Not a fan of the Howieson call up.
Rufer deserves to be there on form.

As someone else mentioned fact Howieson could stay for all 5 matches and Rufer couldn’t, likely the deal breaker. Hay himself mentioned this as a factor in some selection decisions.
Neither CH or Rufer will make a future full strength smaller 23 man squad. They would need injuries to get a look in.
Be nice to see Howieson trial for the Nix, but imagine that horse has bolted ie Auckland is his home
