2020 All Blacks Squad

Its going to make SR 20/20 very interesting, a new Coach usually means some causalities from the year before especially after WC.
If it ends up being Robertson he will I imagine like he has at the Crusaders plan for future years through to the next WC.
You would expect whoever gets the Coaches Job will do the same and will be looked at as the coach for the 4 year Cycle in some form in the contract.
It would be unwise to replace a coach half way through the 4 year cycle. -

yep, certainly a danger if you tie someone up for 4 years...should be 2 years with extension option dependant on specific performance/development criteria

Goodhue and ALB look like the new Nonu and Smith. They could be the starting midfield for 10 years. Most settled part of the team.
Just need to get them playing for the same SR team. I.e. Auckland...

Four tests starting together and they are the most “settled”
We really do have problems. Razor to the rescue

The Junior All Blacks were originally an Under 23 Team and famously beat the real All Blacks 14 - 10 at Carisbrook in 1973 under the captaincy of Bruce Gemmell.
Yeah I remember some consternation when they originally announced the name. I always preferred Shadow All Blacks personally.
