So on the Breakdown last night Kirwan was pushing for Riccitelli to be selected as one of the hookers. He's the sort of guy that doesn't make many mistakes but I wouldn't have him up there as one of the top three hookers.
JK looking after the Italian boys

Very decent chance, been posed plenty before though, not exactly out there.

Over Scott Barrett and Ardie Savea? I highly doubt it with Robertson as coach and hope it doesn’t happen tbh. Dalton isn’t a certainty to start either.
It’s a three horse race between Barrett, Savea and Taylor for me and those are the names that have been thrown around in the media.
Where did Dalton come from? Or is that just Fern speculation?

@Canes4life two of your horses could pretty easily be surpassed by younger models in the next 3-4 years and the other is a hurricane.

The ‘Hurricane’ is also the best player in the world so you know there’s that.
Dalton could also be taken over by others aswell so that’s a moot point.
Let’s be honest, is Razor really going to pick a Blue as captain? Probably not. Is Dalton really AB captain material? Probably not. Will he select Barrett as his captain? Probably.

Savea hasn't impressed as a captain, and doesn't seem very smart. Barrett also seems pretty thick, but has better results as a captain.
Dalton doesn’t seem the sharpest tool either so is it slim pickings? Dalton just seems like another Cane for me. Solid without being dominant in all facets of what an international 7 should be.
If it’s all based on brains then Taylor probably gets the nod.

Have you got access to their NCEA results or something ? How is Taylor “smarter” than the others ?

Taylor seems a little more articulate than the others from what I’ve seen.
The AB captain needs to be the best in their position. Barrett, Taylor and Savea tick that box, Dalton arguably doesn’t so that rules him out right away. I’m only echoing what’s been in the media. Dalton hasn’t been mentioned as a possibility from what I’ve read. Not sure why everyone’s getting so defensive.
Dalton isn’t even the Blues captain.

This is the guy that does dumb shit every week even in super rugby?
-
@Bones you could say that about almost every player these days…
Barrett and Taylor are proven winners under Robertson so that will probably sway it in their favour.
I'm not too fussed who's captain tbh, I just want the ABs to get back to being dominant like we were 5-6 years ago.

…..an AB captain shouldn’t let Dane Coles get to him either but Taylor did.
Also is he clearly the best hooker ? Aumua has been sensational.

@Canes4life If you appoint Taylor as captain then you need a trusted VC as Taylor won't be playing the full 80 mins.
Using @Tim's criteria, I'm with you on Papalii. He's not exactly Mensa material.
I think it will be SB but the back injury could be a concern.
