AB RWC Squad

@Bovidae said in AB RWC Squad predictions:

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

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....

Leister and t Williams cited at Christchurch airport

Unlikely to be for speeding.

@mariner4life said in AB RWC Squad:

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

Beauden says hi.

Aumua

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

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.

@Wurzel Picking 18 forwards would only make any sense if they are not too bothered by Brodie Retallick’s injury. Maybe he’ll be fit by the France game?

Certainly doesn’t sound like it

[sparky]

@Wurzel Is your reliable source as reliable as a reliable sauce?

[Stargazer]

I wonder whether they'll name a list of players that will have to be on standbye in case they need to jump on a plane to replace an injured player.They may still have that list, but not make it public obviously.
