Haved they named this team on tv, yet?
No. Only mentioned that Sotutu missed out.
-
Happy to see Numia make it after a VG SRP. Also IWL. Bit surprised but he was VG earlier in the year
Cameron should be there too. I'd prefer him to B Barrett but just never had enough game time. Likewise Proctor
9 canes in total. 5 ABs. Good base for Laidlaw to work with next year (minus Savea)
Maybe Flander could be considered unlucky. Along with Delany who maybe is one for next year
-
@Winger yeah I agree, Flanders had a big year but I feel like he's going to come into his own in 2024. Guys like Sangster and Delany are in the same boat IMO.
Good to see Love get in despite not playing, we all know the quality that he brings from fullback so hopefully he can get a few minutes at this level before the NPC.

I'd like to see Flanders playing 8 next year. With Delany at 6. Kirifi and Lakai covering 7 ( Lakai also 8 )
With IWL starting with a taller lock. Make our lineout a strength and give our forwards more bulk

Is Zarn injured?
I haven’t seen his name on any injured lists. In any event I’m not surprised that he didn’t make it.
-
@Stargazer Probably could have included a few more Crusaders.
-
No Josh Dickson. Is he off overseas?
-
@ACT-Crusader I think he's going to Japan, but it's not officially confirmed, yet.
-
@FakatavaABXV lovin the name change 😉
By September will you be FakatavaHB….

Even Tom Christie. I never really read too much into some of these squad announcements, especially with a final to play and even when a few more games are played, the equation soon changes. Players can play themselves into form or out of form. Some debutant players in either this squad or the All Black side may not workout, who knows?
