    Negotiations I see - looks like Akira's wait for a test cap will be over soon. 😉

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/106244247/vaea-fifita-confused-by-the-reason-for-his-all-blacks-omission

    Coaches can pick who they want and Fifita understood why Hansen left him out of this squad, given the whole playing lock thing.
    
    "He told me that. But when I saw he got interviewed and he said he signed Hemopo to six, not lock, I kind of feel like he's not telling me the truth. But that's life," Fifita said on Tuesday.

    He has a point.

    If that was both his private and public explanation for his omission.

    @kiwimurph I realise Shields was captain, but if you can't unseat him from that starting position, perhaps you're not good enough to be an All Black?

    The bloke starts for England, that's a bit harsh...

    Fifita has mainly been used as a lock for the Canes, including the 2016 final.

    .................Not a great quote from Fifita in the herald... I like a 6 who thrives on doing the hard work

    The stuff not readily apparent to spectators? The imperceptible nuances in the dim dark places that permit others to shine?

    Scratches his head while looking across at Dane Coles. 😉

    TBF, Tongan Fifita's real problem is that he plays too much for the Canes - 10 minute cameos bro!
