Also, will my youth players change in weight and/or as they grow older?

I have a few questions: 1.So far with a few teams, I have not managed to play any games at all before something has happened (such as me quitting without saving or the game crashing at the April 2015 point). Is this supposed to be how it is, with a whole season without any games first? 2.Why...

Okey dokey. I wasn't quite sure, as I've been doing things while watching the game so have missed a few details. Carry on, then!

You mean the try when Mo'unga passed it back inside to Tevita Li? I don't think it was forward - the ball traveled forward slightly, but the pass itself went backwards from Mo'unga's hands, from what I could see.

I dunno what the rule is about these things, so I won't post the link, but the game is on youtube if you search for it.

I haven't seen too much of Fukofuka, either. I have heard good things about him, though. Hopefully he gets a fair bit of game time off the bench against Scotland, tomorrow. It will also be interesting to see how Fa'aso'o goes for Samoa at blindside flanker (he was called in due to an injury)...

So'otala Fa'aso'o would have added a bit of size and would also add another lineout option (our backrow are currently all quite short). I'm not sure how big Beau Williams is, but given that our locks are all quite light, and he has ITM Cup experience, he probably wouldn't have been a bad option...

The following players are too old for this tournament, hence their non-selection. If they were born before 1994 they are not eligible. Tyler Fisher Cheslin Kolbe Justin Geduld Seabelo Senatla Werner Kok Shaun Adendorff Kwagga Smith However, if we can bring in Patrick Tuipulotu, Ardie Savea...

Personally, I think Taufua at 8 would make it the strongest team currently available, for the Crusaders. Particularly as I believe we currently need a strong ball carrier or two in the pack.

Oops! I forgot Rico Gear existed. Perhaps on the wing over Sooalo. I never saw Sooalo so I will go with that, for now.

I am from Canterbury so I figure I should do the Crusaders team. I don't really support them over the other NZ franchises, though. I generally support individual players who I like/think will be good at All Black level. Also, go easy on me as I only started seriously following rugby in 2006...

You can only bring in a player if you are ruling out the player they are replacing for the rest of the tournament (unless someone else gets injured and you bring them back in). If that makes any sense. So let's say your best tighthead (Jones) gets injured and you only have 4 props. You have to...

Won't 5 props be needed? You have 4 in your 23 man lineup and if any one of them gets injured, you need to be able to bring in another prop. I guess NZ could potentially pick Tom McCartney or Ben Tameifuna (and only select 2 hookers) or select Liam Coltman and only select 4 props (note that: I...

You probably won't have to worry about that this time around. Emery is hardly a giant.

He has a great running game and a great short passing game but is lacking in size and is perhaps a liability defensively. He is still eligible for U20s this year.

I haven't seen him play 8 so I wouldn't know. As a utility forward, I think he is more deserving of a spot.

Yea, I think it was you. I've edited the above post. I still don't agree that Bradley was more deserving of a spot than Filipo, however. Hasn't Bradley just recently retired, by the way? I'm looking forward to seeing Rory Grice get some more game time for Waikato. A strong season could see him...

After my argument with Larksea about Ross Filipo and where he'd start, I would just like to put my hand up and admit I was wrong and you were right. I didn't expect him to be played at 8 at all. Personally, I would've put Messam there.

I imagine that the AB selectors (if they have a training squad like last year, a few weeks before the tests) will call Rhys Marshall into the training squad to have a look at him, just like they did with Brad Shields etc. If he does well enough, and with a few injuries, we could see him playing...

I don't even know what I'm arguing, to be honest. I probably didn't mean to quote you. I'm all for the players having an opportunity to go to the Olympics.
