20-year-old Lord, together with All Blacks Sam Cane, Samuel Whitelock, Dane Coles and Shannon Frizell, will meet up with the squad in the Northern Hemisphere. Lord comes in, with locks Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu returning to New Zealand this week for family reasons. All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster said: “From a physical point of view, we have come through the Fortinet Rugby Championship really well. Therefore, we’ve decided to add fewer players than first anticipated for the next part of our 12-week Tour. Also having the Bunnings Warehouse NPC continue into November means we are also able to bring over potential replacements, if required.” With the All Blacks squad unable to return to New Zealand, the squad will relocate from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast tomorrow. The squad will have a week off and a training camp next week before flying out to the USA on Sunday 17 October. The All Blacks play the USA Eagles in Washington DC on Saturday 23 October before Test matches against Wales (Saturday 30 October), Italy (Saturday 6 November), Ireland (Saturday 13 November) and France (Saturday 20 November). Josh Lord – mini bio Born: 17 January 2001 Position: Lock Height: 2.02m, Weight:106 kg Province: Taranaki Super Rugby Team: Chiefs After first making his provincial debut for Taranaki in 2019, Josh Lord was called into the Chiefs wider training squad in 2020 and then the full squad this year. He made his Sky Super Rugby debut against the Crusaders in 2021 and played five matches. Lord has proved himself as a versatile lock and at 2.02m has impressed with his lineout work and with ball in hand. Lord plays both his provincial and Super Rugby alongside current All Blacks lock Tupou Vaa’i. Hailing from the small township of Owhango in the central North Island, Lord attended Hamilton Boys’ High School and first came onto the national radar with the University of Waikato Under 20 side as well as the New Zealand Under 20 team in 2018.Jeepers, 106kg isn’t much. Get that boy on some
RoidsCreatine !!!!!!!!He's listed as 113kg on the All Blacks app, which looks to have been updated recently for the new NPC season.
Having said that, he is also listed as being 30 year old. So might not be the most accurate
-
@bobily2 Age might be dodgy, but that's a much more realistic weight.
Possible still a bit lighter than reality, because he's supposedly the same height as Sam Whitelock and Sam is a bit of a beanpole lock, but the first listings I see for him are 117 kgs.

Who is this Dane Doles guy they have brought in?
"Sammy Whitelock, Sam Cane and Dane Doles are all hoping to try to get a run around this weekend in New Zealand before they come over."
Dane Coles' deadbeat brother.

Never even heard mentioned once! Never heard of him at all. Hope he goes well
You obviously don't read my posts then (though they may of been on another forum0, I a real fan of this kid, have been for a couple of years. I reckon any bugger that's locking at NPC level as an 18yo has a lot of potential, and when he graduated to Super this year, I thought he looked like he was growing as a lock. He still just a skinny bugger, but at 20yo he will fill out a bit.

Sco Bar is hauled off at halftime after a couple of dumb penalties , and then suddenly has to get home to wife?I don't think his wife can fake a pregnancy.....

Mentioned before the tour. Not sure about Paddy

Foster said on Newshub that they got 2 MIQ spots in the lottery (no government help). SB and PT were at the top of the list amongst the tour party of wanting to return. There were some others that would have too if they were successful, although he didn't say whether they were players or support staff.
PT is going to Japan without his family so probably wants to spend as much time with them before leaving.

He's going to Japan without his family. Someone else said he is probably just spending time with them before he goes.

Did you just quote yourself, agree, reply, and then explain your own post to yourself?
