AB Test Team v France.

@tim said in AB Test Team v France.:
Whitelock was completely outplayed by Ioane a few weeks ago in Mitre 10 Cup. His selection is a joke.
Not a highlanders fan huh? If it’s not Squire it’s whitelock who is pure shite.
Might have gone with Akira myself but whitelock is a better play than when first called up.
Yes it’s a tough crowd here, did not watch much Mitre 10 but Whitelock was outstanding in Super Rubgy this year, one of Highlanders best. Much tighter than any of our rangeier number 8 s who Hansen seems to prefer. Would walk into the test team in any other country.

@stargazer Well, if he's out and Akira isn't called in, the game's afoot!

Wow. I read some shit on here about Charlie Ngatai but this? Talk about bullshit AB arrogance.
Someone better inform Picamoles, Vunipola, Vermuelen, Heaslip and even old mate Parisse that they're no where near as good as they think they are.

L Whitelock has certainly had a good season and playing better than when he was originally selected for the ABs but he showed nothing on the weekend for the Barbarians to suggest he would 'walk into test teams' - he was as anonymous as Kaino was.

I thought he was pretty good on the weekend, very solid in defense. Gets involved a lot at the breakdown.
The Barbarians loosies as a unit were more effective than the ABs

I thought he was good aswell on the weekend! I think his defence has improved a lot and also he has very good hands and reads the game well

@mn5 top marks for froth, but might hold more sway if you watched rugby. Did you really just say Vermuelen?

Yep. Him > L Whitelock
I'm too busy entertaining ferners in the country to watch rugby regularly. I'd rather have lots of spare $$$ than get raped by Sky for payments.

I'd like to know how comments from Ferners make the ABs arrogant. I've never heard any ABs - individually or collectively - say (publicly) that they are better than any other player. To the contrary, they are usually quite humble. Don't be like the British/European media and give the ABs labels based on comments from NZ fans/journos/ferners.

We have the Angus-meister for this game anyway. Could hardly give us a French ref...

100% stand by that comment , particularly Ireland , France and England who can’t get Kiwis in their teams quick enough. He would absolutely find a place in their 2nd or back rows.

So he's a lock now too ? Christ on a bike, anything else? Is he one of the best in the world there too?
