All Blacks C team...

[Machpants]

Not the most dynamic speaker but an interesting thought exercise. If the entire current ABs squad was 'Suzied' or 'Old Christianed', who would get picked?

He came up with this, some def areas of weakness - which is what makes it interesting, as we could have a Beaver situation in a years time (although people like Todd, Dagg, and other Japanese tourists would also be available for that).

Yes he forgot a back up 10....

[akan004]

No Papalii or Jordan? What's this guy smoking?

[antipodean]

I find these tedious. It's not interesting until you work out the last XV you'd select from Super Rugby.

[Tim]

@akan004 I don't think this guy watches much NPC.

@act-crusader wins TSF today.

[Chris B.]

@act-crusader Actually, if you chucked in Alaalatoa and Strange, I like your team better than the original.

You could play Jordan on the left wing instead of T. Mako, as well. He's certainly been more impressive during the M10 Cup.

[Canes4life]

Gareth Evans & Matt Proctor would walk into this team.

And would still be beaten by Auckland, right?

[Canes4life]

@mn5 Is that how we pick our All Blacks now is it? A fair representation from each team... yeah right.

Proctor is better than Walden and Evans is better than Prinsep (fellow Cane).

[Cantab79]

Not a bad effort in the OP. I'd have Papali'i at 7, Makalio at 2, Proctor at 13 and Thompson at 12, but other than that I think this guy's team is pretty good.

so in what disaster does Fifita (currently on tour) survive to make the ABs and none others on tour do?

Not to mention, Read is here avoiding whatever disaster has befallen our ABs...silly game

If Fifita is avoiding it, it might be something to do with a ruck?

I guess the vid was recorded just before he was called up. Not exactly the best vid, but I thought the idea was interesting.

I reckon it'd probably still beat a few of the other League of Nations Top 12 teams

[Nepia]

Reed Prinsep? I don't have any issues with the concept (it's basically the equivalent of us talking tutae on here) but damn the selection is a bit off.

Possibly - but, not by the Blues!
