Crusaders v Hurricanes
-
This will be one hell of a matchup, I think we will see them both in the All Black's outside back race this year. Wouldn't mind seeing them both start together.

SRA form will only be important for the NI vs SI game. AB selection is a long way off (late Oct?) so plenty of time for all injured players to be back.
I thought they were planning on naming an AB squad the Sunday after NI/SI game.

I hadn't heard/read that.
It seems pointless to name an AB squad so early as they will need to play some NPC before the international season starts with a 2 month interval. Injuries could then force late changes.

Given the uncertainty, I think best intentions will be to name the squad early so those that need to be managed can be done so.
I’d imagine some players may need more or less game time and the All Blacks will want some control on that and having them in a squad will enable them to do so.

That would make sense with new assistant coaches. Training camps cost NZR money with assembly fees.

Yeah, I read that somewhere.

The tv coverage of the Crusaders walking from the dressing rooms reminded me of the scene in "This is Spinal Tap" when the band got lost on the way to the stage.
