It seems 11.30 pm GMT.
It said 1130 am on 13th NZT earlier in thread. Which is 2230 GMT on 12th. NZDT is 13 hours ahead of UTC / GMT.
Which is still not a Thursday and going to upset some people.

@Snowy 12 hours diff at the mo?
12 hours on BST. BST ends late Oct. 13 hours on GMT/ UTC which was what you mentioned. BST is only the same as GMT when UK not on DST.
Let’s go with the team is announced in 1 hour and 5 minutes from now ( which is still not a Thursday).

My guess:
Props: Williams, De Groot, Bower, Newell, Tosi, Mafileo
Hookers: Taylor, Taukei'aho, Bell
Locks: S Barrett, Holland, Tuipulotu, Darry
Back Row: Parker, Finau, Kirifi, Savea, Sititi, Lakai, Jacobson
Half Backs: Roigard, Ratima, Christie
First Fives: B Barrett, McKenzie
Midfield: J Barrett, Tupaea, Fainga'anuku, Proctor, ALB
Wings: Carter, Clarke, Ioane, Reece
Full Backs: Jordan, Love -
I'd love to see Dalton Papalii named, but I don't think he will be. I think George Dyer, Christian Lio-Willie, Dylan Pledger and Caleb Tangitau should also be in the ABs squad, but are more likely to be in the All Blacks XV squad.

I will be very surprised if Kirifi is named. Not to say that Papali'i will be his replacement though.
The way things went for Sotutu it wouldn't be surprising to see Papali'i missing both Squads because Sotutu and Papali'i both have more specialist roles compared to the generalists that Razor/Ryan prefers.

If there's a genuine bolter, maybe Pledger for Christie would be it.
I thought above it would most likely be a loose forward, but I'm struggling to think who - Howden for Finau?
Or maybe they'll add a young first five?
-
Jacomb is the only 10 whose npc form would come close to getting him picked. Pledger obviously outstanding, but very young - he's the sort many coaches would pick but I wouldn't rush him.
Which loosies have stood out? Casey, Flanders maybe? More likely to pick a cantab from obscurity i would've thought. -

-
Mafileo only new name, Reece and Christie still hanging in there

@Grooter he’s in the squad proper. He was only injury cover and not added

Captain conservative strikes again
It's infuriating how he keeps saying one thing and doing another.
"Big man's game".
"Going to be braver this year". -
The only real surprise for me is Lord over Darry.
