A mate who's also a tragic went back to look at Blackadder. His view was he was great putting the shoulder in people.
Not good if your injuries have been shoulder related

Sam Cane with the team at the official launch today. Interesting.
Edit: Josh Lord as well.
Both not considered due to injury so neither out of the picture

Just adding in that they are in and around the team environment. A sign for TRC perhaps. Thought it was worth throwing in here.

Will Jordan there also.

Looks like the season launch was at the Canes training base in Upper Hutt.

that Ireland game:
- Ethan Blackadder – 6
A big day at the office in defence with 20 tackles and plenty of starch in the trenches. Was penalised on a late hit hit on Sexton, it was obvious the blacks were trying to put the fly-half off his game. No work with the ball in hand and really needed to be given more of a chance to get some go forward. Off at 61.

The All Blacks went down to a fabulous Irish team 29-20 in their penultimate match of the year. It was gob-smacking that the men in black went in at halftime with a 10-5 lead, owing to a huge defensive effort.

Yup they are training there until Sat, Sunday off then into Mon test week routine - I guess in Dunners

@Billy-Tell Sticks and stones, pal, sticks and stones.
Sorry sparky but it’s just utterly silly to suggest skin colour was a selection criteria for Robertson. I’ve read a lot of ridiculous stuff in this forum, some of which I posted myself, but this is up there with the most ridiculous. Cmon man, trying to explain away selections by racism…

That sounds about right. Busy, but inaccurate and not all that effective against the bigger packs. Offers zero with ball in hand which is a bit of a problem in the modern game. I'm just really battling to see how he can get selected every chance without any sort of body of work at even Super level let alone test? Is there someone in the know that can actually speak to why he is so favoured that they'd upset the balance of loosies selected just to make room for him?
-
Sotutu would be stupid to not look closely at the England option. And surely, he has a break clause built into his NZR contract
Analysis: Blues No.8 would be advised to put his disappointment behind him but it won't be easy and other options are looming, writes Patrick McKendry.
Sotutu’s father, former Blues wing Waisake, was a Fiji vice-captain at the 1999 World Cup and his mother was born in England. The Times of London newspaper has already published a story suggesting Hoskins could represent that nation as early as next year via that link.

I read Fiji is a much easier path for him but can't imagine the pay is great.

I wouldn't put racism down as the reason for selections, but there is probably a culture clash between the boys from South Auckland and the coaches from Canterbury. Better coaches would figure out how to get the best out of all of their players, e.g. Cotter and Henry, rather than cast them aside with vague comments about "work-ons" despite them dominating at Super level.

Wasn't Sititi deputy head boy at De La Salle College Māngere East?
