Speaking of double dutch how big is his younger brother Quentin who apparently is a well built lock/6 himself?

Much shorter (relatively speaking).

Can't wait for Holland to get into the ABs so I can make some Dutch Oven references.

If razor doesn’t select him it’ll be a clear cut case of tall poppy syndrome.

Word is he will be in AB XV

Yeah I suppose promoting him straight to the ABs would require Dutch courage.

He’ll be fabian in the XV.

If razor needs to borrow him for the ABs will he tell Clayton to pass the dutchie?

Only if he packs down on the left hand side

A similar size to Oil Haig/Will Stodart. More primarily a six than a lock.

[brodean]

Linebreak assist is a good one for playmakers.

[brodean]

I'm expecting Plummer to be in the AB XV before looking at any stats.

I think Plummers kicking stats improved a lot near the business end ofnthe season.

@MN5 just went to school to eat his lunch and play rugby is what I’ve heard. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Needs time. Amazing athlete

[brodean]

Dmac completed more tackles per 80 minutes than any other NZ 10 to play more than 5 games.

Completed per 80 minutes
6.57 Mckenzie
5.26 Ioane
4.85 Plummer

Mckenize, Plummer, and Perofeta are the top 3 for total.

Total completed tackles:
83 Mckenzie
71 Plummer
33 Perofeta

Hmmm.

[brodean]

I'd be surprised if Sotutu is in the mix for either squad.

Suafoa and Lio Willie were preferred last year in NZ XV

[stodders]

If Sotutu plays for England rather than fighting for his place back, maybe the coaches were right.

Jeez, imagine if Kaino had decided to go and have a sulk rather than work hard at developing his game following rejection. Not once, but twice.

[brodean]

@stodders

Nah that's BS.

He'll never get selected again. There is an obvious feud happening between him and Ryan.

Sotutus defence has never been as bad as Canes has in the last few games. The double standards are obvious.

[brodean]

@Mr-Fish

Is that even real?

I don't see that on instagram.

Seems fake.

I saw it on Akira’s insta

[Machpants]

Even if he is not going to England, good on Ioane keeping the shit stirring going, much more interesting. Or it is a great fake news

[gt12]

Fucking hell, Akira throwing bombs with that one.

I assume its an inside joke (i.e., playing for England wasn't meant to be) as there will and should be a riot if Sotutu isn’t picked.

That doesn't read like a joke to me

Me neither, it’s great isn’t it?

[Kirwan]

If the ABs don't pick the best loose forward in the country, which IMO is Sotutu by some margin, then they prove how crap they really are.

Sititi is better than Sotutu based off recent matches.
I think Razor picked a really good one in Sititi and should be given credit. (one of his few innovative picks)
(although I think Sotutu should also have been picked)
