The Silver Fern

We have better players than Australia

It’s all about the selections and tactics

If Farrell tries to get us to play like Ireland then we’ll lose the series

That puzzle has been solved

Was there any big surprises? Mack Hansen the biggest surprise for me, I mean he's a decent player, but a Lion? I would have gone Darcy Graham ahead of him, and not just because he's a Scot.

@MiketheSnow - how much can you get behind this squad? I'm not fishing here, I'm genuinely curious. When there's more kiwi's in the squad than Welsh, is it something you can really get your heart and soul behind?

100% behind them

Even when Russell scores the series winning try ?

I’ve got more chance

Fuck me

Chapeau

Love the pies as an adult

@MiketheSnow It depends how you define bolter.

Henry Pollock's burst on the scene that's for sure, but my point was his inclusion isn't a surprise given how he's been playing.

If Doris was fit he wouldn’t have made it

Cummings and Hansen are the only surprises. And those aren't massive ones. No bolter.

Strong squad. The Aussies have their work cut out.

Pollock is a massive bolter

The players in French clubs very under represented. I'd have had Jack Willis every day of the week.

Scheduling and bonding time seems to be the issue

England 13
Ireland 15
Scotland 8
Wales 2

Surprised with Cummings and Conan

Would have taken George instead of LCD

Didn't catch all the names, but one that stood out to me was Finn Smith. Surprise selection?

No. Thoroughly deserved.

Valid

Wales are the old Scotland

Scots will always have Whisky to fall back on.

Leeks don't have the same appeal

We have our own whisky thanks very much

It lifted my spirits and filled my heart with joy

Could have gone in the 'F off' thread

2 dorises talking about Doris

I hope to fuck we get better than that from Sky during the tour
