AB's squad vs Ireland
So, who's keen to make some predictions?
My predictions. I haven't really watched a lot of rugby. Ben Franks Owen Franks Wyatt Crockett Tony Woodcock Kevin Mealamu Hika Elliot Andrew Hore/Dane Coles Sam Whitelock Ali Williams ? Lock Jarrad Hoeata Matt Todd Keiran Read Richie McCaw Victor Vito Adam Thomson Andy Ellis Aaron Smith Piri Weepu Dan Carter Aaron Cruden Ma'a Nonu Richard Kahui Robbie Fruean Conrad Smith Cory Jane Hosea Gear Andre Taylor Israel Dagg Lelia Masaga Can't really think of someone to replace Kaino at 6, unless they get one of our 7's to play there. No place at all for SBW, don't see the point in putting him in the squad when he's leaving. We have plenty of capable backs who are loyal. I think Guilford is a choker.

I would pick SBW on form.
I'd like to see Charlie Faumuina & Messam in the squad. Would replace Ali Williams with maybe Tom Donnelly or Brodie Retallick.

Does SBW actually do much or just play for the high flying chiefs? I've watched the last two games of the Chiefs, hunting out SBW because I want to pick apart his game. But he just doesn't really seem to feature.
Whatever our backline ends up being, it's going to be exciting...

Be funny if Cruden plays at 10 and Carter at 12 and SBW and Nonu both miss out on a starting spot

I'd love to see Hansen give some young bolters game time...otherwise we are going to be SA RWC 2011...tired old men

Well he has definitely picked some bolters to get involved with the squad. Think Taylor is the most unlucky to miss out, but seems to be the least mentioned.
Blues Charlie Faumuina, Ma'a Nonu, Keven Mealamu, Piri Weepu, Ali Williams and Tony Woodcock. Chiefs Sam Cane, Aaron Cruden, Richard Kahui, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Brodie Retallick, Ben Tameifuna and Sonny Bill Williams. Hurricanes Beauden Barrett, Cory Jane, Julian Savea, Brad Shields, Conrad Smith and Victor Vito. Crusaders Daniel Carter, Wyatt Crockett, Israel Dagg, Andy Ellis, Ben Franks, Owen Franks, Richie McCaw, Kieran Read, Luke Romano, Luke Whitelock and Samuel Whitelock. Highlanders Tamati Ellison, Andrew Hore, Aaron Smith, Ben Smith and Adam Thomson.

Zac Guilford (sp?) has been smokin' in the super rugby games I've seen.

With the exception of Kev Mealamu, not one of those Auckland players deserves to be in the squad.

Training injury?
I'd like to see Weepu/Cruden start the 3rd test. |

What has Weepu done to deserve it?

Granted I was surprised at his selection, but having been selected i'd like to see him get a fair run.

Fark. Hard luck Ireland, you guys played well. Unlucky not to at least get a draw.
I thought when Wepu came on he kept a cool head, took control and got us back on track.

We lacked intensity and focus..plus the ref ignored the Irish cheating all night laying all over the ball slowing it down

Ali Williams needs to chillax a bit more. Weepu on the bench for when he plays best for the ABs, during 'oh shit panic stations' times. |
