You can also see who the AB selectors want to look at, even if they have had minimal playing time in SRA. TTT, for example.
A number of players were unavailable for selection due to injury, including 2019 All Blacks Dane Coles, Scott Barrett, Sam Cane and Ngani Laumape.
I'd like to see a full list as the likes of Robinson, Jacobson and Grace aren't selected either.

where did you find these out ? I can't find it anywhere and the picture is blank for me
Looks like AB's twitter account
Instagram is not only for looking at half-naked women.

only 1 first five for north, no mikaele-tu'u ? these aren't the best teams in the world in terms of current form than what we thought

Sio for the south...he'll never play but surprised at being named

@NateHill74 yeah, MMT is pretty unlucky, Hunt can play first five and has finally found some form

Highlanders.
He's a victim of the format - he'd walk into the South squad and would likely feature in a Possibles-Probables situation.

@KiwiMurph considering those stats that came out yesterday and he featured in almost every category
