allblacks šØ SQUAD UPDATES | Unfortunately @samcane7 & Dane Coles will be returning to New Zealand after picking up injuries in last nights match. Sam - fractured cheekbone, Dane - calf. All the best with your recovery fellas šŖ
@pattytuips, @damianmckenzie_, @tuivasasheck & @braydonennor will join the @allblacksxv in Dublin
@leicester_f will rejoin the squad and @billy_harmon has been called in.
Telea and @asafoaumua will stay with the squad.That stuff article posted in other threads clearly missed a bit of info.
They must be confident Retallick will escape suspension if theyāre sending Tuipulotu to AB XV.
Positive is Papaliāi will get an extended run in the 7 jersey. He was dynamite off the bench last night.
Happy for Aumua. Keeping Coles around has hindered his development.Was he? Iām not sure I can watch it again, but I didnāt think he stood out (other than the hair of course).
Iām a fan of what he can bring though.
If we assume that Ardie is going to start all three tests, the question they may be considering is, do we start Papaliāi or Sotutu? Itās not beyond the possibility with Cane injured that they move Ardie. Theyāve done it before.
Papali'i was very good, I think 9 tackles in 14 mins plus the turnover which iced the game. He and Tuipulotu (as with most of the bench) did their job in bringing energy.
I think to reduce disruption they'll straight swap Papali'i for Cane and keep Ardie at 8. That way they can free up a bench spot for Sotutu who I thought, barring the turnover on the tryline was generally good.
I can't see Frizell backing up against Wales. He's turning into the modern day Reuben Thorne which is not all bad, you need solid blindsides who do the dirty work, make their tackles, solid carries, rucks/mauls. Akira does that and provides much more with ball-in hand.
Love Papalii but not sure I can cope with our open side flanker looking like Billy Idol.
Talk about showing the ref where you are at ruck time too.
Mealamu would go through some of the sunshine boys in this squad like a dose of salts. He didnāt even like squad members wearing singlets to breakfast.

Itās all a bit silly isnāt it. World Cup winning lock being coached by those lesser than him on how to ruck.
Itās why Marco Pierre White handed back his Michelin stars.
āI was being judged by people who know less about cooking than I doā.

Genuine question - when was the last time Ardie started at 7 for the ABs?
Papalii started Bledisloe 2 at 7 and was excellent.

Wasnāt he spear tackled in the second minute and the Wallabies player didnāt see red? Scandalous stuff.

And Glen Young wasn't even cited. That's some bullshit right there!
The whole thing is farcical and fans are well within their rights to be calling it out. Porter / Taavao inconsistencies
Retallick red and 6 weeks ( reduced) , Young not even cited.
Both of them contacted the head with force. The part of their body they hit their victims with should be immaterial.Donāt be telling me about Steve Thompson and Ryan Jones et al and then shrugging your shoulders at this. Either the head is sacrosanct or it isnāt.

@Steve Retallick must be a bit confused he had was out with a shoulder injusy a couple of years back from a clear out in a ruck, and with a broken jaw from an upright tackle, neither of which lead to bans etc, so that's why they maybe giving him a course to explain the fifference.

Hopefully he doesnāt miss the starting XV after putting in the hard yards at training: tries without a place.
