AB squad for the Rugby Championship

I don't think a Saders/Canes final is possible in the structure is it? If they win their respective quarter finals they play each other in a semi.
Unlikely that Canes will drop below 4th.
The only way two NZ sides can be in the final is for another side to come 7th on the table, beat the second placed team in their quarter then also win their semi. If that is possible for any team it is the Blues that have a shot at it. If they beat the Bulls they could even get within 1 point of them on the table.So to the point....the Argie tour side will likely be missing Crusaders only.

Off the top of my head I'll throw the following in the mix:
S Barrett shouldn't be a Certainty, but probably is
Tuipolutu should be higher than a Possible, call him Probable
A Ioane should maybe be a Possible rather than Bolter
Add the following for Bolter consideration;
Aumua
Perry
L Whitelock
Makalio
HaviliBooboo's indulgent Outsider:
Nanai -

Fair point, although it is far more likely that the Canes drop out of 4/5 than the Blues making the finals.
Chiefs v Crusaders would also be interesting from a locking/captaincy/third halfback selection perspective.

Think ALB is a def. certainty bearing in mind the way he's playing for the Chiefs and Crotty's injury-prone-ness

SBW is a certainty if fit too
Fitness a big "if" for me.
He'll be in the RC squad - just think Hansen and co. need to decide on a settled 12/13 which isn't constantly plagued by injuries
