the selection thing is totally dispiriting. We finally got shot of the ultimate brown-nosed company man career loser, the brave new winner guy is finally in....... and he just picks his mates.

Sure, theyve only got 1 week to get ready for Eng so had to go with the old heads but ffs the Sotutu thing is blowing up online. Coaches with PR damage control quibbles over his workrate "both sides of the ball" meanwhile Slackbladder rocks up after 2 games all season for his Good Cantabs Lad jersey, Beauden hasnt played in NZ all year and rocks up for his.....


ps LOL@Coattails Hansen and his useless nepo baby mate still trying to do retro damage control on their failing legacies. Getting excoriated in the comments section here:

Will Jordan. "Both sides of the ball"? He pretty much vanished in the RWC final and his positioning on D is half lost. He will WALK back into the team at fullback, no ifs no buts. Fair enough too, try scoring machine. A bit like that try scoring machine from the Blues forward pack.

According to the PR fluff clips, Razor, you're the Man Of The People, how about, you know, taking on the best coach in the country challenge and try working with different kinds of people for the first time. NZers are not all white Cantabs mate. Some of them are staunch brown Blues Bros from the wrong side of Onehunga who just killdozered the whole soup rugby comp and scored tries on the boomfa regular

The Blackadder thing is rather funny. He's somehow anointed as a test level loosie when he's played 10 tests in total - half of those from the bench and has maybe had 1 big performance against a top test opponent.

9 of those 10 tests were 3 years ago also with a token rwc bench appearance against a minnow in last year's world cup to make up the 10.

It's almost unfair on Sititi, Jacobsen, Slackbladder and Finau. They are set up for a hiding to nothing

ALL the talk online is about Sotutu being done wrong which means that 4 will have to SET THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD ON FIRE right from the start or else all the talk is going to be "they picked this doofus ahead of the 12-try mofo who carved up Soup Rugby? Where's the both sides of the ball from this useless fuck selection, Razor?"

The blow up when Finau gets his inevitable first red card from a northern hemisphere ref is going to be deluxe

He's also played only 41 super games, compared to Hoskins 67 for example.

The guy has retired, we have good loosies - why oh why would you go back to Cane?!?

Exhibit A:

"The following players were not considered due to injury: Sam Cane, Will Jordan, Samisoni Taukei’aho, Cam Roigard."

per allblacks.com

Exhibit B:

Was at AB camp yesterday.

He's getting picked.

Edit: I've gone back & checked as many articles covering his quitting the captaincy as I could find & none of them mention his retirement being immediate. Several even quote him as wanting to still be involved & with 95 caps to his name why wouldn't he push on to 100?

Seems a bit pointless as he's A) retiring at the end of the season; and B) there are more than capable replacements. As a bonus, those replacements don't have a history of throwing out regular high shots.

If they think Cane is best for team this year, they should pick him. Sick of this shit of picking for future, they should be picking for winning tests now(F*** the WC shit we got plenty of time to bed in team). I not sure if they will pick him or not, but the 2 biggest things that make me think he got a chance is he at the camp, and the the reasons they used for leaving out Hoskins. They want people who work on both sides of ball, never any doubt about that with Cane. I think it's why Blackadder and Jacobson in team, workrate on and off the ball?
