My Ireland pick is down to Razor's Crusaders bias picking 2 of his boys at hooker this year which has left the ABs with a known weak lineout thrower in Aumua and an understudy who was just as flakey at Super Rugby this year. All while leaving a Super Rugby winning hooker and one of our most reliable throwers at home.

The bias got even worse with Taylor out injured this week they called Brodie McAlister into the squad ahead of Eklund - so there's 3 Crusaders Hookers out of 4 in the ABs squad this week, its actually stupid given the two not named Taylor haven't looked even close to pushing him out of his spot.
