Looks like they don't rate Levi Aumua at all.
No Christie in ab xv.
Foster admits the performances in the semifinals did change the squad. 'One went in and one went out'.
Laulala wasn't a Blues forward I expected to see in there ...
All Blacks XV squad named:

@Tim said in All Blacks 2023:
Possibly Samipeni Finau in for Akira Ioane?
Stevenson is injury cover for Telea in the "early RC", so might get to see him against Argentina.
@Mr-Fish And/or Sotutu missing out.
Jeez there are some clown calls in there, wakka wakka wakka
No Bryce Heem, Brodie McAlister (possibly injured), Hoskins Sotutu in either of the squads...
Did i miss Blackadder in either squad? Is he out injured?
EDIT: He is.
@Mr-Fish said in All Blacks 2023:
Sounds like he didn’t text Fozzie back.
Yep McAlister bad hamstring tear out for up to 8 weeks
Perhaps - though it would be a surprise for him to drop from the All Blacks squad out of the equation altogether.

Unavailable due to injury: Angus Ta’avao, Ethan Blackadder, Cullen Grace, David Havili, Joe Moody, George Bower, Patrick Tuipulotu, Quinn Tupaea, Sevu Reece, TJ Perenara.
Why has he axed Hoskins Soutu? Very odd.
@sparky said in All Blacks 2023:
Would you start him against South Africa/Ireland/France ahead of Savea or Jacobson? Or even Finau, based on current form?
How does Laulala make it. The guy moves like a gravestone at a cemetery, and has stumps for hands. Don’t remember Blues scrum being that dominant?

Foster made it clear a few weeks ago that defence was vital for midfield.
