Why the h*ll isnt lachlan turner playing?

Question

Im a kiwi and obviously go for the all blacks and lachlan turner is our worst nightmare and he isnt even playing, why? someone told me it is because him and burgess hate eachother?

Answer 1

Good question.  I think we are still learning the way that Robbie thinks as to selections. Trouble for Turner is that Hynes has been very good. Hynes has been hanging around in the Reds for a couple of years.  He's always had promise but has been behind a beaten pack week after week. Now, with a bit of go forward he's shown what he's got and Turner's got a problem.

Answer 2

I heard that too. I think burgess is too up himself though

Answer 3

It took me a while to be sold on  Hynes but his defence against Habana last week was awesome. He can be brilliant on his day but when he isnt on he is merely an undersized speedster with questionable defence. Drew Mitchell is the best out and out winger in Aus. He should be starting at wing infront of Hynes or fullback with Ashley-Cooper 13.

Answer 4

If that was the case one of them would have left the 'Tahs by now. I think you'll see Lachie playing fullback for Tahs next season. Then you'll have the back three of 15 Turner, 14 Tuquiri and 11 the young Randwick winger who went to the Junior World Cup. Meaning that from next season I expect Turner to be our test 15.
