I really dont understand why they didnt try Leicester at 12 and keep Tupaea at 13 on this end of year tour. Instead they swapped them around.

I really like what I've seen from Higgins so hopefully he can stay fit and put himself in the frame - would be a good way to manage Jordie's minutes at the Canes too by giving Riley time at 12.

One of those Canes needs to move. Like Jacomb at the Chiefs. Proctor, Higgins, Barrett all need to be starting for the good of NZ rugby.

Trust me, all 3 will get injured and we will end up with Riley Hohepa and Ngane Punivai in the midfield somehow. And all 4 10s will be injured and Orbyn Leger will be brought back to play 10.

Mo'unga scored a brilliant try, prove me wrong.

Except you, Wayne Barnes.

Oh ok yeah you're spot on. GCT and Boshier going overseas are the nails in Foster's coffin,

Wow. That''s not what I said, man. On the smelling salts again?

Are you jailbreak?

nope but you replied to me.

Because you weirdly replied to my reply to him, and I stand by my reply to him.

I thought this was a forum.

Happy for you to fill me in on how GCT and Boshier would have saved us from our catastrophic year this year though.

My point was it is not a fair comparision because there isn't the depth there this year (and actually Josh Blackie, if that is who you mean, was a gold medalist and Junior AB so could play a bit. GCT I'd argue, has been a solid player for the blues even if currently ineligible, I don't think that was a crazy suggestion, it is not as if Patty T suddenly became lethargic in tests when he started).
My second point is if you move the goalposts there won't be a fair discussion. I'm guessing @Jailbreak7 was saying other players should have been tried, and those going overseas were probably let down a tad early.
But you appear to be conflating and extrapolating wildly, focusing on just two of the points @Jailbreak7 made, not the entire post (application, muscle, inventiveness, succession plan, strategically unprepared for NH coaching/experience)...
Yup, you boiled all that down to GCT and Boshier. He/she said that but a helluva lot more.
Since you only want a personal to and fro with a "weird" fragment of @Jailbreak7 posts I'll leave you to your strawman solipsism.
My point, I see, was made by @MN5 but with more subtlety. Kudos.

I am not sure I have ever read the word 'solipsism' on the Fern before.

I’m even more surprised a point I made was described as “subtle”

I've got you on ignore so must have missed what that point was. Even more subtle.

Got me on ignore and then quotes me.

Yeah that’s real choice internetting there bro.

Sorry missed that, got you on ignore.

Is that the Fern record for a thread necro?

Not his first year in SR but I think Alaimalo will be the Chiefs superstar.
