I made the decision that Ardie Savea is going to be a 7 for my squad, so that meant I could go with another 8 so I picked Sititi, but understand your point. Perofeta over Love was a difficult choice but would happily have love selected as hes played well for the canes this season.

@@rugbyitch that might be the case with Savea, but then Iose is next in line. Not a rookie who is playing his first real year, especially in the first squad, might get in the 36 for the rugby championship. It's not a tough choice though, Love is better than Perofeta and his form thea last two years is miles better, he can also cover 10

@@rubendutoit586 At the end of the day I would still pick Wallace Sititi over Iose, and even Lakai over Lose as well. In terms of perofeta he has been better than Love in the previous years but this year love has been the better player so that’s why it was a tough choice.

@@rugbyitch that's fair, it's your opinion Iose has been in top form for two seasons now, Sititi has been in top form for 3 or 4 weeks, he needs time. I honestly don't think Perofeta is anywhere near the player what Love is. I do however prefer him over Stevenson

@@rubendutoit586 fairs, respect your opinion 👍

Appreciate it, agree that some players can be moved in and out, particularity the fullback position as there are many to choose from!

Fairs, good point, I would not be opposed to any of the options you have listed, all have had good seasons 👍

Jacobson under razors mentor would be epic

Fair choices, can see all of them doing well for the ABs

Yep I would do exactly the same with Tuipulotu and Jacobson (has been an absolute rock since moving to 7) embut also have both Love and Stevenson and drop a winger.

I do like Folau Fakatava a lot but feel he needs one more season, same with Funaki. In terms of Christie, I agree he maybe more suited to SR but also feel hes the best passer and box kicker out the scrum-halfs I've selected, which is good as I want some differences.

Fair shout, Plummer has had his best season for the Blues so would be to cool to see him rewarded. In terms of BB, agreed that he's more of a 15 now than a 10 but he can certainly do the job at 10 if needed.

Plumber is mid. Good off the boot but gets lost in the flow of the game sometimes.

Fairs, get your point with Perenara but Aumua I don't think has done enough this year to get selected, I agree that he has a similar profile to Laumape but I would choose Quinn Tupaea over him. (Also was gutted that Laumape didn't get more opportunities in a ABs jersey 😢)

Aumua at centre unfortunately is too slow on defence , his main asset of being a ball crasher is negated by his defence , for every score he tries , he leaks 3 to the opposing team

Aumua struggled to get a starting spot for Crusaders at the backend of the season. He won't get selected.

Fairs, I actually agree with you overall as this is the start of a new cycle and Razor should be developing more depth for the future but I also do think there are some players who have not been able to reach their potential in the ABs and I believe Razor can get the best out of Blackadder.

Appreciate it , Isaia Walker-Leawere done well this season, has that x-factor quality but his discipline lets him down so that why I went with Darry over him, again tough decision as IWL is pretty good. Also agree that Finau can be used within the lineouts, he's been good for the Chiefs.

They’ll need size at lock to compensate for a smaller loosies, and leawere have the sizes to complement scott at lock. Adding weight to the scrum pack

Finau will stay in as one of the loosie selections. There will probably be 4 proper locks selected as they need them for training purposes same with having 3 Loosies on each side.

Thanks 😂

Nice team, surprised to see no Ardie in your lineup as well as Dmac on the bench but overall solid lineup 👍

So you leave the best player in the world out of the team altogether, glad your not a selector 😂

@@rugbyitch Savea is playing overseas! If he wants to play for the ABs - like everyone else play rugby in NZ!!!! As for MacKenzie - you could start him at 10! I use to have a massive problem with MacKenzie 1) He is not a 10 because he could not drive a team around the park especially at test level. In 2024 there seems to be better game control from him but remember his first instinct is to run 2) If the ABs play him at 15 well we know what the Boks are going to do - bomb every moment they can because he is short

@@tomjones9097 Yeah who is the best player in the world?

@@thefobbie0034 keep up to date, savea went on sabbatical same reason as B barrett who you just selected in your team

Haha, even now I’m second guessing my choice. My thinking behind Perofeta was purely on the basis that if Dmac were to play at 10 Beauden at 15 he can cover both positions off the bench but at the same time Jordie can cover both as well so maybe a player like Quinn Tupaea would be better as he can play both centers spots and 14 if needed

​@@rugbyitchyou need another fullback. 2 actual fullbacks and 2 actual fly halves. You will need them for training purposes, enough players of every position for two teams.

IWL is a solid pick but with Tuipulotu now officially back in time for the SRP final he would 100% get in now, although you still can go with him as the 4th option but I prefer Darry over him

​@@rugbyitchTuipulotu and Walker-Leawere are similar playing styles and builds. Darry offers extra height in the kineouts.

Ratima has been in great form and has had 2 solid seasons for the Chiefs.😊

Good shout, he has really stepped up for the Blues this year but I still have a bit of uncertainty over him, again would be great to see him in a ABs jersey coming from a Blues fan 😅

@@rugbyitch I’m a canes fan but can 100% say that Harry Plummer has been my favourite player to watch this season. Although the uncertainty looms I believe if given the chance with the team he has around him which if not better than the blues will be close to. He can do a good job. Plus will be about 30 when the next World Cup comes around

Fairs, definitely has a good chance in being selected, just feel Wallace Sititi offers that X factor quality 🙌

Great shout, Cullen grace would be a good addition and cover 6 and 8 so offers versatility which is nice to have.

@@rugbyitch been knocking for a couple seasons too- and a 'sader

Also can't wait for international rugby to be back! 🔥

15 tests this year- I'll be happy if we win 11, gotta keep bled though- that's non-negotiable.

Fairs, he's been great for the Hurricanes this year, would not be surprised if he gets selected 👍

But he won't start for ABS😂

He's been pretty good for the canes this year and has the experience, so feel his selection would be justified

But he'll make AB's he was one of super rugby's top scrum halves he's in the top 5

Nice selection 👍

Nice, good balance 🤝

Good list, very respectable 🤝

Nice 😅

Name fits

How the hell can you have Blackadder 2 he hasn't played much for two years the best ability is availability

@@philliproberts7294 doesn’t matter, he’s still one of the best in the country

Thanks man 🙌

Fair enough, could be best for both then.

100% agree, can impact game just like Dupont

Good question, he has been injured for long periods within the season but yes I still see Razor selecting him.

Connor McGregor: WHO DAH FOLKS IS DIS GUAY HAH!!!!!!!
