when is the kiwi team announced , Blair is a certainty,
Lima should be in the mix with Asotai, Moi Moi and Rapira depending how many front rowers they pick and who they favour if they go for less than 4.

NO JEREMY SMITH??? YOU ARE KIDDING ME.
Okay I love Sika and all and he is probably NZ's best if he wants to be but he hasn't played a first grade game since last year and Lima who has been devastating this year misses out. Come on!!!!!!

Have to laugh about Sika being in the squad. They did the same thing last year and then he was seriously injured a few weeks later.

Good on Coops, I believe he deserves it over Jonathon Thurston, even if he wasn't injured.

Among the players out of contention through injury for this Test were experienced internationals Manu Vatuvei, Simon Mannering, Roy Asotasi, Jeremy Smith, Frank Pritchard, Fuifui Moimoi and Dene Halatau.I love Cooper wrote: Kiwi Squad

I actually dont think lima's form has been that good this year , apart from the last 2 weeks,
at one stage he was one of the big names rumored to be dropped from the Storm 17 when White came back,
At least Kearney cant be accused of being biased towards Strom players ,
I would say Manu's inclusion was last minute with Pritchard getting injured yesterday , its a balance thing,
Second rower for second rower. Lima plays tighter.
Some big losses here for NZ due to injury, Manu Vatuvei, Simon Mannering, Roy Asotasi, Jeremy Smith, Frank Pritchard, Fuifui Moimoi , all would be in the squad if availible IMO.

Mayhaps a compatriot of Warren Smith or just wishful thinking
Article hereFolau out as Farah has edge over Smith
DANIEL LANE
May 2, 2010
IN A double bombshell, Australian selectors are expected to announce tonight that besieged Melbourne Storm captain Cameron Smith has been overlooked for the Test team and Brisbane's Israel Folau has been punished for negotiating with the AFL and rugby union.
Smith is set to be overthrown as Australia's Test hooker by Wests Tigers' Robbie Farah who, ironically, will play halfback in today's christening of his club's new-look home ground at Campbelltown.
