Wow I have to say,the selection for the All-blacks to face France is by no means a simple conundrum. Lets have a quick look...Ma'a Nonu has only recently come back from some injury LOL and he played the worst rugby in his entire career in the last couple of games,but still it was enough to earn him a starting spot(not to mention his injury and age)Rene Ranger must feel like a complete fool.One of the best line breakers second to Ben Smith is wearing the number 23 jersey.The better scrumy is also sitting on the bench.Aaron Smith wasn't near Ker-Barlow.In the forwards there are the lock combinations between Romano and Retalick...Hansen if this is what your taking to the future then buddy lets all place our bets now that the glimmer of what was is fading fast. My money is on the Frence to give the All-blacks a real scare here.I also do not rate Kieran Read as a captain.I think if anything its just because he "looks" like a good candidate.So far for the Saders there is reason to believe that this one trick pony is a dud. Disclaimer:For any wining,winging and bad report there is a filling section for that I like to call B-for-Bin

Yea It's a bit unfair on ol Rene he's done more than what has been asked of him while Non-u has been a slack arse. 

In general I would like to see us be out with the old now and maybe take a hit the next couple years, we have won everything on offer and set a bench mark for other teams to now match. Keeping these aging guys just makes the other lads look overseas and keeps the old guys from look overseas when they really should be looking to make hay with the time they have left.

mmm, normally id be like, Screw you WOlf MOFO, ya mother wears combat boots, ect bla, bla..but I almost agree I have my doubts about this team, very experimental a lot of the team looks out of form, Dagg, Nonu just for starters, Read is new to the AB leadership, but I would like to think he will grit his teeth and smash his way into the test and lead by example more than a well appointed speech under the posts.

"I would like to think he will grit his teeth and smash his way into the test and lead by example"

You are talking about Read here papa moaner - the word smash is not by any stretch of the imagination appropriate.

There is no such things as a weak All Black team. There is always someone who steps up when another gets injured. AB and the newer guys will be the hungrier side I think. Think it will be a slaughter. French are going nowhere in rugby. They already coached french flair out of their players,
