if cane having a break wouldnt surprise me to see like move to seven and parker to 8
Only if there is a lack of balance in the loose forwards in the squad - again. A lot of 6/8s but not enough 7s.

LJ probarly better than the ones you mentioned and parker has huge upside
Simon Parker? Big lad!

@ploughboy The Stuff article is saying what you think, i.e., Jacobson will play 7. He's obviously going to be the captain too. Cane's impending move to Japan has been known for a while so they (hopefully) have planned for this and have suitable replacements in place.

@Windows97 yeah that could be his AB career done bar injuries. I have the Chiefs favourites for the 2024 Super title but he will leave a large(ish) gap no doubt.
-
@Windows97 I also thought initially this was him giving up his All Blacks spot, but Razor is a smart man. Would be a major call to dump the current captain straight away, when the current playing group clearly love him. Might well get him offside with a few people when he doesn't need to.
I think it is more likely he slowly phases him out, letting him get to 100 caps (probably not as captain though).
-
@frugby My thoughts will be that Cane will be in the team, but probably not starting or captain of the team.
Whether he gets back to starting or captain will be dependent on how well whoever plays at 7 goes.
Of course wild speculation on my part

Nice try. He's off on sabbatical.

The team I'm referring to is the AB's - not the Chiefs

Righto. Cant see him making that team...
(Inadvertent #booboo somehow landed on the last post in the thread ... )

Well if they pick Harmon for even a single game as AB7 in the near future I'm going to go a full RancidS...
-
Sione Mafileo could be a option if he is getting fit.wouldnt surpise me if they had a replacement for profitt either. Oneil i would imagine will be there.
not really sold on Sa but wouldnt be surpised if he was picked.
floence or norris for loose forward
wings are going to be interesting could be after two? if they let malimali go.hopefully they dont take the waikato midgets.
