He is only 21. Plenty of time for him to develop and get more experience if he misses out this time.
He certainly has put his marker down this year.

Sititi showed today that he isn’t yet ready. Just a question of more experience.
Try at get him some game time at 6 or 7 too.
Ardie and Hoskins have the 8 jersey between them on lock for a whale.

Maybe, but on form he’s the best 6 in New Zealand.

Bollocks, he played really well.
Far more power than Sotutu. -

Me, he's going to Japan, bye bye, enjoy the yen.

if one asked the question of who in back five of pack Stern Vern would pick from other franchises to replace Blues incumbents, I’m not sure there’d be anyone.

SB at lock perhaps.

@sparky He might well play 7 for North Harbour.
He's a massive talent, but I don't think he's yet ready to throw in at the deep end against England.
Try to develop him by 2027 into a guy who can play all three Backrow positions. He'd be the ideal bench forward or to slot into the XV in case of an injury.

Ardie confirms he's not Captain, unless he's straight out lying
Ahead of Scott Robertson's first All Blacks squad announcement, Savea said he hadn't spoken with the new All Blacks coach yet.
"I'm just crossing my fingers and I'll wait for the news. I'm not going to overthink it. I'll go about my day and see if I do make it."
The World Rugby player of the year is highly likely to be named on Monday, although whether he's selected as the new All Blacks captain to replace Sam Cane is another matter.

Not unexpected. Razor will obv pick someone who he’s worked with closely over someone who I don’t think he’s ever coached…
