@antipodean Good call.

@Canes4life said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
@ruggabee Ardie improved immensely last year as captain. I remember the majority on here wanted him to stay captain but obviously Cane took over again.
In fact, did Ardie lose a game as captain last year? His winning percentage was way higher than Canes wasn’t it?
I mean, Savea's win percentage was higher, but that's hardly a fair measure. Cane captained in all five of the All Blacks' tough Tests (SA 1, SA 2, France, Ireland, SA 3) and they won two and lost three. Savea wasn't asked to be captain in any of the tough games.

@Tim ENS has a big left foot.
Didn't Narawa also produce some pretty impressive touch-finders in today's game?
-
@Victor-Meldrew same with Proctor.

LoveYou're missing two players even if you have both Numia and Williams. 32 man squad and you've named 30. A halfback and a lock I imagine.

He did.
I'd prefer TWO FUCKIN HANDS when running in tries though. -

I'd prefer TWO FUCKIN HANDS when running in tries though.And an AB winger should not be caught when running in an intercept. He was woefully slow.

@george33 AJ Lam lol, nope. He’s well down the pecking order. If his brother wasn’t an AB he will never be.

@Canes4life just wait and see, Mr McDonald rates him

He's not that far down the pecking order he's been in All Blacks XV before and is developing into a player that can cover midfield and wing - playing in a winning team and having a strong season.
