Firstly, they can't name a team in order, so they're full of shit. Then they name a 13 at 12. Dickheads.
And I'll admit my ignorance about their nominated 2.

Replace Hog with Jordie (hog was nowhere near as good when put under pressure, jordie thrived this year), and not sure about Lawes - I'd go Siya in 6, loopy hooper in 7.
Best attempt I've seen in the press

Thanks @booboo, appreciate the effort you put in to make this happen
-
FYI. Polls are live here:
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/category/51/team-of-the-yearExcept for 11 Karl Marx (because I skipped from 1st 5/8 to 2nd 5/8 and forgot 11 is quite out of order), and 16 Coach (coz I have to edit some stuff). Will fix them up and add in the a.m. Straya time.
So as they say in the best democracies: Vote early, vote often.

@machpants any chance you can also post the players he picks so I don't have to watch it

Put them in a spoiler if you do. Some of us enjoy finding out within the vid.

@delicatessen What's the spoiler code? The help doesn't help!

Well Jordie Barrett and Rieko Ioane don't rate a mention in his back three review, so I wouldn't bother.

Ioane was in the centres one

@machpants I did, and skipped through some of it. Didn't see either of them discussed in his selections or rated a mention parts. Did see them briefly on screen.
Also, he sounds like a particularly adenoidal teenager, and is about as funny as the average Stuff comments section poster.

Jordie is honourably mentioned in the back the, as 'one of the ABs real weapons this year'.
I think he's funny as, and enjoy it. Also was he points out at the start, this is not the best player in that position as much as the ones he enjoys watching the most.
