Darry in the camp

George Bell ... Could be a worse AB than Philpott and Forster combined.

Nah. He’s only got to live up to Aled De Malmache and he’s all sweet.

He won’t play unless there is injury and he’s been in the environment before. A serious case of second year blues though this season.

Scott Barrett widely predicted as captain, but still feels like an interesting choice given his card history. Let's hope it works out.

[Machpants]

Razor nervous as fuck

Barrett Captain, no surprise,

Goes for his pal, disappointing. Feel sorry for Ardie.

[nostrildamus]

Plummer is unlucky IMO, wonder if they'd still pick Perofeta if more 15s were available.

[sparky]

There are three or four shockers in there.

[No Quarter]

That's really tough on Hoskins, he was huge for the Blues who won the comp. Sititi is a real talent and has AB written all over him, but it feels a bit soon for him.

[MN5]

Is that seriously only THREE Blues forwards ? Fuck me, whilst some of the celebrations on here have been slightly over the top after Saturday that is a ridiculous turn out…..

[nostrildamus]

Hope Hoskins doesn't go to England.

Should have been in the squad. Only three Blues forwards is pathetic.

If he does he would absolutely transform England

What rugby has Jason Ryan been watching the last few months?

Razor avoiding more PTSD for Chiefs fans by leaving out most Blues forwards...

[No Quarter]

They must back themselves to get the best out of Perofeta. He's got the talent and his utility of 10/15 makes him a valuable squad member, but he's been very flaky mentally to date.

He'll be playing soon, there's 3 games one weekends in a row, so bladder won't make that

[nzzp]

Razor better win.

[antipodean]

What did the selectors see in Perofeta this season?
What did the selectors not see in the best #8 (Sotutu) this season?
Is Bell that hooker from Canterbury that couldn't hit a barn?
Who comes in for the perennially injured Blackadder?

[akan004]

Vaii ahead of Darry is a ridiculous selection

He stopped at the QF quarterfinals for obvious reasons
