    Sam Darry, who earned his first test cap when he took the field as a substitute against Fiji in San Diego last weekend, will likely be required to sit on the bench. Josh Lord has been called in as cover until Barrett is fit.

    From Stuff with ScoBa out indefinitely.

    Has Darry jumped Lord? I thought Lord was both injured and preferred.

    I know you didn't mean it that way, but that seems like an apt and ironic comment on All Black selection concepts this year 🙂

      Taking 3 locks and having Darry in the train-on squad was weird. That was the basis to infer they didn't want to hand him a contract - and seemed to be waiting for Lord to come back from injury.

      Selections have been a bit unusual, particularly in composition of the squad.

        @Chester-Draws you are reaching a bit now with the anti Fozzie stuff. Havili, McLeod, Ennor and Tupea were the next best midfielders, all given chances, and all were found to not be test standard. That's very unlikely to change regardless of who coaches the ABs. What was Fozzie meant to do? Keep selecting the "next best" in the line and hope someone magically goes well? The ABs is not a development side.

        I actually think it is. It’s pretty hard to develop a test level player from just Super rugby (separate conversation about quality of the super rugby competition). Players need time at test level for the coaches to know if they are actually test level.

        There are development sides and development sides though i.e. George Bell vs Billy Proctor.

        Yeah, that was my point, it's not a team where you can take a player that hasn't offered enough at Super level and try to develop him into a test player. The coaches still have to win. I think nearly everyone that showed something the level below got a crack at the midfield, and even some that didn't (e.g. McLeod). The fact is none of them are test class players, there's only so much a coach can do when the cattle isn't there.

          We'll know soon enough what Robertson thinks

          Robertson was asked earlier this week and said he sees Jordan as a fullback who can cover wing. Which aligns with how he selected the Crusaders.

          It will be interesting how Jordan combines with DMac.

          Sure, but BB has been named as a 10 and has exclusively been used at fullback so there are no guarantees.

          DMac is an 80 minute player and his experience as a test 10 is still quite limited, so I’m liking that they have given him 80 in the first 3 tests. We have an experienced back up if need be, but building DMac’s body of work is critical to this next 3 years.

          DC was playing 80 minutes more so than not with Beaudie on the bench for example as the back up.

          I agree - but the selectors would have likely known from the moment that the squad was picked that Barrett was more likely to get minutes at 15 than 10.

          I'm not saying Jordan won't be used primarily at fullback, I just don't think that Razor's comments are conclusive. What works at Super Rugby level doesn't necessarily work at Test level and Robertson might decide that it's more important to have a second playmaker at fullback (a la Perofeta, Barrett or Love), particularly against South Africa, than someone like Jordan.

            I think Darry was insurance for Tuipuluto given he was under a cloud heading into the SR final. So not unusual to have 3 locks (plus a lock/6 in Finau) in a small squad.

              fine in isolation. but probably not when you are looking to replace the two starters and ever presents from the past decade or so.

                  Not that I think anything will happen, but for me the best fullback in the squad is still Jordie.

                      We'll know soon enough what Robertson thinks

                      Robertson was asked earlier this week and said he sees Jordan as a fullback who can cover wing. Which aligns with how he selected the Crusaders.

                      It will be interesting how Jordan combines with DMac.

                      Sure, but BB has been named as a 10 and has exclusively been used at fullback so there are no guarantees.

                      DMac is an 80 minute player and his experience as a test 10 is still quite limited, so I’m liking that they have given him 80 in the first 3 tests. We have an experienced back up if need be, but building DMac’s body of work is critical to this next 3 years.

                      DC was playing 80 minutes more so than not with Beaudie on the bench for example as the back up.

                      I agree - but the selectors would have likely known from the moment that the squad was picked that Barrett was more likely to get minutes at 15 than 10.

                      I'm not saying Jordan won't be used primarily at fullback, I just don't think that Razor's comments are conclusive. What works at Super Rugby level doesn't necessarily work at Test level and Robertson might decide that it's more important to have a second playmaker at fullback (a la Perofeta, Barrett or Love), particularly against South Africa, than someone like Jordan.

                      I agree. Still question marks on whether he can play there. But I guess there’s no more question marks than there were/are with Perofeta or Love.

                      Not that I think anything will happen, but for me the best fullback in the squad is still Jordie.

                      Frees up Havilli for a recall at 12. Brilliant stuff

                      Or Ardie….

                          I thought Lord was both injured and preferred.

                          I know you didn't mean it that way, but that seems like an apt and ironic comment on All Black selection concepts this year 🙂

                          Taking 3 locks and having Darry in the train-on squad was weird. That was the basis to infer they didn't want to hand him a contract - and seemed to be waiting for Lord to come back from injury.

                          Selections have been a bit unusual, particularly in composition of the squad.

                          I think they've used trainings (as well as games) to learn more about these players and how they fit into the AB environment - whilst also being limited to a squad size of 32 for the first squad.

                          To select Darry in the 32 man squad means dropping someone else

                          The likes of Darry, Love and Hotham have impressed and so come into the 36 man squad.

                              So that means we currently have four fullbacks - Perofeta, Barrett, Love, and Jordan.

                              They should have picked Plummer to develop a second first-five because going back to Barrett is total back to the future vibes.

                              Plummer would have been a better bet either way, he's not going to be any worse at 12 than David. He's definitely more physically equipped.

                                      Calm down Neps. Enough is enough. He’s not exactly Andrew Merhtens. He was actually a reasonably big fella when I walked past him in the airport.

                                      Mehrtens was an AB 12?

                                      No but Havili covers 10
