All Blacks 2024

[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.

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.

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

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

He stopped at the QF quarterfinals for obvious reasons

[Kiwidom]

@sparky Having only 3 locks named is crazy

The buffet has had his attention. Fat fluffybunny.

I haven't seen the squad yet. But judging on early comments I'd say Razor is already on the clock with the Fern

and they're possibly not all 100% match fit...

No Ruben Love. Perofeta ahead of Plummer.

A number of very odd selections in the forwards.

[Winger]

7 Crusaders. And the Captain

It's basically 4 with Darry. If something happens to one Darry comes in.

[No Quarter]

Blackadder shouldn't be there, always injured and who knows if he'll come back from the latest one in good form. That and Bell are the obvious bias selections in this squad.

[ACT Crusader]

I haven’t weighed into the Love love, but I can’t say that I’m surprised by that one. He seems like a poor man’s DMac but even more erratic.

[Tim]

@Bones it shit the bed then went to the sky morons

[Kirwan]

Blackadder, Bell, Sititi, Perofeta, Vaai are the worst picks IMO. Each one has a better option.

[nostrildamus]

looks to me like Ryan is a more adventurous selector than the backs coaches..

Only 7? Where’s that pitchfork

It's not adventurous to ignore the best pack in the comp.
