Well i think you've done a pretty good job of naming the largest group of outside backs in AB squad history, particularly considering it's normally an area where we go in fairly lean.

😂 The obsession with Goodhue to 12 when he's a deadset centre does make me laugh.

Totally. Probably the only AB to ermege from the SF with an enhanced reputation.

D MacAbout that, but I'd find a place for Akira Ioane. He could be better than Billy Vunipola if he sorts himself out.
We need to find another power Winger as well. Bridge offered not much today to a side under pressure.

I have now abandoned this obsession as Goodhue is probably the best centre in NZ ... currently. Rieko Ioane should have a look there too as he seems to have lost a fraction of his speed. Leicester Fainganuuku has to be tested at SR level but he could struggle to find a place with G. Bridge trusting the left wing spot for the Crusaders.

I’m going to get back on the ennor bandwagon. I’ve watched no NPC but in super rugby he looked a star in the making. Importantly he has size and speed. Hopefully he fulfils his promise in 2020.
-
@Billy-Tell Enor would have offered more of a threat than Bridge against England.

You might want to reconsider you selections to include another hooker or two.
-
Papalii and Jacobson have the necessary grunt and physique to perform at the highest level.
Ben-Nicholas, though untested at the SR level, seems to be a potential FAB at Nr.8.
Nankivell, Jordan and Havili are full of promise.
Alaimalo was not as good this year as he was in 2018 but he has some talent. -

D MacSo on my squad, yeah Hames is a wish list item. Add Coles and Aumua to Taylor as well. Bit of an oversight there!
8 is hugely contentious. Jacobsen might be used there, or Papili'i. There's noone playing 8 at the moment who'll be available who spins my wheels!
I have J Barrett in there as a 12. R Ioane and Ennor as utility three-quarters.

An advert came on TV and I realise where the rot set in
Gatorade launches first ad featuring the All Blacks, welcomes the players to its global team - stoppress.co.nz
The All Blacks ended its 21-year sponsorship with Coca-Cola in January this year and teamed up with Pepsi, aligning itself with its subsidiary Gatorade as its hydration partner. A new ad has been released celebrating the partnership (which features a very serious Sam Cane).
