All Blacks 2024

Anyone think Daniel Rona has a chance of making all black squad?
Every time I see him play he impresses me,always makes good decisions -
@family-man maybe ABs XV but not ABs yet. Needs to be a regular starter for the Chiefs first.
-
@Canes4life good point but personally I think he should be 1st choice for chiefs .
Don’t think alb has done enough this season -
@Canes4life jrk maybe? Been good in a disappointing highlanders team

Every time I see him play he impresses me,always makes good decisionsI've been calling for McMillan to start Daniel Rona at 11 over Nanai-Seturo since last year, he's much stronger in contact and is a superior defender than ENS, it also means you can have both Poihipi and Tupaea in the 23 (assuming ALB starts at centre).

I just don't see him being international level (yet). Give him another season of actually starting.

The best thing about each AB season for me is seeing how the newbies impact the team and whether we unearth any future stars. The two players I was most looking forward to seeing this year were Finau and Roigard......
Absolutely!
For me it’s Christie and Vaa’i

I won't be writing him off just yet because of how he was used under Foster.
You are George Bridge and I claim my free bag of chips.

What has been said officially about the All Blacks XV in 2024? Can't see anything on AllBlacks.com, but what's new?!
-
@Dan54 Was it 2022 when virtually evey Canterbury/fringe Crusaders player got picked? Guys like Dom Gardiner, Finlay Brewis, Zach Gallagher etc? Fuck me lol.
Hopefully we don't go down that track again whoever the selectors are.

The All Blacks outstide backs don't really matter. They could pick any collection of players, and they'll be fine because we have tons of great ones.
I'd argue the starting back threes for each of the Super Rugby sides in NZ, would be good enough to start for plenty of other countries (look at Ireland for instance and some of the rejects they have on the wings).
If Jordan is back fit, he is a lock, as is Telea. Need another fullback which is clearly Love.
Probably take two more wingers, and for mine hard to look past Clarke and Narawa. I don't disagree with the assessment that Reece has been the best winger in Super Rugby this year, but he is supposed to be heading offshore... and also, his chaos-mode was never really that successful for the ABs in the past.
