AB RWC Squad

[sparky]

Delighted for Cam Roigard.

[ACT Crusader]

@Windows97 the 6 props is prudent and the right call.

I would’ve carried another lock with Retallick out early and a one less outside back.

[canefan]

I see Webber is being taken along as one of three out of squad players. Get him to room with Christie....

[KiwiMurph]

Apparently Finau, Webber and George Bell are going to join ABs for training for South Africa game. Aumua is out for a couple of months.

Foster alluded Finau might play

[Stargazer]

@canefan Where do you "see" that?

[Dan54]

Wonder if they will try and get a quick contract with a French club for Finau etc? But there is time between games to fly players over anyway I think.

[Dan54]

Pleased for young Bell too.

[nostrildamus]

Cane has had a few injuries as well, not many loosies.

[Stargazer]

Ah, okay, it's in this Stuff article:

The All Blacks will play their final pre-tournament game against South Africa in London on August 26. Three players will travel as additional cover. They are hooker George Bell, Finau and Weber.

Read it online? Is that a failed attempt to be pedantic?

Improved version, still spelling Laulala's name wrong.

Jeff Wilson does talk shit. ‘They’ve gone for experience.”

Some of those guys have one cap.

Jeff Wilson the NZRFU bootlicking careerist.

Always good for a couple of stupid cliches said with great intensity and conviction.

[sparky]

Liam ‘great sauces’ Napier confirms that Samipeni Finau and Brad Weber were the two who were most unlucky to miss out.

He's still young.

[Yeahtheboys]

Thank god we have replacements in case 4 wingers go down

[mikey07]

My 2 cents how is Clarke in there he’s a defensive liability and lazy, what made me turn on him was that game at Eden Park against the Crusaders and he was chasing down Leicester and gave up.
