Blues back 'warrior' Papali’i over Cane to fill All Blacks' No 7 jersey
The 26-year-old is the leading contender to don the iconic jersey.

Fair enough, too.
He's earned it.
Would be kind of funny if a Super Rugby coach randomly backed someone else though.

I almost feel sorry for Scott Robertson. When he became All Blacks coach he was probably drooling over picking lots of Crusaders and turning the All Blacks into the Crusaderblacks. He was dreaming of the admiring looks he would get from Grizz Wylie and Robbie Deans.
Six months on. The Crusaders are utter shit. No more than a couple of their players will make the ABs. And Razors going to be giving his first pre-test team talk as AB coach almost exclusively to players from the Blues, the Canes and the Chiefs.

FFS what a load of dribble.
There will be more than a couple of Crusaders in there and Razor will not give a shit where the players come from they are ABs when they get in that environment.
Don’t buy in you don’t stay long in the enviroment -

Pure fantasy world. Get the feeling there was a happy ending after finishing writing that.

God damn one of the worst posts I've ever read.

With England to be played two weeks after Razor names his first squad, they'll need people who've been there and done that.
I'm expecting they'll pick pretty much everyone available, who was in France - and already there's 10/34 who definitely won't be - and you can bet there will be several more in the casualty ward.
Then they'll pick old hands like Perenara, Tuipolotou and Reece who can slot in quickly - still leaving spots for half a dozen rookies.
They won't be running out the Baby Blacks.

Yep 100% agree with that.

I gave it an upvote cos it made me laugh

Vaii is definitely in based on what Ryan said on SENZ. Highlighted him as someone who is playing really well. While he's been better this year in SR, I still have my doubts if he has the ability to match it with the big boys at the highest level. Hope he proves me wrong.

Good to see you Cantabs can still circle the wagons with vigour this season.
Surely @sparky's post was mostly tongue and cheek.
Don't call me a Cantab!

Still not happy about the Silverlake deal

It hurt reading it at first but then I remembered he's Australian.
