@Duluth said in All Blacks 2023:

If the All Blacks do call up Blackadder you have to question what role Luke Jacobson has

This seems to be the selectors current preferences by position

6 - Shannon, Barrett, Papali'i, Jacobson
7 - Cane, Papali'i, Jacobson
8 - Savea, Jacobson

If Blackadder does get added doesn't he slot in ahead of Jacobson in every position?

Yeah I had thought this , if you brought in Blackadder , would you be better off swapping out Jacobson for something bigger ( if it was that easy ) because isn’t it all too much of the same .

which trophies did the ABs not win?

Funnily enough the ABs have won or retained all trophies they play for under Foz! Actually up to this satge is most successful AB coach at that since turn of the century!

Yeah not necessarily a loose forward, another lock would be useful too

Narawa seems to have been very unlucky based on this.

"It's incredibly sad. In the Twickenham week, he ran his fastest time of the year. He was coming back from a niggly back after the Argentina test. He felt he was coming right; he's trained well and worked incredibly hard, but the last thing he did on Monday was jar it. It turns out it was the other side of the disc.

It is pretty funny.
I suppose we can ignore the home loss to Argentina and home series loss to Ireland because no "trophies" were up for grabs.

@george33 ....surely....there is no way they would let him play on the weekend if he was about to fly out...you'd get him there ASAP to avoid injury, get over jet lag and re align with the squad?

[george33]

Not sure maybe haven't seen Auckland team yet

Taking the bus to France may take while.

[Chris]

if it is Akira why the Fuck have they kept Finau in London all this time, send him home and let him play.
More brilliant Fozzie logic,I hope he travels through London so he can wave to Finau.
