If we just look same old, might as well have kept the fat guy.

@Kiwiwomble He is most likely in AB camp today then

hmmmm....
If true, that's such a backwards selection. I thought Razor was all about innovation and picking the 'best' players? Cane hasn't played for ages and is 'E Blackadder' level injury prone these days.
-
Sorry, i just went to buy microwave popcorn in bulk for when Cane gets picked and Lakai doesn't.

A little surprised if he is fit already, but I kind off expected him in the Championship squad.
It seemed like a negotiated exit.. he cuts his (expensive) contract short in return he gets nursed to 100 caps

Since when did we hand out the AB jersey to players that haven’t earned the right? If he went back to NPC and put his hand up again then so be it but he hasn’t played in ages. So disappointing if true.

sounds plausible....but by fuck thats a depressing reality to accept

Given I didn't watch the Six Nations - what should we expect from England? Is this basically the team they used - or did they have Farrell etc?
Farrel was unavailable fro 6n, so the now injured Ford started all the games. Their tens are much worse than ours, DMAC> than them and obvs Beaudy heaps of experience and Plummer at a level similar to the two Smiths
-
@Machpants Cheers.
What about their other backs - any new guns?
-
@Kiwiwomble said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
hmmmm....
so that and Scott Barrett captain..
should be fun
-
Yeah both the wings have been on fire in club, and their midfield looks very good - Slade is on form. It's a very flash harry bunch for england, not a huge amount of caps the backs vs Japan about 150 - 60 are Slade's and 30 each for Smith and Lawrence
-
Not sure if it is displaying.
Devlin saying his source has Scott Barrett to be named as Captain. -

Devlin saying his source has Scott Barrett to be named as Captain.That won't surprise me.
My guess is that Cane is at Razor's camp and that's extrapolated to him making the team.
I'd expect Beauden and Ardie (assuming he's in the country) to be there - and probably some of the injured guys who won't be fit for England - Jordan, Roigard etc.

Considering Razor dropped Wyatt Crockett on 99 caps, I highly doubt he is being "nursed" to 100.
That's not the way Razor works.It'll be because they still rate him

Yeah I agree. Barrett as capt is pretty obvious for his connection with Razor to be Captain, ala Cane with foster. At least he is by far the best in his role, unlike Cane for his entire tenure

Starting to have faith in this Razor bloke.

When did Razor drop Crockett on 99 caps?
I think you have your wires crossed. Razor dropped Crockett for his last game for the Crusaders in a Super Rugby Final.
Agree with you though, it will be because they still rate him. Razor doesn’t seem one to hand games out just to be a nice guy.
