There you go with the rugby analysis again.
Ok, as you are new to this game well give you a little leeway.
Do you like Santanas early work or his late 90s stuff? Your answer will explain a lot about you.

Why don't you regale us with how it's not the coach from counties fault that the blues are rubbish.

That topic is a bit advanced for this audience.

Neither, an overhyped player with a one game reputation.

So the only halfbacks invited to either the SI or NI camps are Aaron Smith, TJ Perenara and Mitchell Drummond.
@bovidae said in AB Positions up for grabs:
No Harris?
And the hookers who have been invited thus far: Aumua, Coles, Coltman and Taylor
(edited to add that I assume Coltman is only there because of Coles still being injured, but it's significant that he seems to have been picked ahead of Harris).Early signs?

Makes sense given their last performances, injury not withstanding.

Yeah sorry I got the list from here
I take it they aren't going camping in the wilderness then.

Captaincy in the absence of Read ... my pick would be Sam Whitelock.
-
Another one-day SI All Blacks camp in Chch tomorrow.
This article only mentions the Highlanders going into camp:
Ben Smith, Aaron Smith, Waisake Naholo, Liam Squire, Dillon Hunt, Luke Whitelock and Liam ColtmanNo surprises; same list as last time.

@bones my guess is the headline writer and the article writer are different people, with the headline person not paying alot of attention to the article...I mean the first line would make you think the writer wanted the headline to be something more like:
"Personally, I think he's the best centre in New Zealand"
