Oh ok, thanks
I thought he was sitting out the whole of super rugby!Hence my last sentence!
-
@DaGrubster If he's fit and had at least a couple of games under his belt, Codie Taylor will feature in the England series.

Quite likely will end up doing pretty much that, based on the current Crusaders form and not making the play-offs.....

Only crusaders I see playing against England is sevu Reece and Scott Barrett

He kept growing and is probably more suited to 12 now. He’s gone well in the last couple of games at 10 though
Good under the high ball now too. A very handy utility if that’s what the selectors want/need
A Havili-style selection but more solid, reliable and able to run a backline. It's interesting that a number of Blues players look better this year under Cotter
I see O'Halloran is back with the Blues now. I wonder if his influence has grown too as Blues last few games have been far less clunky in the backs.
One area Plummer has traditionally struggled with is his punting distance but he was hitting them very nicely last night.

@Bovidae It would be nice for Josh Lord to be fit and to string two or three games together.
McWhannell and Walker-Leawere have played much better this season so far than Josh Lord so get the nod ahead of him.
All that could change if Josh Lord can find fitness and form.

England will be a tough prospect. Much, much improved team. Don't expect 0-2 though.

If Robertson picks a whole heap of overrated Crusaders i.e Grace instead of Lakai and Iose he deserves all he gets. We won’t be winning much that’s for sure.

I do, NZ are home team, so 0-2 is exactly what I expect

Regarding Razor's selections, obviously none of us know what he is going to do. I suspect he is smarter than just picking journeyman Crusaders because he knows them, but time will tell.
I am wondering what he is going to do with the likes of Rieko, Ardie and BB. Does he think 13 is the best use of Rieko's talents, is 8 the best place for Ardie, and will he contniue with the two playmaker system at 10 and 15 (ie DM and BB)? These were very much a hallmark of the selection policies of the previous regimes and there is no guarantee that Razor is thinking along the same lines.
