B BarrettI really hate "worst All Blacks" threads ...
... but this is truly terrifying..
-
@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 ðŸ˜

@Yeahtheboys and I wouldn't cringe as much seeing Romano as I would Caird!

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 😅

Really really really good question

@kiwi_expat 2002-3 was enough

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 think we need a definition of SWB too as Robinson and Evans don't fit the Sam Broomhall/Suitcase/Mark Carter mould.

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.

Can't be bothered looking up how to spell all the long Islander names.

Pffft, correct spelling of names has never been a hinderance on the Fern.

Unless of course it is Messam. I think getting his name wrong earned the death sentence for a while there.
