as they played in the SR final.
I am assuming Slade was back at the Crusaders then.

ABs last 4 games v Wallabies in Brisbane
2017 - loss
2014 - win (last minute Fekitoa try/Slade conversion)
2012 - draw
2011 - lossThis is why I never shell out for the games here. Last one I was at was in 92 when they lost the Bledisloe. Remember Campo running around with the cup like the complete twat he is 😡

Personally I don't think the ABs have properly replaced TKB when he left in 2015. There was a reason TKB was the preferred backup in the 2015 RWC.
TKB was certainly much less inclined towards brainfarts than TJP, but damn he was useless on attack. Obviously served his purpose and did the job he needed to do, but I'd want that reserve 9 to take it up a notch. TJP certainly has enough talent but for whatever reason can't stop acting like a complete tool at the worst possible moments.

Slade was back at the Saders and Woodcock was back at the Blues.

@Bovidae And who remembers the day at Carisbrook v Ireland in 2002 when Doug Howlett got picked as the token Blues player, keeping Mark Robinson out of his rightful place (and allowing Daryl Gibson onto the wing).
No Ta$man starters that day, or Chiefs, or Highlanders for their home match. But, the coach had the audacity to substitute Joe McDonnell on for Dave Hewett late, to appease the fans.

I was outraged by the substitution too

Erroneous asterisk on 17.
Should be on 23, right?

Is this the first ever AB 23 that does not have a Highlander in it?
Highlanders started in 1996. I think there were a few teams before then

This is one bloodbath I won't be putting myself through.
Camping this weekend looking like a good option
So my wife has organised a family weekend away, I just found out there is no internet or mobile service......

Given the other stuff going on at the moment may I ask what time was the team announced?
1330, new standard
There are no standards anymore.
