if they take 5 wingers and 5 loose forwards then someone has been dropped on their heads

Especially when Ardie is covering 12…

[Bovidae]

Foster wasn't happy with the leaked squad for Dunedin so I expect he has been careful not to disclose the RWC squad.

I really hope that’s the case

[ACT Crusader]

apparently half the squad has been leaked:

Moody, Williams, Newell, Taylor, Bell, Whitelock, Barrett, Blackadder, Grace, Harmon, Drummond, Mo’unga, Burke, Havili, Fainga’anuku, McLeod, Jordan

And that’s the good half

@ACT-Crusader said in AB RWC Squad:

Drummond

I almost wish it was so.

[bayimports]

Does Nepo make it?, does Finau miss out? I suspect Nepo doesn't make it and the heavy shoulder does!

[Chris B.]

Don't they also usually name a sort of 10 man standby group. Be interesting to see who is in that.

Mafileo, Aumua, Lord, Blackadder, Ioane, Harmon, Weber, Perofeta, Goodhue, Proctor, Stevenson....

This is the link they've just posted for the livestream (it's not live yet):

Unlikely to be for speeding.

Beauden says hi.

Aumua

Wasn't c4l saying he's in a moon boot?

[Wurzel]

I've been sent that same squad from a reliable source. Be interesting if it turns out to be correct given the split of loosies and outside backs.

[Machpants]

If true I bet were the only team with 15 backs in our squad

[Bovidae]

With BBBR in doubt for the start of the RWC it would be madness to take one less loose forward (who covers lock) for an outside back.
