@MN5 Midfield we have a clear top two in Jordie Barrett and Reiko Ioane and three decent backups in ALB, Billy Proctor and Dallas McLeod. I’m not worried about our midfield options. Riley Higgins is an exciting prospect as well.
Well at least you got rid of Havilli from your list……but then again he’s in your first five list.
God help us

2024 could be a good year.
Hopefully next level game plan and clarity.
There will be emphasis on the TMO rulings guidance allowing better flow.
Hoping we go for a traditional quick 7
Solid base with de Groot, Lomax, Newell and Williams. Very fortunate. -

I feel Razor is going to try and convince NZR to bring in the equivalent of the Giteau law.
And Robinson and NZR have said no. If they backtrack, I hope that the high profile ABs who are staying in NZ ask for an immediate release from their NZR contract so they can sign a more lucrative off-shore contract and still be eligible for the ABs.

I agree, it has to be a hard no on a form of Gitaeu rule for NZ

Yep, both the Cantabs.
And keeping an eye out through Super Rugby.
If we discover a proper 6/lock, something interesting to see might be Kirifi on the bench.
define interesting

It was clearly to make Richie Mounga eligible because of needing a good 10. Hopefully there is a big focus this year at Super level at developing a replacement or two.
Maybe Razor should have focused his interest on convincing Mo to stay.
A change in policy based on one player is the worst type of policy.

It’s worth looking into when David Havilii is mentioned as a potential replacement

Even heard talk of Jordie having a go at 10, not sure if it is a joke. He does have a powerful boot, he would need to improve the accuracy of his clearances and exits, not to mention ball distribution. I don't profess to be an expert, he is a strong dude and wouldn't get shoved around. Dan wasn't small either.

Yeah Robertson talked about how he was going to lobby for a change, then Robinson shut down that talk in a subsequent press release
I think it's pretty dumb to dismiss ideas out of hand like that. Should be open to new ideas and experiences from other countries.
Plus ca change
