Watching the Highlanders well-drilled attack it almost hurts my brain to think that bold, innovative, creative coaches in their prime like Tony Brown and Jamie Joseph are NOT coaching the national team.
Instead we have gravy training, coattails riding Ian "50% is fine" fucking Foster.
His first side of the season will be:
1. Joe Moody ("That's the usual choice isn't it? I don't know anyone else who plays this postion actually")
2. Codie Taylor
3. "Some big island lad"
4. Scrote Barrett
5. Sam Whitelock
6. Crossword Frizzle ("He's a regular now!")
7. "Tenured captain Sam Cane is injured and I haven't watched any other players this season so I'll give Richie a bell, he probably still has his boots"
8. Ardie Savea
9. Aaron Smith
10. Richie Mo’unga
11. "George Bridge is fit again so slots right back in. Just like I was rewarded for my unremarkable company man loyalty, you have to completely play your way out of my All Blacks team."
12. Jack Goodhue ("Done nothing all season? Don't care.")
13. Anton Lienert-Brown ("Almost ditto".)
14. Jordie Barrett. ("Of course we're going to persist with Jordie on the wing. Why on earth wouldn't we?")
15. Beauden Barrett. ("Zero linebreaks all year? Are you sure? Oh well, nevermind. Isn't it unique we have THREE brothers starting for the All Blacks! What a shot seeing them standing alongside each other during the national anthem. Great stuff")
