With over 50 games in the MF for Ta$man and Toulon Leicester Fai'anganuku has played, he has enough experience in that position to be tried there for the ABs.
Ta$man? Well fuck, we've unearthed the next McCaw - pluck him straight out of the NPC and watch him dominate! Except for on defence as his stats showed at Toulon.
If the criteria is but not at international Level then no new players can ever gets selected for the ABs as they have never played there.
Demonstrate competency at SR level. He has no body of work against his peers justifying selection.

Is this the page that usually puts the team up ?

Jeez was Carisbrook 2001 really the last time the Wallabies great the ABs in NZ?
Another record for Razor to create....
No, would rather keep the powder dry for the Scots inaugural victory in November.

@Landers92 Over the years there's been various media people who have posted here and confirmed that quite a few other media people are lurkers.
Can they man up and start calling for Savea and Barrett to be dropped?

No leaks on social media as of yet. Perhaps those types of pages were spying on the fern
The worst part about it is the guy behind the Myth of Dmac page tells everyone on his page those leaks are his. Yet would post leaked teams not long after yourself has posted them in here.
What a shame.

Big bros form fell off a cliff and he was jettisoned quick smart for Ioane if memory serves. No fucking around from Hansen.
If he was just a bit younger he’d have racked up 100 tests as well.

Burned in my memory is a test balance of 3-8 from that era.
Australia hosted the Olympics - invested massively in sport (...and probably PEDs...he said darkly)
- and beat the shit out of us at everything.It was an awful time!

Rieko, ALB, Proctor.......all crap.
They're not that crap though, not really.
Rieko was good in the last WC, Proctor has had a great Super season, and ALB is a long-term AB - he may be past his best, but he's not actually a terrible footy player.
My point being that none of them are as bad as they are being made to look in our backline - which suggest the problem is not whoever plays at centre - and that means parachuting in Leicester solves fuck-all.I think one of the biggest issues the ABs have is not having a carrier in the midfield. That is one of our major competitive advantages over other countries we have (yet don’t utilise it).
Even though they’ve been mediocre recently… Rieko, ALB and Proctor would benefit massively from having a big, direct ball-carrier inside them.
Other teams don’t fear our midfield and will gladly run the blitz defense, as nobody in our midfield can break the defensive line or even the first tackle.

I thought Jordie was supposed to be the big carrier, or did he just seem that way compared to David Havili ?

Clear as day. I don't know who (Duluth would know, but wouldn't be allowed to share), but there will be plenty of players, coaches and media who read on here.

Jordie was carrying hard when he first moved to 12.
If you look at stats for 24 September 2022 against the Wallabies:
Jordie Barrett
17 Carries
81 Metres
7 Defenders Beaten
9 PassesJordie can carry it over the gain line but that is not part of Robertson's game plan. Robertson's game plan is about getting it out to the wings with back door passing and the first five either static or running diagonal/sideways.
