JK is definitely sounding a bit Abe Simpson on this one. Didn’t he fuck off and play overseas on a regular basis ?
He played league FFS!
Like I said though. The headlines make no sense but he used them to grab attention to the real points he was making. Typical media tactic now days.
The odd person might watch the show now because they think they might hear something controversial. Instead they will just hear rambling opinions.
They could just come here for that. -
@stargazer after NPC last year I would have had Nock up there, different player to Fakatava, but was probably right behind him as form 9s of NPC.
But he hasnt really fired up this season, and with him, Christie and Ruru playing musical chairs at the Blues, I dont expect any of them to get a real chance to put up thier hands.

@crucial That backup was meant to be Fakatava, but then he got injured. I haven't seen any other young player who is of the same level as Fakatava.
Nor have I but would I make TJ a low short term offer in order to have the money to offer Fakatava a long term one plus room to add in A.Nother?
Yep.What's Taufa Funaki doing progression wise? He was one for the future wasn't he?

They could just come here for that.Oh so I’m outraged without reading the article properly?

@stargazer I got an invite yesterday from a sponsor for a Barbarians game against Samoa that is happening at the end of November at Twickenham. Very strange that the NZRU can't reveal anything much about tests that are set to happen in July, August and September.

@stargazer said in All Blacks 2021:
@sparky That may have to do with COVID and the resulting uncertainty about fixtures in that window.
The latest info is here: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/post/559974
The rest of the world has COVID and is making arrangements.

@stargazer said in All Blacks 2021:
@sparky Who says NZR isn't? Making arrangements and making announcements about the (desired) outcome of those arrangements are entirely different things.
Anyway, wrong thread.
Thought it was odd that I was getting an invite for a Samoa - Barbarians game at the end of November with an exact, date and time when we know so very little about the '15 games' the ABs are possibly playing before that. That's all.
-
Possible becuase the NZ government keeps f***ing about with that they are doing?

A Samoa v Baabaas game is probably all NH based players. Slightly different than arranging international matches.
Seems weird to get pissy about this considering what has been going on in the world.

Only trouble with that Crucial, Fakatave maybe out for year, and apparently if doesn't represent ABs this year he miises window and can't play until 2023. Eligibilty rues or something.

If they are going to be that fluffybunny -ish about the rules, why don't we name him to start a test and send him out there in a knee brace, and get him to stay on the sideline until the opening whistle, then fall over one second into the game, to be replaced by A smith?
