AB squad for the Bledisloe Cup?

[Stargazer]

@Chris-B

1. Outside backs: David Havili, Leicester Fainga'anuku
2. Only a few as injury cover, including Josh Ioane

Ahh. Forgot Havili

Can Wes Goosen play on the left wing?

Big Leicester was my initial thought, but he's not ready for test rugby IMO. He's only started a few games in Super rugby.

Rayasi is similar - a good prospect, but green as grass.

They'd surely play Rieko on the left wing ahead of any of these guys.

There will now be bye weeks with only 3 teams so they could probably cover from within the current squad. Reece can also play on either wing.

@booboo Talea has some significant issues under the high ball!

Haven't kept up with a lot of NPC. He was all the rage early in Super.

Well he’s not a winger these days, in which case it’s highly likely that they’ll play him there.

I don't think @Chris-B wants to loose their latest chequebook signing.

TBH, not playing Ioane on the wing when he's not starting in the midfield is just silly. He's easily one of the best wings in the squad even if he hasn't been playing there.

[Chris B.]

@Nepia We agree for once - and on both points.

But, I'm also correct about Talea!

Or Telea even...
