Halfbacks Brad Weber and Augustine Pulu have been overlooked.
So the only halfbacks invited to either the SI or NI camps are Aaron Smith, TJ Perenara and Mitchell Drummond.
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"

I'd more go with what he actually said.

@tim kinda expecting to not see anymore of Coles, and while Read is a big part of the ABs, this will be a great opportunity for us to see someone else there.
Pencil in Akira I reckon

Is Coles concussion? Gutted if so

Hooker Dane Coles is also yet to make a return in 2018 due to an operation following a ruptured ACL (knee) ligament.
"Dane is having a few problems with his knee too - he can't seem to straighten it," Hansen said. "He's gone back to the surgeon and the surgeon has put him back in a brace at night to try to help him get full extension.
"Once that happens he'll make progress pretty quickly. He is unlikely to be available for June." -

What a gutna if he is finished as he has matured into an excellent number 2!
Hell yeah. Scored some insane tries with his pace from hooker. A great example (like BBBR) of someone who does their core job, and then just brings another level of insane talent.
