FF:NZ Official FF All Black Thread

Well the Super 12 is all over for us Kiwis so it's now looking forward on to more importnat things like the All Black season.
First big issue is who to select.

Any ideas?

I'll try come up with a squad and post it later.

Hmm sorry to change the subject but u guys have less than 1/10th of the posts of Qld , we have a lot of catching up to do, lol should be easy but, watch Qld's post rate sink like the Titanic now that I've abandoned it lol

Back on Topic

I'm having trouble deciding so hold your horses.

Ok here it is.

Forwards
1: Carl Hoeft
2: Anton Oliver (someone find me a decent hooker)
3: Carl Haymen
4: Royce Willis
5: Norm Maxwell
6: Troy Flavell
7: Scott Robertson
8: Deon Muir (Capt)

Backs
9: Byron Kelleher
10: Tony Brown
11: Jonah Lomu
12: Daryl Gibson
13: Tana Umaga
14: Brad Fleming
15: Christian Cullen

Reserves

Forwards
1- Kees Meeuws
2- Undecided
3- Paul Tito
4- Ron Cribb

Backs
1- Caleb Ralph
2- David Holwell
3- Daryl Liley
4- Paul Steinmetz

What a mission that was. I have a feeling this will be dramatically different to the selectors so we'll just wait and see.

Well that emans a whole lot to me

<doesn't follow Rugby lol>

Hang on what about a Star Wars rugby team lol
now come on Vader and Hutt as back rowers lol

I'll OK that list, although you know who I think should replace Tony brown in the #10 jersey....

Oh Really! The man who can't even play club rugby

ooooooo thats a low blow Swnz

The Trash Heap only speaks the truth.

I also Think Doug Howlett should be in there somewhere, maybe instead of Ralph. Good Ol' Blackadder can go back to being a family since he's been dropped completely with Anton Oliver now Captain.

Well here is the Squad:

Anton Oliver (Otago, captain),
Christian Cullen (Wellington),
Leon MacDonald (Canterbury),
Jonah Lomu (Wellington),
Doug Howlett (Auckland),
Jeff Wilson (Otago),
Roger Randle (Waikato),
Tana Umaga (Wellington),
Keith Lowen (Waikato),
Pita Alatini (Otago),
Mark Ranby (Waikato),
Andrew Mehrtens (Canterbury),
Tony Brown (Otago),
Justin Marshall (Canterbury),
Byron Kelleher (Otago),
Ron Cribb (North Harbour),
Jerry Collins (Wellington),
Scott Robertson (Canterbury),
Marty Holah (Waikato),
Reuben Thorne (Canterbury),
Taine Randell (Otago),
Troy Flavell (North Harbour),
Norm Maxwell (Canterbury),
Chris Jack (Canterbury),
Mark Cooksley (Waikato),
Carl Hoeft (Otago),
Carl Hayman (Otago),
Greg Somerville (Canterbury),
Gordon Slater (Wellington),
Mark Hammett (Canterbury).

now whats the deal giving Anton Oliver captaincy? I agree with dropping Toddy, but somethings just doesnt seem right.

Would have liked Deon Muir to be in the squad because I think he has great leadership skills. As for Anton I'm not sure either but who else is going to do it.

I spose theyre going with his experience.

Yeah I guess but he still can't throw a ball into the line out straight. What's with Wilson though, That I don't understand. Also Cooksley should be replaced with Royce Willis because he's too old now.

I just hope everyone is getting ready for the rugby right about now. Go the Blacks Woo, I'm hungry for some frog and maybe a tad peekish for some rooster!!!

I cant im to busy looking up goth stuff.

JP, Qld may have more posts but in NZ we like quality not quantity. Any old monkey with a keyboard could pop off a couple of hundred posts a day, but you'll notice on the NZ boards the posts are not only readible but they actually have some intellectual effort involved (excluding my own on occasion!) So I can't blame you for wanting to jump ship especially if your trying to better yourself! lol

We won we won we won woo hoo we won we won we won.

And the aussies got slapped as well!!!
