Happy for Folau! nothing else to really add
You do realise he needs to get a haircut? That stupid shit is OK at ITM and Super for comedy value but he has to wear the black jersey now

Sullivan is one of my favourite players, but personally I feel he can go missing for large parts of a game. He's dangerous in space, but I don't think he'll see too much against Ireland (particularly in our backline). I'd prefer to see Nankivell or TUJ, at this point.

The weakest front row and loose forward selections I have seen in an All Blacks squad for a long time.
Have you watched any Blues games this season? Paps, Sotutu and Ioane have almost the perfect mix and synergy and I would be over the moon to have them in the AB's.

Some omissions (people mentioned in despatches):
Hodgman, de Groot, Aumua, Lomax, Newell, Patty T., Jacobson, Robinson, MMT, Grace, TJP, Weber, Ennor, Sullivan, Bridge, Telea.
We in pretty good spot when those omissions are made and not really too much argument I think

He's hardly the only one with a mullet. The blond noodles have long gone.

@Bovidae According to Planet Rugby, he'll join Montpellier on or after 1 October. Haven't seen his signing confirmed in an official press release from Montpellier. Other news articles say "after completing the Rugby Championship".

@Kirwan never tire of seeing AB reaction videos.
So good. Love seeing how happy everyone is for them both.

adding cloud over the halfback group is the fitness of test centurion Aaron Smith, who is battling a groin injury ahead of the first Irish test at Eden Park on July 2.
“We hope so,” Foster said of Smith’s first test availability before revealing that star fullback Jordie Barrett is also in doubt due to a knee injury.
Ian Foster explains reasoning behind the All Blacks halfback and front row selections
Both Perenara and Weber were heavily involved in last year's All Black side, starting multiple games each as Aaron Smith stayed behind in New Zealand when the team travelled to Australia for The Rugby Championship.

“We hope so,” Foster said of Smith’s first test availability before revealing that star fullback Jordie Barrett is also in doubt due to a knee injury.
“We’re not sure at the moment, his groin is still a bit niggly. The two guys at the moment, him and Jordie, are both a bit 50-50 but we won’t know for sure until we get our hands on them.”
