@Tim said in All Blacks EOYT:
Im pleasantly surprised to see that they actually asked him to be there
However very interesting some of that wording about whether he wants to be or not. I would love for someone to actually ask him rather than create further rumours that he has already thrown in the towel to play elsewhere.
This is the 'it's not Razor's fault when Sotutu pisses off' storyline being seeded.

I still cannot believe how locked in Niggles appears to be.
DIdn't seem a clearcut 6 forerunner this season, when he wasn't injured. -
@chucknz said in All Blacks EOYT:
Isn't Lio-Willie more capable of playing multiple positions where Sotutu is more of a specialist hence why he wasn't picked? And given we have 2 eights already it makes sense to have some who can cover 6 & 7
Kinda ironic that all three hybrid loosies injured at once!

Not hard if that is the reason, but then that reasoning is hard to understand based on performance.

Have to feel for Blackadder
But it's time for the coach to throw in the towel
It's obvious Blackadder isn't going to quit
And you have to admire that tenacity at least

Some might see shuffling off to Japan as quitting....
Be heroic if he does that and be disgusting if Sotutu leaves, no doubt.

Phew. I was about to add to the WTF with Sotutu theme, but now I don't have to.
Even I can't figure out the point of this post now.

So Sotutu has been playing NPC on an injured knee.
Might explain a few things to his detractors. -

@antipodean said in All Blacks EOYT:
So Hoskins is reportedly out with a knee injury now.
He must have bumped Blackadder in the lobby, contagious niggle.
Probably code for "I give up"
can't like that one.
It's fucken sad

Sounds like a bullshit take on the facts - Razor said both Counties and All Blacks medical staff agreed he has a knee injury that rules him out.

So pretty much a full complement
No excuses

Nobody? Somebody called Wallace seemed to go alright.
He’s v inexperienced though. Wallace is basically a Grommet; therefore the jury is still out.

This 2022 forward pack for the U20s is looking like a glimpse into the next few years. I reckon that loosie trio could be together in the senior squad soon enough.https://www.rugby.com.au/match-centre/68e899d9ee85768c5?tab=Player-Lineup
What a team that was, no wonder they won by 50 points.
