NZRU show the height of sporting arrogance

I dunno about the NZRU, but when the ARU are still broke after a Lions tour and calling for player pay cuts, I think the expense of forgoing a lucrative Test to travel to Fiji becomes that little bit less likely...

SPIRO’s Lions Diary: Deans goes for experience, plus Folau

Ah but then you'd be introducing logic and consistency into your selecting and that means you can't show off your ability to plucking miracle talent from nowhere (only Messr Robbie has this gift). You see in Dingoland form and playing in your position are only relevant if you are not one of those players who "has it". So this means players like Horne, Alexander, McCabe, Barnes, Burgess et al don't actually have to be playing (let alone playing well) or in position or even starting because they've "got it". But if your name is Mowen, White, Holmes, Hodges or Toomua you have to be fit, playing 80 minutes every week in your position, winning every game and already have 50+ Test experience or else you'll struggle to get a look in.

SPIRO’s Lions Diary: Deans goes for experience, plus Folau

Hey I am not in favour of picking Horne or Burgess, I am just pointing out the great excuse not to pick Taps that has been provided. To be honest I'd probably go for CL at inside right now, if I was in charge. Burgess is a joke, the fact anyone is batting an eyelid taht he's coming back to Australia, let alone selecting him, is amazing. White has shown this season that he is a far more complete scrum half - he has a bigger boot, a more accurate kick, he can do conversions if necessary and has a better pass (i.e. he can actually pass). Burgess is a backrower pretending to be a scrum half and it is sad that we've gone back to that option.
