a bit worried Naholo will get painted in a bad light if they under perform, would have thought it only fair to put him outside a proven midfield or smith at 15

Whats with so many mediocre crusaders players.. Romano, Dagg, Todd, Ellis, Crotty and Crocket, get rid of them. I held out some hope that Hansen would have a change of heart and put Savea jr in the squad but he won't. He is the perfect guy to bring off the bench I reckon. I'd waaaay rather have him coming on with 20 to go than boring old Matt Todd who isn't dynamic at all and is more injury cover than impact player.
All the world wants to see is NMS in an AB shirt This team clearly shows that Hansen see's these 4 games as purely WC build up games, so we may only see the best AB team out in the last 2 of the 4 rounds..
So like Kiwi said, this could be New Zealand's first loss the the Argies because of that, but i wouldnt wanna bet on it!
Its 8am GMT.
NMH is apparently still carrying an injury, so they are giving him a little more time; Hansen has said that he's going to try to give all of his squad a go if possible, and has also had more than a little influence in the Maori All Blacks V NZ BaaBaas positional selections, so he can manufacture who is matched up against who.
I'm not too worried about the playing personnel for this match against the Pumas, as long as the other players get their shot in the remaining matches; not too surprised to see C.Smith rested, as I see him as a player harder to replace than Nonu ... Fekitoa's skill set is closer to Nonu's than Smith's.
... Yes, Dagg is exceedingly lucky to get another shot, but I can understand Hansen's "he hasn't had much game time/hes been injured" argument as well
