Francis Saili playing in North Harbour while ABs travel to Argentina...

Steve Hansen saw what I, Francis played a bad game against the Pumas. And some criticized me for questioning to Francis, the first Pumas try was his fault.

Cheers

If there's one thing I'll take away from the Southland/North Harbour match, it's this:

"Meat sandwich."

You might want to go away and listen to what Steve Hansen said about Saili vs Argentina - far from a bad game (opposite of what you said). Saili is young - needs as much game time as he can get. Travelling with the ABs and sitting on the bench at best is not going to help his development as much as playing once (or twice) a week at ITM cup level. Remember also that he was cover for Nonu, not picked then dropped as you seem to imply. Disagree with you completely. You seem to judge him ostly based on one mistake whereas he actually played a very good game if you exclude that one error. Fine to criticize, I just think your criticism is misguided!
