    What the hell does Eklund have to do? Buy a Red and Black jersey?????

    Not have an absolute mare in the Super Rugby Final would have helped his chances.

    Good player but I can see why they don't want him for higher honours - to me he wouldn't have the size for test rugby.

    I would imagine Jason Ryan would have had a heavy influence in the make up of the forwards - he would know those Cantab boys very well.

    @Bovidae Dominic Gallaher, and three Crusaders hookers in the two squads. No thanks.

    To be fair Dom Gardner has been outstanding for Canterbury in the NPC.

    Those are some very average midfield players in this squad.

    Good to see Roigard identified.

    Geez PGS has been treated rough. Shouldn't have really been selected in the first place but now he is screwed on representing elsewhere. Did they get excited by early Super form? I thought it was well known not to select on that .

    Razor will be laughing his head off knowing he is preparing a team against his own B side players knowing full well all of their weaknesses.

    Yep. Sullivan and Nakivell need to be a hell of a lot better than they were against Ireland.

    i actually thought Nareki might have been a shout, obviously been injured but hes back now and was dangerous in the first game back

    there's more...."experience" than i would have thought, was expecting more up and comers

    To me this screams a Plumtree pick.

    @Crucial They need to prove they are better than the Māori first (against Ireland A).

    No mention of players not considered.

    Apparently Cane pushed hard for his selection

    Argh this is disappointing, way too many Cantabs in there. What has Brewis done? what has Dominic Gardener done apart from be solid? Lio-Willie aswell, really?

    Guys like Caleb Delany, Peter Lakai, Justin Sangster, Devan Flanders, Kurt Eklund, Brayden Iose etc have all been way better than these guys.

    It's pretty much a massive middle finger to the rest of the country.

    Minutes count as hours when you are a front rower in red and black.

    @Bovidae PT is not a consistent enough player to be a leader. Baffled!

    he has played well for Otago in the NPC

    If people like fakatava, RTS, Sotutu dont get game time with the Top Squad ill be annoyed as surely starting for the ABXV would be better than holding tackle bags

    Come on man. We all know there are some touch and go selections. But, that is a top quality Hurricanes/Wellington, what about my players post. We all want 'our' players and certainly some of these selections are bullshit. But if the guys you wanted were named there would be a similar uproar!

    Hopefully it means that TJ is only there in a supporting role. Good servant of the game but well past it.
