Frugby was right months ago when he said Razor would eventually lessen Crusaders bias, just needed time thank you for service Blackadder and Havili but it's been time

KiwiMurph

Pleased with some of the changes

There's some exciting talent waiting in the wings too either right on the fringe or injured

That's not a bad squad. Maybe Razor isn't the homer we thought he was. Kudos to him so far

Back row still feels undersized for me.

reprobate

@DMX well it's actually got smaller hasn't it?

Yes, I would agree.

Robertson is selecting them in his own image.

Needs to get Kaino into camp to show these guys how to properly hit rucks and make dominant tackles

A pot belly on a professional athlete would generally be considered an indicator of lack of conditioning.

Lack of conditioning is generally an indicator that an athlete doesn't take their preparation seriously and lacks professionalism.

Some coaches of elite teams don't like to have players like that on their teams.

He definitely doesn't lack professionalism. the most respected respected player by his peers at the landers, played all bar 15 minutes this season. Lead the round robin in defenders beaten & turnover won. If Razor needs him to lose 3kgs over the next month I'm sure he would accept such a challenge

He did that last year too. Most defenders beaten and turnovers won. He wasn't even called in to the AB XV.

a True bolter then

Well, at least he is still somewhat elusive....

DMX

Makes me think he sees Ardie as a 7 and Kirifi as a like for like replacement.

Showed good speed, so Razor decided to select

Jet

Will Jordan is going to have to score a hell of a lot of tries to make up for Clarke and Reece’s profligacy at international level.

That is my hope (and what I reckon).
My worry is that he sees Ardie as 8, Kirifi as 7 and Sititi as 6.

brodean

@reprobate

That would be very concerning.
