lol. I am deeply hurt that you do not agree with my opinions because you are a very astute judge of the game. I especially value your thoughts on Rugby League. They are very insightful.

:? ....

Yah it does suck that Weepu is not in the squad. He's one of my favourites. I like Kellerher though.

This will probably push him to league. :) And Nonu hopefully.

Weepu is average as. He will go good for the Knights though.

How the fuck does Laukai make it in and Weepu and/or Nonu dont?


They all play totally different positions.

But yeah Nonu had to force either Conrad Smith or Toeava out of a position to get in. He's played crap the last two seasons and can't tackle, so he missed out. And Weepu just got leapfrogged after being demoted to third halfback in the Tri-Nations. They must've felt Ellis brings something different to the table,Weepu's style of play isn't too dissimilar to Kelleher's.

I figured Kelleher's shocking game last night would have all but confirmed Weepu in the squad.....

It was probably all his talking up of going to League. Bloody spiteful selectors.

So is McAllister going overseas or what?

At the end of the announcement Jock says 1 additional player will be named before August 14. HOPEFULLY it's Ma'a Nonu.

It's not. It's either Greg Sommerville or John Schwalger.

Oops :oops: Though poor me I don't get to watch it over here :(

Squad announcement is alright. I think Rico Gear is another one who probably doesn't deserve to miss out. But the same for the other three wingers, so it probably came down to who was the best three, not who was the worst one.

The squad looks pretty good, seriously cant believe Reuben Thorne was picked over Flavell... I mean he puts "Patrick Swayze" to shame.

I think picking Lauaki is a smart decision, the All Blacks need someone like him.

And Nonu..... well he can have a next.

So Weepu wasn't picked cos he was out of form, despite barely getting game time to established form and the coaches saying all year they wanted players peaking in September? So what's to say Weepu won't be at his best then?

Could be injuries anyway and players get called up.....

I find it more rediculous that Andy Ellis is the replacement. I can see why the decision was made, I think Weepu is crap. Why Ellis though? There is no big deal to him at all. Jimmy Cowan is the unluckiest player of all to not make the squad. The only player that may be unluckier is Josh Blackie.

A big problem I see with the All Blacks is that they have both Rodney and Jerry starting in what they call their best team. That means McCaw has to do all the work at the breakdown, because they are too slow to get there. Even if it was on the bench, the All Blacks need that other quick flanker, but instead they bring in Lauaki. At times he is devastating and i'm a huge Waikato/Chiefs fan, but what a stupid decision. Lauaki makes some of the most idiotic mistakes i've ever seen and when he has a bad game, he really has a horrible game.

This is bullshit.

Weepu > Leonard and Ellis

Weepu should be there. Nonu is a marginal call. I love him as a player but hasn't shown much to justify his selection.

Why Ellis is there, I shall never know.

Flavell > Thorne.

Yeah Leonard has shown flashes of brilliance coming off the bench, he's done enough to leapfrog Weepu.

Nonu was only ever getting in if Conrad Smith went down. Even then I would've preferred Rico Gear at centre.

My mate brought that up today and I hadn't even thought of Gear playing at centre. I think it would be brilliant, at least he has had game time, unlike Smith. I think throwing Smith and Ellis straight into the World Cup is insane.

Nah it's not too crazy-Ellis and Smith will only be playing pool matches (Italy, Scotland, Portugal and Romania) unless there's injuries.

Wait...that's our pool? Dunno wtf I read the other day, but these choices make more sense now. So that will be the same for Lauaki and Thorne too, well that's alright then. They can have their little moment of fame against f-grade teams...alright maybe Scotland are d-grade.

Italy will give us a little bit of a workout in the forwards at least, they have a very strong pack now. But their backs are absolute rubbish aside from Mirco Bergamasco so we will win on the scoreboard comfortably.
