    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 Coltman

    No surprises; same list as last time.

    @tim I'd go along with what he actually said... Not what the headline said he said.

    @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"

    @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.

    @hooroo

    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."

    @hooroo nah ACL, but he seemed well off the pace last year.

    While I expect they will give him another shot once fit, think he is on the downward part of his career (I hope I'm wrong)

    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.

    Hopefully Whitelock. Personally, I think he should be captain, ahead of Read.
