You would pick ... who?
I guess in a roundabout way I'm pointing out that the next cabs off the rank are kinda poor after Whitelock and Retallick.

@mn5 never really let the ABs down though has he.
BBBR, Whitelock................> Barrett, Romano, Tuipulotu, Franklin, Lousi...

Romano has been a good All Black.

Still a load of shit. He may not be Whitelock or BBBR but he has solidly been 3rd or 4th behind those guys for a bloody long time and has earnt that spot.

Fair enough but I'm not the first on here to question his ability and selection although as I alluded to the excellence of BR and SW means the next guy picked is always gonna suffer in comparison.

Retallick injury:
"That injury is, short-term, probably a couple of weeks. Long-term, could be out for the whole season," Hansen told Newstalk ZB's Martin Devlin. "Until we get some imagery and get him up in front of our medical crew [in Auckland] we won't have too much of an idea."
Luke Whitelock:
Fellow starting All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock was also entering the week ahead under an injury cloud as he makes his way back from a concussion, however Hansen was confident the Crusaders lock would play. "He tells me he's ready to go, he's been doing some good training and we expect he'll be fine."

Dammit!
LukeSam Whitelock:Thought for a second that another player had gone down. Phew.

Could this be a left field option considering he was ranked ahead of D Carter?
A versatile player that covers fullback and first five as a bonus

Squire cleared.
See below to see how they got around it. Looks like bullshit to me.
*"The Foul Play Review Committee found that the Player had legitimately entered the ruck 'through the gate', and not at great speed, with the intent of cleaning out the other Player. The Player had taken up, and held, a correct body position in order to try and effect the clean out, with his upper body and head in a horizontal plane and with both his hands (neither with closed fists) in a position to be able to engage and grapple with the other player around his torso (about the level of the shoulder blades)."
"As the Player entered the ruck, and immediately before he engaged with the other player, that other player was in a head down, bottom up, position facing in the direction of the Player. At the very last moment the other player dropped down on his knees (possibly, in part, as a result of the actions of other players), and brought his upper body, shoulders and head up, directly into the line of the committed Squire.
"The resulting impact between the two, which was not of significant force (and did not require any HIA), was virtually instantaneous. In these circumstances the citing was not made out on the evidence. The player is therefore free to play."*

@gt12 That's an absolute joke. If I ever get on the wrong side of the law, I want Aaron Lloyd to be my lawyer.
I can already hear foreign sports media moaning about one law for the All Blacks, another law for the rest. Geez, you can't even blame them.
