All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I
-
With over 50 games in the MF for Ta$man and Toulon Leicester Fai'anganuku has played, he has enough experience in that position to be tried there for the ABs.
If the criteria is but not at international Level then no new players can ever gets selected for the ABs as they have never played there.@Chris The issue is him being fast-tracked back in to play a position he hasn't played at test level - if that's what's actually happening - not that he hasn't played in the midfield at lower levels. The NPC is quite a step down even from Super Rugby and reports of his recent time in France have been mixed.

No leaks on social media as of yet. Perhaps those types of pages were spying on the fern

Well the nice thing about that is that whoever was doing it can read us telling them to go and fuck themselves.

@Landers92 Over the years there's been various media people who have posted here and confirmed that quite a few other media people are lurkers.
Not sure if there still are, but it's not surprising - there's not many other places you can get hot oil about who headbutted Razor.... or take the pulse of the nation!

Ta$man? Well fuck, we've unearthed the next McCaw - pluck him straight out of the NPC and watch him dominate! Except for on defence as his stats showed at Toulon.

Demonstrate competency at SR level. He has no body of work against his peers justifying selection.

Is this the page that usually puts the team up ?

Jeez was Carisbrook 2001 really the last time the Wallabies great the ABs in NZ?
Another record for Razor to create....

No, would rather keep the powder dry for the Scots inaugural victory in November.

Can they man up and start calling for Savea and Barrett to be dropped?

The worst part about it is the guy behind the Myth of Dmac page tells everyone on his page those leaks are his. Yet would post leaked teams not long after yourself has posted them in here.
What a shame.

Big bros form fell off a cliff and he was jettisoned quick smart for Ioane if memory serves. No fucking around from Hansen.
If he was just a bit younger he’d have racked up 100 tests as well.

Burned in my memory is a test balance of 3-8 from that era.
Australia hosted the Olympics - invested massively in sport (...and probably PEDs...he said darkly)
- and beat the shit out of us at everything.It was an awful time!

Jamie Wall has said Leicester has had his eligibility rushed thru so if correct he must be in 23 , my understanding was that he would only be made available if injury to our midfield and wings was severe.
They 'rushed through' Fainga'anuku's eligibility weeks ago when they first brought him into the squad. He's been eligible to play for the All Blacks ever since then.
The All Blacks eligibility laws have always been fluid and he was always going to be able to be brought into the squad if Razor pushed for it hard enough. Evidently he and NZR compromised.
It will be exactly the same when Mo'unga returns to NZ. NZR have said he's not eligible immediately upon his return. If need be, however, he will become eligible.
I really dislike this. Bending the rules for a guy who has never even really been a first choice AB, when we don't have any midfield injuries, plenty of wingers available, and he hasn't even played a Super game since returning.
Encouraging guys to go overseas and come back for the WC, or letting them fast-track back in because a coach likes them - it cheapens everything, shits on those who have stayed, and is inarguably to our long-term detriment.
I'd be hard against it for a Carter or McCaw. For these haven't-beens, it can fuck all the way off.
Completely agree but also feel conflicted because those that stayed here dont deserve their place either. Its not like he is knocking Conrad Smith out of the squad.
Rieko, ALB, Proctor.......all crap.
They're not that crap though, not really.
Rieko was good in the last WC, Proctor has had a great Super season, and ALB is a long-term AB - he may be past his best, but he's not actually a terrible footy player.
My point being that none of them are as bad as they are being made to look in our backline - which suggest the problem is not whoever plays at centre - and that means parachuting in Leicester solves fuck-all.@reprobate said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I:

That is one of our major competitive advantages over other countries we have (yet don’t utilise it).
Even though they’ve been mediocre recently… Rieko, ALB and Proctor would benefit massively from having a big, direct ball-carrier inside them.
Other teams don’t fear our midfield and will gladly run the blitz defense, as nobody in our midfield can break the defensive line or even the first tackle.
