Good to see NZR sticking to their guns
‘No appetite’: NZ Rugby won't budge on All Blacks eligibility after failed Mo’unga swoop
Players must be contracted to the national union to wear the black jersey.

Good. Even though parts of our game plan have gone stale in the last few years, something we always have is talent in our own backyard.

Razor must be a bit slow, but even he must realise that the tail does not wag the All Black dog

I think he'll raise it again in the next 6 months
With or without stellar play from DMac

DMac is so much better than Barrett at 10 right now it's not funny. How Beaudy is the AB starting 10 I have no idea.

And RM isn't significantly better than DMac to change rules to let him play

He will. It's probably why Barrett gets put at 10.

And why he selects EB. What with Akira overseas too.

Unfortunately Wallace's injury has made that selection narrative easier for a while

You reckon he's going to try and select Akira from overseas?

Nope. I'm just saying he can pick EB now because "we have no one else" with Wallace down

True, not like he selected EB when WS was available last year.

How did EB go in round one ?
Played through injury. What a warrior.
Busy and ineffective as always I assume ?

There is an accepted narrative out there that beaudy is experienced and calm, and dmac is erratic ,
once people form opinions it takes a lot of convincing to change their minds

shit, maybe 6 years ago.
Look, I love Beaudy to bits, but he is not the player he was a few years ago. For me, DMac should be the locked in 10 for the ABs; he's one of the few who creates with pass and pace. Mo'unga wsa getting better, but after 4 years in the jersey you'd expect more from him. And who knows how he comes back from Japan. He never really delivered at Test level in the 10 jersey.
