Wellington/Hurricanes Last In Line

Michael from Trentham

The head of selectors for the All Blacks be it right now or the next off the cab (from 2024) are seemingly going to continue to ignore the credentials of Wellington Lions and Hurricanes players. No matter that we won the 2022 provincial champs and are holders of the Ranfurly Shield and just might go on to win the Super Pacific Comp from currently lying second on the table.

Foster casts his eyes firstly over Waikato and The Chiefs and Razor Robertson is so firmly set in the Crusaders grip he may never quite emerge out of it when it comes down to selections for his AB teams.

A couple of weeks ago, a notable media guy and Canterbury faithful was asked by Sky's Breakdown panel to name his ABs side after 3-4 weeks of Comp. That guy went on to name almost the entire Crusaders team who have several ABs on the injury list who have not fronted so far this year and he included a guy who has played just one game for the Crusaders and managed to name Ardie Savea with a note that he hadn't played up to his best a few days earlier but just had to include him at No 8.
Well if Scot Robertson is a close associate of this fellow, it is going to be extra tough going here in the capital.
