How does Kearney still keep getting picked? Surely there's better fullbacks in Ireland.

Look. Tana and BOD have buried the hatchet and are sharing a laugh.
This needs a new caption,
“ they paid you how much and you won how many games?
“ yeah I know right”
Sound of uncontrollable laughter -
Foster confirmed as ABs Head Coach post Hansen, as he is now responsible for banter/mind games/wind up

@machpants Don't know what Foster hopes to gain from criticising Aki for doing what was best for his career when Foster didn't pick him for higher honours.

Aki has been copping a fair bit this week from various sources. It's kind of like people just worked out that he's playing for Ireland now, but hey I'm sure he's shrugged it off.

Aaron Smith will play his 82nd Test match and become the most capped All Blacks halfback in history, overtaking Justin Marshall, while Brodie Retallick and Samuel Whitelock will set a new record for an All Blacks starting lock partnership, starting in their 50th Test together.

Hand grenade time....
Marshall was better than Smith is.
Eras make it difficult to judge but Marshall was bloody effective and 96 vs boks best series ever by a NZ halfback
Dare I say it, discuss
