What has Havili done lately

[JK]

Gee just when we were getting comfortable with fozzies randomness, we are back in that uncomfortable place

Scored the try last year that saved Foster’s job.

[bayimports]

Finau likely to pack his angry eyes if he gets selected for Waikato this week.. damn you Foster

[KiwiMurph]

Schmidt's RWC experience of getting pumped in a quarter final must be useful at the selection table......

are they playing us?

might be a good week to feel a tweak in the calf

@Nepia said in AB RWC Squad:

No Finau! FFS.

Christie.

Havilli.

🤮

Ah well, time to shut off my phone and hopefully watch a good movie over the Ta$man.

Drama queens a plenty on this forum. You’d think these guys are disabled cripples. Sure Christie is no world-beater but he’s hardly dreadful. I don’t think Webber is so amazingly good that it’s a shocking decision. And I don’t think ennor is so incredible that Havili is lucky. Besides ennor is probably injured. As for finau he had an anonymous first half then showed up better against a tiring Aussie pack.

[Paekakboyz]

@voodoo he's also back up for 12

[kiwiinmelb]

maybe they are going to stack the bench with wingers like the fijians do

given us something to talk about

you read through the list and it's all good right up until 5 loosies, which is madness.

then the undeserving ginger

then 5 friggen wingers

and the fact they keep listing BB with the first fives when he is clearly no longer an option to be named there, and is in fact the fullback. They've taken two tens and 6 outside backs

[bayimports]

@mariner4life yeah unfortunately Foster keeping his Waikato jersey on under his AB coat

Dreadful is just the word to describe him. Or do you not actually watch him play?

[mariner4life]

they have gambled an awful lot on both Retallick being fit, AND Frizzell maintaining form.

Finau made 17 tackles in that game, carried well and showed himself to be a good line out option. He should have made the squad.

This!

Plus Dmac is quite likely the next cab off the rank at 15 if Beauden gets injured.

Very very strange squad. I cant believe they didn’t name an addition lock or loose forward (or both!)

[Dolamite]

Had 32 or 33. Thought they’d pick an extra loosie instead of an outside back

[Duluth]

Surprised they went for LF over another loosie

Not sure why people were mentioning Clarke. He was clearly in their plans having played 13 of the last 14 Test matches

Also thought Narawa might have been the unlucky one given the niggly injury

[Dan54]

I watched Retallick walking up on stage, and there was no sign of limp or anything, so maybe he's fit now? I know press has said he out for 4 weeks or whatever, but they work under a lot of guesswork anyway.

[TheMojoman]

Interesting is the squad makeup and who missed out.

[sparky]

Tamaiti Williams to play Number 8 against Namibia. You heard it here first.
