Shock and horror, many big names have been excluded from the All Black squad to play the 3N Test in South Africa.
Forwards: John Afoa, Wyatt Crockett, Ben Franks, Jarrad Hoeata , Andrew Hore, Jerome Kaino, Keven Mealamu, Liam Messam, Adam Thomson, Samuel Whitelock, Ali Williams, Tony Woodcock and Victor Vito.
Backs: Jimmy Cowan, Israel Dagg, Andy Ellis, Hosea Gear, Zac Guildford, Richard Kahui, Cory Jane, Ma’a Nonu, Colin Slade, Isaia Toeava, Piri Weepu and Sonny Bill Williams.
Left at home:
Richie McCaw, Owen Franks, Corey Flynn, Brad Thorn, Kieran Read, Dan Carter, Conrad Smith, Mils Muliaina and Sitiveni Sivivatu
Are these 9 players injured? Where are their sick notes?
The total disrespect that New Zealand are showing towards the 3N and SANZAR is sickening. How could they not send their strongest team? There are contractual obligations. What about the rugby loving South African supporters who have paid BIG money to watch the All Blacks play? Now they have to watch a 2nd string team? They should sue the NZRFU for the money that they paid.
Can anyone remember the shit that the Keeeeeeeeeee w eeeeeeeeeeeeee ‘s said about the injured Boks?
If they are actually injured, I hope that they don’t use the same medical team who cured the injured Boks.
Having said that, PDV’s Boks had better snot klap them.

I think this “second string” team is still a bloody good one. If we are not on our game, we good get a klap from them.
Now wouldn’t that be embarressing, imagine what that will do to our confidence.
The All Blacks have devalued their jersey by sending a second string team like this.

You really believe that?
They are not sendinga bunch of forwards with 160 caps of which 150 is from two players.
They aren’t sending out of form players in the back line.
Look at that potential backline
Weepu
Slade
SBW
Nonu
Dagg
Guidford
Corey Jane
That is a seriously dangerous backline.
@ biltongbek:
Did you not perhaps notice the humour and sarcasm in the posts?
@ Loosehead:
Sorry boet, it was early, I get up at 7 but I only wake up at 11.
Well….we’d better beat the “B” team, otherwise we will look like real dooses…unless of course some of our players become “injured” in the interim. its stupid to have a Tri Nations and 6 Nations in a world cup year we just end up with this bs and the public must fork out to go to the grounds.

Take 2 disprins and phone me in the morning.
