    Jordie goooorn

    Havili in? jesus christ. Our team is starting to look a bit shit, especially when Smith goes on holiday.

    Havili had an awesome season at fullback. His only down-side is that he has never been in the AB environment, but otherwise a great selection. I assume if they don't play Dagg at fullback, Dmac might actually be the one in the 15 jersey. Havili will be mostly there as injury cover and it's good to bring him in fast to get him up to speed and let him train with the big boys.

    Nanai isn't screwed over by the AB selectors. He just hasn't played enough in the 15 jersey this season. If his non-selection by the Ab coaches were the result of being screwed over (I doubt it), the only one responsible for that is Tana. AB selectors can't select someone who hasn't proven himself enough during the season (unless they have already proven themselves in the AB environment before).

    Hey - we needed Havili at the Mako$!

    I presume that - even though he's not officially part of the squad yet - DMac is already with the squad?

    @akan004 Probably hard for Nanai to make the ABs when he can't make the Blues team.

    Havilli has had a good season - well done - just please don't let him anywhere near the 12 jersey!

    At least Nanai won't be stuck behind Super Rugby Rookie Superstar Collins for Auckland.

    Nanai is now getting screwed over by the AB selectors as well.

    Whatever... he cant even get a start for the worst team in the NZ conference.

    Havilii was named player of the season in the side that won the comp. Well deserved.

    @mariner4life You promised we could have 13 Crusaders.

    That's 11 - who are the other two going to be?

    I sincerely hope not.

    Interesting that they've gone for Havili over Buckman - presumably they see Buckman as mainly a midfielder with utility value.

    @antipodean Isn't this the queue for the 15 jersey? Smith - Dagg - Jordie - Dmac? NMS is there as a wing. For Bledisloe, they have Smith. After that, it was either Dagg or, if they prefer to keep him on the wing, Jordie. Dmac is in the squad because Smith won't be available for the RC, so next after Jordie?

    Havili. His error rate is lower and he's six feet tall...

    @antipodean I can't write things like that on here. It provokes reactions like the one above. 😆

    That is a shame for Barrett, but plenty of time going forward. I wonder if he can practice kicking with a dodgy shoulder, he might be able to come up with some weird routine like everyone else.

    Sucks for Jordie. He did it going for the corner against the Lions, got up holding his shoulder in a lot of pain. I was surprised he stayed on the field after that.

    @Stargazer the main reason I post on here is to provoke a reaction. Go for your life.

    So I'm assuming BB will move to fullback late in games so Lima can come on and kick the important goals?

    Take two between Todd, Tamanivalu and Goodhue.
