Latu is now one injury away. Hilarious.

Seems unlikely given Schmidt's circumstances.

Razor will take it. It's essentially a free swing at a world cup.

All Blacks have historically had a queue of in-form explosive wingers waiting for a shot so even the slightest hint of lost form and the current incumbent would be replaced. It helps that MKs game isn't really built on outright speed. He's more about physicality and work rate. He's got a bit...

I'm just gunna say it: I don't know why we are selecting JOC (James O'Connor) and I think we will regret it.

Really only covers one position. It is a bit odd. Bit harsh on Philip to be dropped entirely IMO.

Was Hockings actually big bodied? he was certainly tall but I remember him being fairly average in contact being fairly young and still on the lighter side. He'd probably make the side but I doubt he's really what we need, anyway. I don't think what we need is actually available. Might as well...

That's going to cause some consternation

Using their best pack at the business end of the game. He still gets 40 mins.

Latu has a higher ceiling than any of our current hookers. Hes also a complete menace and needs at least a full Super Rugby season with no indiscretions before he should be considered. That said if our current injury run continues he'll be in before we know it.

The number of injuries this season has been truly ludicrous.

So we are more likely to improve longer term by relying on a stopgap now? sorry Dru - not following the rationale here.

Why did it do him no favours? He did well. We didn't lose any of the subsequent two games because of anything he did (except, perhaps, for failing to dive on a loose ball). We very much lost those last two games in the pigs. Lolesio was fine.

Never seen the point of playing a 10 from the bench. If the game is in the balance in any way the chances of them actually getting on the field are essentially nil. And then, if the game isnt and they do what are they really getting from it? 10 is a bit all or nothing I think. I also think...

I don't know if we watched the same Super Rugby season but Tate's form really tailed off. His option taking in the Crusaders game was the worst I've ever seen it. I think Tate is ultimately going to be the better player and earn more caps over his career than Gordon but not sure his warrants...

I want to see Vunivalu but otherwise first choice.

Great to see Jeds passion and how much earning that cap meant to him. Hope he gets many more. Congrats to Gibbon too.

I keep thinking I've seen your finest work but your suffering really bring through the gold. I shall not forget bumslurry shartdump.

Lol

Can I ask where you are from? (could probably guess by time zone but I cbf doing that kinda math)
