    <p>Parsons? I don't expect him back in black, unless Coles, Taylor, H Elliott, A Dixon and Coltman are all injured.</p>

    <p>Yes, definitely! There's nothing strange about the idea that Buckman could be an All Black. He was huge for the Highlanders last year and was in the NZ Barbarians squad for a good reason. Laumape and Thompson are well behind him in the queue (don't think they will be considered this year, if they will be at all). It's an incredible setback for him that he got seriously injured during that pre-season game against Racing92. Unfortunately, he's still about 4 months away from playing again.</p>

    <p>This is the Fern. I've never known a player to have support from supposed rugby intellects quite like the Barracuda.</p>

    He's from Hawkes Bay. Of course he's going to be an AB, they're the bestest players ever

    It was inevitable though. Every selection thread inevitably turns to what HB players have or haven't been picked

    Next they'll be telling us "The Bay" refers to BOP, not HB. Sacrilegious. </p>

    <p>When is the last time we actually had a bolter? You'd probably have to go back to Mitchell when random guys were called up left & right or even better Mains where literally all of Harbour, Waikato & Otago got a cap despite being awful.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>No one capped this year won't have been flagged WAY in advance & made 5 teams of the week during the super comp. Guys who have been in the wider training group, mentioned as stand-bys or are the Super rugby top try scorer ain't bolters.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>One of the great things about Hansen / Ted has been that they very rarely just select some guy from left field based on a hunch & then have to go "whoops!". tho in some ways I sort of miuss turning on the team announcement & going "Eric Rush is playing fucking where? Our backline is Little at 10, Bunce at 12 & Clarke at 13? Kirwan has been dropped for Marc Ellis? How many beers have I had?"</p>

    <p>I'd say the last out and out bolter was Joe Moody when he first came into the team. Everyone went Joe whooooo.</p>

    Bird was picked solely on promise and a hunch. You could even argue that Coles jumped the queue. BBBR simply forced his way in. <br>
    If there was one selection that would surprise most but turn out to be a good one it could be Fifita.

    <p>Thats true. There is more chance for props as no one really pays any attention to then during the Super season, and its often the guys who seemingly do nothing that are actually test candidates, because they aren't going 60m bumping guys off as they are buried in rucks & scumaging.</p>

    Agree SM, Moody was a genuine come from nowhere. He was a sometimes bench player not that long ago and then when he started to feature more in the Saders prop rotation all of a sudden he was wearing black. <br><br>
    I thought Tuipoluto was a bit of a bolter.
