Answer:
Sean Maitland, I’m not surprised, I’m down right pissed off.
He deserved it last year as he was the best winger in the entire comp and I know this is fuckyeahzacguildford but the amount of chances Zac’s had is unfair because Sean’s on form 95% of the time and he hasn’t even had a chance to prove himself at all.
Also, pretty surprised Tj isn’t there.
#All Blacks #Sean MaitlandYeah, I know that it sucks Zac’s not in there, but it’s not really surprising is it? After the Raro incident, it was pretty obvious he was going to have to work 120% to build his reputation back up. And he’s still young, he’s only 23, he’ll bounce back and for all anyone knows he could become one of the best wings in the world and be a sure fire All Black for the rest of his rugby career. Just because he’s not there currently, doesn’t mean he won’t be in a few years to come.
