    Awful squad, low expectations have been met.

    Blackadder, Bell, Sititi, Perofeta, Vaai are the worst picks IMO. Each one has a better option.

    Um bladder and sititi, who? Sotutu and....

    Akira obviously

    Ah good point, I discounted him as he's off

    The theory being the reason he is off is cos he got the word....

    his presser was someone making a decision they hated but made financial sense.

    @Canes4life the only thing I’ll say about Perofeta is that he was playing excellent footy under Rangi last season and given he has AB experience I think they will back themselves to try and get that best out of him.

    That's a reach. He was playing about the same as he was this season (when he wasn't injured) and his test experience is fuck all. A japan test where he looked poor and 30 seconds in another test

    @Kirwan it’s a great squad. Just not the players you like.

    For those that wanted change, this is what it looks like. No great surprises to me, except the inclusion of Perofeta, and the bolters (Sititi, Tosi).

    And he was clearly gutted. Imagine an always injured Crusader getting picked over you after three games, particuarly as he had his best season playing the tight rugby they asked him to play.

    Congratulations to them!

    you can tell it's a controversial squad naming when nobody's questioning how Christie got back in.

    Remember

    This is the first squad only

    Ted's first squad in 2004 had Xavier Rush in it.

    Luke Jacobson, Wallace Sititi and Ethan Blackadder very lucky.

    Should be Hoskins Sotutu, Akira Ioane and Peter Lakai.

    A starting loose trio of Finau, Papali’i and Savea for England 1 could do the business

    You know he's going to start Blackadder.

    7 Crusaders. And the Captain

    Image if they had won again

    Absolutely gutted for Grace, Lio-Willie, Hannah, Hotham, Havili, McLeod and Fihaki. They were very hard done by.

    I’m going to wait until after the first game before I make any conclusions. So many toys out of the cot.

    This reminds me of the good old days of Robinson being picked over Umaga.

    Blues lock Sam Darry, Hurricanes outside back Ruben Love and the Crusaders pair of prop George Bower and midfielder David Havili will also assemble with the squad as cover.

    Dropped the starting number 8 from the previous season to the bench as a result too.

    These one-eyed Blues coaches…

    I like the Tosi pick - he's a weapon
