All Blacks 2024
-
The new coaching group seems to have been impressively air tight.
Devlin's call that Scott Barrett will be captain seems to be about the only assertive call I've seen in the media - and it's a good bet if nothing else.
Doesn't seem to be much intel coming out even about which players are in this week's camp.

@Chris-B not sure if Devlin can be trusted in any way, his contact is himself most likely

That wouldn't surprise me in the least!
I think Scott is probably the favourite to get the job so it's probably not a bad call if you want to look "informed".

In the short term, the Crusaders’ Quentin Strange could be the man who gets the nod.

I should have referenced the article but this is coming from the Press I think so obviously someone like Strange is in the picture from a Cantebury lense. I'd have someone like Darry or Walker-Leawere before Strange.

@Chris-B what's his injury status tho, that would be big concern he's had those bulged disc back injury B4

I recall Dalton played 6 in test 2 vs Ireland in Dunedin in 2022
And he was poor

I hope the ABs select specialist players in each of their respective positions. Dalton isn't a 6 let alone a test 6, this would be stupid.

Only info I have in regards to players is the hurricanes I posted earlier in the thread and I found out last night there are apparently 4 Highlanders at camp(didn’t get names). Nothing groundbreaking but hoping to find out more tonight or tomorrow night. Source is pretty close to the situation and he’s been correct about everything he’s told me so far.

@Landers92 4 highlanders? Fakatava, De Groot...then anyone else would be a surprise surely, JRK and TT have had good seasons but lots of traffic ahead of them

There's going to be some big casualties come Monday nothing more true than that
A lot of 50-50 calls won't go the right way.

Yeah we were speculating and came to the JRK conclusion too. Dunshea was a name thrown in with the locking issues and with Razor and Jason Ryan’s familiarity with him.
Quite possible a few of the players attending will be in the AB XV and just outside of the test picture at the moment.

any of our young guys that might be there just for some experience?

I really don’t know if any of the Highlanders young guys would even be considered to even be at the level yet. Millar possibly just for a look? I wouldn’t think so though.

I could live with that if he/she was actually right more times than just the odds of flipping a coin.

@Frank No some big names may crumble
Can you be even more vague?
It's possible that some notable contenders might not perform as expected.
It's possible that some well-regarded participants might face unexpected challenges.
