sounds better and I've got some great names for the bench!
You might need a few more tokens because Tuipulotu, Perofeta are injured, Plummer won’t travel, Lam is not an AB, and Ioane and Sotutu never heard of them and neither has Razor.
Looking extremely light on, which is probably for the best.
You mentioned one who is returning from injury and 2 who are always injured and more tokens than I did and you claimed a blues player. So back at you and your light brigade.
They are all available for selection
I'm not sure about Patrick, Scott might play but with injury -bandaged finger - DH's mighty frame up against the Boks? Shudder. And EB isn't called Niggles for nothing.

As to Razor not knowing Akira
Given it's Wednesday evening the status of Paddy, Grooter and LJ will be known.
NZR+, when do you get off your smoko?

It's one or the other. Pick one.
David Havili
Would you look at that - Harry Plummer has been named in the squad for South Africa.

...as an outside back!

I really don't understand why they continue to select Havili only to continue to keep him in civvies on match day
He should start writing a book because he has better access than anyone in the press
-
@MiketheSnow He won seven Super Titles under Razor so it's safe to say he really likes him.

Except he's shit against Tier 1 teams. His level is not high quality Tests.

Springboks in 2022 were Tier 2?

Paddy and Perofeta injured, Plummer (the tradie that allegedly does not travel) is CALLED INTO THE SQUAD!
Go Blues! -

yeh I think that is wording only, dont really see him and Perofeta as like for like even though both play 10...

@sparky said in Springboks vs All Blacks I:
Great to see Harry Plummer there.
I'd have gone for AJ Lam in the midfield ahead of David Havili.
It's a shame there is no room for Hoskins Sotutu in the backrow.
No arguments above the rest of the squad.
Paddy and Stevie were crocked and Lord and Plummer were already back up.
Never wish harm on a player, but it would have been delicious to see how The Ray Band would have coped with Jacobson being unfit!

He's a token All Black. A rubber stopper for a door gap but not a very big one.

A 12 with an accurate cross kick is gold against the Boks’ fishhook defending.

Hmm, not sure “gold” is the right word for that limited skill set. It’s not like we can’t cross kick from 10, and sometimes it’s kinda nice to be able to run straight and hard at 12 to keep them guessing.
