who would be in ur form AB team???

 For a start you can' t go past Sam Whitelock starting with Retallick and I would swap BB and Cruden around.Not sold on D Mackenzie I would definitly have Ben from accounts ahead of him

 1. Joe Moody 2. Dane Coles 3. Owen Franks 4. Sam Whitelock 5. Brodie Retalluck 6. Jerome Kaino 7. Ardie Savea 8. Kieran Read 9. TJ Peranara 10. Beuadan Barrett 11. Julian Savea 12. Ngani Luamape 13. A Leinart Brown 14. Vince Aso 15. B Smith
16. Codie Taylor 17. J Toomaga allen 18. Kane Hames 19. Dominick Bird 20. Brad Shields 21. A Smith 22. A Cruden 23. M Fekitoa
Simply based on current form. 

 Naru bruddah you make some bold calls there !

 
Common Wardad ... put up your team.

Can't recall you ever contributing one ... how come??

Oh and no peeking at the above lot ... kapish??

 Wheres yours ? Mine is mostly over at foxsport ,go have a look .Catfish ?

 
Yeah right!!!!

Of course it is.

Haaaaaaaaahahahahahaaa!!!

 No one actually gives a sh!t what you think ,especially when talking to someone else .Dont recall you putting up too many teams eh ?

 Naru would you really put Cruds ahead of wee Beauden Barrett ?Whetu Douglas looks good but its a big jump to that black jersey eh ?As I have said before Jaws and Whitelock are our best locking pair bar none .

My team would be the following:-
 1. Joe Moody 2. Dane Coles 3. Owen Franks 4. Sam Whitelock 5. Brodie Retalluck 6. Jerome Kaino 7. Ardie Savea 8. Kieran Read 9. Aaron Smith, 10. Beaudan Barrett 11. Julian Savea 12. George Moala 13. M Fekitoa, 14. Vince Aso 15. B Smith
16. Codie Taylor 17. J Toomaga allen 18. Kane Hames 19. Dominick Bird 20. Sam Cane,  21. TJ Perenara, 22. A Cruden 23. N Laumape
Laumape is only in if a number of players are not returning after injury.   In that list I include quite a few players like Milner-Skudder, Dagg, etc.

 Guys, please note the title of this thread is "form All Blacks...", that's is different from who we actually think will be named as All Blacks. On that basis Cruden should be selected ahead of Barrett, etc.

 OK - Noted

@crusadersfan,

as dr win pointed out, the key word here is form. it goes without saying that whitelock would make my and imo hansens starting All Blacks XV, but from visual analysis and the stats, u cant say that whitelock has played better than a number of other locks like fatialofa, big bird and barret.
the only way u could say that whitelock has played better than those peeps is if ur a crusaders fan, which ur username literally is, so no worries,

@lucky luke,

long time no see buddy, but how can read be in ur form team, if read hasnt even played a game???

@warhammer,
" Naru bruddah you make some bold calls there !"
well i have a noble spirit, and they say at springfield, a noble spirit embiggens the smallest man,

"Naru would you really put Cruds ahead of wee Beauden Barrett ?Whetu Douglas looks good but its a big jump to that black jersey eh ?As I have said before Jaws and Whitelock are our best locking pair bar none ."
no way would i put crudz ahead of the wordls best rugby player, but if barret suffered an injury, i wouldnt bat an eye knowing crudz would be there to step up to the plate,

douglas is remiding me a lot of luatua, its safe to say after the whole luatua/hansen dramas he wont be playing for the ABs anymore.
it would be a big leap for douglas, but i dont think he will get a shot, especially with all the list we have on the fringe AB list, but stranger things have happened.

speaking of stranger things, can wait for season 2,

 
Getting a little hot under the collar I see. You certainly are prone to emotional outbursts, aren't you?!!

It's not my fault that you've never posted a team on this site. It's not my fault that your only contribution on here is to stick it to "BeanDork" at every opportunity ... that and criticise folks for things you yourself aren't able to deal with.

Just another loud mouth ... obese ... with a fondness for pies ... and sheep ... especially with the "hands-on" approach.

Go get yourself a pair of takkies you fat fcuk.





 

 Naru what about guys like Nonu who was average in the super format and grow to ginormous sizes in the Black jersey ? White lock and a few of the old hands seem to be that way at times eh ?I have posted teams on here ,but be farked if I would do anything on your say so .Wanna tell me why you keep attacking Mozart then ? Especially seeing as how he never initiated anything with you ?You think you have a big personality but your problem is too many of 'em old fella ,as for being fat my actual friends on here know otherwise but it seems to be more your problem eh ? Maybe you should stick to daydreaming about poking black dudes ?.Last time I bother with your crap so keep it to yourself theres a good wee chap.

 
Oh shame. You getting all tearful now, Porks?

Off on a lengthy sulk are we?

Haaaaaaahahahahaaaa!!!

Watch the blood pressure, Fats. Wouldn't want you to do yourself an injury!
