@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
Remember
This is the first squad only
Ted's first squad in 2004 had Xavier Rush in it.
Dropped the starting number 8 from the previous season to the bench as a result too.
These one-eyed Blues coaches…

So no Love as I said… Ahhh the old mindless speculation and half truths ae!
Anyway, Ruben Love is injury cover for Caleb Clarke.
How Perofeta has made it over Love is beyond me but hey there’s a player in Perofeta so hopefully they can get the best out of him.
Really feel for Hoskins, no idea what more he needs to do. Possibly another Blackadder injury or a knock to Sititi/Jacobsen and he could get the call up? Either way, he should be in the 32.

7 Crusaders. And the Captain
Image if they had won again
Absolutely gutted for Grace, Lio-Willie, Hannah, Hotham, Havili, McLeod and Fihaki. They were very hard done by.

no specialist 15 really. 10/15s and a 12/15.

A starting loose trio of Finau, Papali’i and Savea for England 1 could do the business

Blues lock Sam Darry, Hurricanes outside back Ruben Love and the Crusaders pair of prop George Bower and midfielder David Havili will also assemble with the squad as cover.

You have to admire the loyalty, I guess

Nah I don’t think he will. Bench spot. Well at least my email to him told him not to.

The bad/lame jokes thread is in the off topic section

@sparky
To be honest these days the wing position is probably the least specialised position on the pitch and can be covered by any number of backs. -

England's high ball specialists will be licking their lips. Expect them to go to air a lot.

I'd prefer Ratima, but I just see them going Christie, gut feeling. Esp after TJ shat the bed in the semi

What idiot thought putting Kirsty Stanway front and centre of so much of Sky Rugby coverage is a good idea?
Her voice makes me want to cut my ears off and her knowledge is awful.

Her voice is so annoying.

Devlin nails it with Tosi

Devlin nails it with Tosi
Surely that was leaked to him.
Out of interest, how many kegs is Tosi carrying these days?
-
Love, Darry, Bower and Havili will be with the squad in a part time capacity

So just to be clear: The team that couldn't make a finals series of top eight in a 12 team competition has more All Blacks than the team that won?
