Time to get this started, squad gets named tonight.

 

Sounds like Dagg and Piutau are getting left out for Naholo, and 3rd halfback in TKB.

 

In other news, Wales beat Ireland 16-10 today. Always pegged Ireland as a team to upset a big name. We'll see.

Same BS thats been going on for a while. Jake White the coach that lead them to the 2007 world cup win got booted to bring in De Villiers who was nothing more than a face to show off to the publ

Does not surprise me one bit with dagg being left out after the way that dagg played in the test against Samoa . Since dagg is past his use by date . Looking forward tonight with the squad being named hope that Jane gets in plus the all blacks need someone funny for off the field stuff

Ireland be the dark horse Wookie? They'll be strong at home

Ben Smith owns that No 15 imo. Just take two halfbacks we'll be sweet.

Feel sorry for Lima, I dont know why DC is going.

Because all black teams aren't picked on super rugby form. Then everyone gets all up in arms when players like piatau piss off overseas.

I'm not sure what more Lima could have done he was the form five eight of super rugby by a mile then had a great game at Ellis park in Sth Africa. Dan carter was in his prime 10 years ago, it's not 2005 anymore. Dan carter is made of glass anyway he will more than likley get injuried. For me sbw is the luckiest player to be picked he's played average as. Glad Jane didn't make it.

You gotta do something to get in, being picked on past merits just isn't good enough for me. I'm hearing people bring up hoe these players went in 2011 Rwc and how great they were then... That was 4 years ago! But we all have diff opinions. It's been picked now and I'll get behind them all.

I feel for Jane not being in the world cup squad oh well. At least that I will be able to watch Jane play for the Lions on the 17th. When I watch the Lions play Otago

No way he has had no rugby and piatau much better player. If piatau wasn't going overseas next year I bet he woulda been in. So much fuss over that but sbw does it and no one cares. Double standards.

Jane is just a muppet, some people shouldn't social media.

I think at some point Lima will cruize over. Just a hunch.

Of course DC should be in the team - Lima will have his day but he needs more All Black game time. Yes he has played well when given the chance but a World Cup is a totally different beast you don't get a second chance.

SBW more versatile than Crotty so gets the nod.

Piatu should be in the team instead of Waisake Naholo. Coming back from injury - how is his fitness? Players often take several games to get their confidence back after a break! He played 60 minutes against a weak argentina team at home - not proven yet.

Been wondering about that as well which type of fijan medicane was used.must be some secret medical thing

No

I broke same bone super minor same deal and no matter if they put a herbal remedy or hgh or alien medicine or nuclear waste or any other thing on it i would not feel sweet after 4 days. Not even 4 weeks and still sore after 4 months lol

I reckon wasnt broken in first place or something dunno didnt follow closely but break doesnt heal in 4 days no matter what and if it did you wouldnt want to play rugby for months.

True about carter playing shit against Samoa. Given that carter didn't play any rugby for a few weeks since the crusaders didn't make the playoffs and the same for the other all blacks who were in the side for the test against Samoa

For DC to be have been replaced this year someone needed to be playing head and shoulders above him.

Its a bit like Richie McCaw, most would agree Sam Cane played better than him in the Super Rugby this year but he was never going to get replaced for the All Blacks.

Remember DC played FA at 1st 5 for the crusaders and when they put him back in that position that is when the team started to win again and to be fair they were probably the in form team at the back end of the season.
