The poor bastard. He makes one comment,.probably a throw away comment, and you lot spend spend days proving him wrong. I am starting to suspect Mrs Crazy has multiple accounts on here.

@ACT-Crusader
I've got a hunch that 9-10 isn't going to be problem.
Forward pack hp I think is the problem. -

All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Watched a doco last week that showed half the well off Romans were crazy from Pb water pipe poisoning.

Think the forwards have a good solid base to work from though. Good mix of experience in most positions, e.g. if Lord kicks on then he has Scooter's experience to lean on. Expect Robertson to stick with Frizzell at 6 but changes at 7.
15 & 12 are my concerns. Be good to see some new faces there and build some depth.

That deserved a lot more love.

Frizzell is playing overseas in Japan and is not eligible for selection.

I thought he was only away this year?

Not contracted to NZR so not eligible for selection for 2024,
I read a couple of articles quoting Jason Ryan that he was not happy he had signed overseas. -

@Dolamite I hope he has a big year and can up that work-rate because he can be a devastating runner. I wonder when his NZRU contract expires because I feel like if he has another sub-standard year he may be the next to make the shift to league where his game may be better suited. This coupled with the fact he's already made connections with the Rabbitohs and I wonder how much RTS has had an influence on a potential shift to the NRL.
I hope he stays in rugby but wouldn't be surprised at all if this eventuated.

Razor should have more than enough playing talent to create a world-class Test team.
I'd argue he inherited one.
I'm more interested in how he develops it going forward, builds depth and develops players and combinations in key positions. He has 4 years to do that and If that means 1 or 2 embarrassing losses, then so be it.
