@FakatavaAllBlack Mitch Hunt is practicing hard!
The Henry days of having our 6th and 7th 1st 5 ready to go are over. Sorry Mitch.

@mariner4life isn't that the beauty of the fern? i would say even the worse AB was an order of magnitude better than any of us...but we call them shit and we'd all put on the Black jersey in a heartbeat if asked
Not me.
I was a toss of a coin away from AB selection.
No - sorry, the point I wanted to make is that I'd be crippled for life in the first tackle, so I am "unavailable for selection"!!!

Brett Cameron wasn't the Henry days was he? Surely any 10 anywhere in NZ is in with a chance following that precedent.

@Nepia Mitch isn't without hope.
@Kiwiwomble is right - and you never know whose Mum is reading your posts! (Who was posting about SP wearing his AB gear on the golf course?)

ha, well I can assure you there have been (are still) some relatives of NPC/Super players on here, IIRC there was a mother at one point too....or at least someone in the whanau using the mums email account

3 weeks ago we picked 5 locks, now we have 2, after 1 game. That's quite the attrition rate.
One assumes Patty T will come straight on to the bench. God help us if one of the starters goes down early.
Me too. On the plus side, he's experienced and a good leader.
I recall 1 or 2 games when Pat T really stepped up, plenty of others when he was OK to anonymous. If he's in the 23 (as appears likely) let's hope it's the former.

Lol considering even at my playing weight I was about thr size of Ben Smith this place would fucking erupt
Yeah, but think of how much pace you'd have compared to BBBR, SB & Sam.
-
@Victor-Meldrew forget them, I bet he weighs less than Rieko, and we know how quick he is!
-
@Victor-Meldrew He's not the man they think he is at home Oh, no, no, no....

Didn't you play lock bro? Time to book a flight...

I mean, even I would log in to rubbish my selection
Don't think it'd only be about your weight though

I've played against that level of player a few times and it is just so quickly rammed home to you how far out of.your league they are. Harder, faster, meaner, they play another game
But fuck yes I will keyboard warrior the shit out of them, because I'm not comparing them to me, I'm comparing them to their peers
Clean a ruck Ardie you faerie!!

Right now I probably weigh the same as Aaron Smith so I'll be smoking any linebreaks
Assuming my spine is still in place of course

A bit OT, but I once sat next seat bar one to Colin Meads on a flight from Hamilton to Wellington in the late '70's. Bugger me, he looked scary.

I hope you realise you're talking to THE Booboo who picked up and dumped Mark Cooksley* on his arse. More than once.
But yeah, All Blacks are generally All Blacks for a reason.
My favourite is when I played against Daryl Mitchell's dad in a Waikato club rugby semi final...
... like where the fuck is the ball? How the fuck did he do that? ...
- noting it only Mark Cooksley ...

Lucky prick.
I'm probably about Dalton Papali’i... about 6cm shorter ...
