    Havilli has had a good season - well done - just please don't let him anywhere near the 12 jersey!

    At least Nanai won't be stuck behind Super Rugby Rookie Superstar Collins for Auckland.

    Nanai is now getting screwed over by the AB selectors as well.

    Whatever... he cant even get a start for the worst team in the NZ conference.

    Havilii was named player of the season in the side that won the comp. Well deserved.

    @mariner4life You promised we could have 13 Crusaders.

    That's 11 - who are the other two going to be?

    I assume if they don't play Dagg at fullback, Dmac might actually be the one in the 15 jersey.

    I sincerely hope not.

    Interesting that they've gone for Havili over Buckman - presumably they see Buckman as mainly a midfielder with utility value.

    @antipodean Isn't this the queue for the 15 jersey? Smith - Dagg - Jordie - Dmac? NMS is there as a wing. For Bledisloe, they have Smith. After that, it was either Dagg or, if they prefer to keep him on the wing, Jordie. Dmac is in the squad because Smith won't be available for the RC, so next after Jordie?

    Havili. His error rate is lower and he's six feet tall...

    @antipodean I can't write things like that on here. It provokes reactions like the one above. 😆

    That is a shame for Barrett, but plenty of time going forward. I wonder if he can practice kicking with a dodgy shoulder, he might be able to come up with some weird routine like everyone else.

    Sucks for Jordie. He did it going for the corner against the Lions, got up holding his shoulder in a lot of pain. I was surprised he stayed on the field after that.

    @Stargazer the main reason I post on here is to provoke a reaction. Go for your life.

    So I'm assuming BB will move to fullback late in games so Lima can come on and kick the important goals?

    Take two between Todd, Tamanivalu and Goodhue.

    Ah shit. It looked serious but he kept on playing (badly).

    Was bloody excited to see him play in the RC.

    Poo bum wee.

    I wonder if/when they will take a punt on using DMac as a 10/15 reserve now.
    I think they weren't going to do that until later in the year after he got some 10 time with Waikato but they may roll the dice if they can a little earlier now.

    @Crucial Surely they'll be thinking they need to give Sopoaga plenty of time in the 10 jersey, now? He's hardly a test veteran. Barring injuries, I think he should be getting any time at 10 that Beauden doesn't.

    Will be interesting to see what they do when Ben Smith goes on sabbatical. They will no doubt mix it up a bit - but, form and fitness permitting, I'd tend to go with a first choice line-up of:

    Smith, Barrett, SBW, Crotty, Ioane/Naholo, NMS, Dagg

    Perenara, Sopoaga, ALB

    Skudder might not have the form to warrant this but, if he does, it gives the "two fullbacks" back three.

    @Chris-B. Feels like Lima has been an allblack for a long time now but been virtually never used
