                    I thought the Roots' were automatic selections in any of your teams

                          @mariner4life That'll probably be the side they'll go with, maybe with Blackadder and Frizzell fighting it out for the 6 jersey.

                            My expectations for the ABs could be lower coming into the 2023 RWC than any other RWC ever

                                I am terrified by the thought that when I check that team against this, 90% of these picks will be correct (Frizell is missing).

                                      @Yeahtheboys rough! Didn't think Brown, Burke, Havili and especially Gilbert had been bad this season. I'd take any of them over Hunt 😭

                                          Razor must be a goddamn supercoach for maintaining a 'greater than the sum of their parts' Crusaders, look at all that Red & Black mediocrity.

                                            @kiwi_expat the other day there was an opinion piece on stuff about how the crusaders dynasty is starting to look shaky and I must confess I thought of you at the time of reading 😅

                                              That’s a bit rough. After the coach he’s been the Blues best.

                                                      That’s a bit rough. After the coach he’s been the Blues best.

                                                                              @Bones when was Deans ever All Blacks coach?

                                                                              When poor Daryl Gibson got kept on the bench to prevent him joining his 14 fellow Cantabrians in the starting All Black lineup against Ireland. About 2002?

                                                                              I was happy with Gibson on the bench as he wasn’t a specialist winger but they could have definitely picked Scott Hamilton instead of the overrated show pony Jonah Lomu.

                                                                              Power, pace, dynamism and X factor are such a waste, especially on the wing. Give me someone slow and steady who is able to play to a predictable pattern any day of the week.
