Finlay Christie will be the next subject of bitter press attacks from up north in their next tirade on poaching. I appeal to the NZRFU to rescind that particular selection to appease those upset about blatant poaching.
I'm worried he'll get capped.
Why in a team stacked with blindside flankers isn't Big Red selected?
How is it we have so few fit props? The two competent ones make Owen look like a young Jones.

@chris would love to see Sam Nock head to the crusaders , he would thrive in the environment.., has a much faster pass than either Bryn or Mitchell .Mounga won’t know what to do , he’ll have so much time ..

This is pretty cool:

That’s a bog average looking All Blacks squad.
Forwards are actually not too bad, but that backline… 🤮
Midfield - let’s hope Havili and Ioane don’t get hurt.
3 fullbacks and only 2 wingers selected, which means we’ll probably see the worlds slowest winger locked into 14 for the season again.
Where are the strike weapons?

Feel sorry for Faingaanuku Ross and Robinson. Felt all 3 earned it. Pressure will be on Ennor Bridge Lomax De Groot Akira and Blackadder to deliver.
I'd say the pressure should also be on all the loosies to perform. Super form does not equal test form. Aside from Ardie none are established test players.

Would like to see that myself. He is a lot like Smith if you really look at his game.Kicks well great pass and his running game is there he just needs the chance and confidence to know he can have a crack.
Not sure On Enari. the Crusaders maybe looking for a young HB to develop, unless they go for Young Luke Donaldson from the Academy I expect he will back up Drummond in the NPC. -

@chris-b Senior partner in the Crusaders franchise?
Yes!!!
7-5 to us.
The Cantabs are like the older but smaller brother!
Fuck I forgot about Christie and Lomax.

I not upset with Tupaea, think he may have a future in Black. ALB only misses first test I think.

@tim just lucky the opposition for this squad is weak, which will paper over plenty of cracks

For the loose forwards, it must have been Blackadder vs Robinson. I would have chosen the latter as he offers something different but Plumtree seemed to like the fact Blackadder could also play 7.
Happy for Quinn but he was as surprised as the rest of us. As mentioned, PUJ suffered from a lack of opportunity.
Christie, Ennor and Bridge should buy a lotto ticket tonight.
