AB squad for the Bledisloe Cup?

[sparky]

@Bones Mitch Brown? Good player, but an All Black?

@Bones Great to see David Havili back. I rate him (he should have been in ABs squad last year) and perhaps by the time of Bledisloe he will be ready to play international Rugby again, but his long-term health is the priority. I'd give him a long off-season.

Mate, you named Hunt as bubbling under. There's more than one...

[sparky]

@Bones Mitch Karpik. Add him and Lachlan Boshier to Bubbling Under I suppose. Good Super Rugby Players who give 100%.

[Bones]

@sparky I give up.

[sparky]

@Bones Mitch Dunshea? I rate Dickson and Parkinson more.

Mitch Hunt for the ABs? Only if the other First Five option is Brett Cameron.

[Bones]

I'm thinking Gilbert could be in with a shot.

@Snowy that's not how you spell butt.

[Machpants]

I reckon they might get Otere Black in as an apprentice, but otherwise it's going to be a green squad if they pick on form. A fair few edge ABs not playing well. And once again were short of locks and props, tight 5 is our problem area (tight 6 if you include a tall and/or smashing people 6).

[Bones]

@Machpants plenty of potential 6s about who could step up.

[Machpants]

@Bones yeah potential. I'm worried there are a lot, but no stand out, and we'll get mix and match and no top pick.

There has been one for a year or two, but for some reason he is a bit controversial, so I won't mention him.

Barrett is an 808.

Need to see:
8. Sotutu
15. Jordan

Probably Jordan off the bench. IIRC he can cover wing too?

[Kiwiwomble]

Jordie has to be pretty far down the pecking order now, never really made the most of getting the call up and now there so many guys putting their hand up with awesome form, i cant think of anywhere id consider him even in the top three

[Crucial]

The love for Will Jordan on this thread sounds very much like the love for George Bridge last year. Just saying.

Good player but he's not a patch on prime Ben Smith (which is the benchmark)

@Kiwiwomble

Scored three tries at RWC 2019. Still only 23. Big, strong, super skilled and fast, issues around his composure but Jordie Barrett is far too good for the selectors to ignore.
