@broughie said in All Blacks 2022:
@Kirwan Vaai is green but we can’t start with either Whitelick and BBBR. He has a year to get up to speed while another year with the geriatrics is more decline. We won’t win with those two as our locks.
Retallick is only 31, hardly geriatric stage. I think there’s some good footy left in him. Whitelock’s form has been pretty good this season, my only concern is health for him. But if fit he still offers more now than others.
I think they’ll rotate a bit this year. Barrett will be a key guy for us this year and if he can keep his head should take his game to the next level.

Starting 15 I think Fozzie will pick for the first test. He'll go with experience.
15 Jordie
14 Jordan
13 Reiko
12 Goodhue
11 Clarke
10 BB
9 Smith
8 Savea
7 Cane
6 Akira
5 Whitelock
4 Scott Barrett
3 Nepo
2 Samisoni (surely!)
1 Karl TFucking boring in a way.
If they start Karl I think they can give Ofa a go. Sam W may still be injured so BR could slot in.

de Groot & Aumua should've been included in the squad.
Midfield :
Not that impressed with the mid-fielders - Tuivasa-Sheck & Havili are not that big, both have very similar skill sets, with Havili having the advantage with his kicking game... other available options were the Umaga-Jensen brothers, thought Sullivan was playing bloody well, unfortunately missed the last 2 super rugby matches through injury.Halfbacks :
Perenara didn't deserve to make the squad, A.Smith is lucky to be there, the bloke is clearly past his best, Christie is just a solid type of 9... reckon our best two halfbacks are Weber & Fakatava... really impressed with Fakatava, he always plays with urgency & has an excellent passing & running game. -
@NZbloke lol fuck what? i had my doubts before, but now it's pretty clear you are a troll. Elaborate, but a troll account none the less.

he is not

@ACT-Crusader Injuries usually come with age and BBBR has been a shadow of himself. If and buts with injuries. Do you think we can win with this tandem in our back row next year?

@KiwiMurph We'll find out its too late to change leadership roles Panic will set in. NZR fault rudderless

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks 2022:
I can see the ABs being very conservative for the first 5 tests (3 vs Ireland + 2 vs Boks) and then after that it could be all on depending on results.
which i would get if things were all good and we were just working on one or two new guys....

@mariner4life being dumb and you being a troll are not mutually exclusive

We all know the excellent skill sets Aumua has, he's the closet we have to a Coles type of hooker... also a fair few in the squad haven't played that well in super rugby, but were still selected.

You're the one that's a troll to think a bloke that weighs 113kg is quicker than one that weighs 103kg... the exception is Kira Ioane who is about 113kg, but is a freak athlete.
