@booboo Probably Drummond.
Good god, no. Super rugby is his ceiling.
He's got a pretty similar game to TJP on attack. Although that was a bit pants last year.

@tim yeah Christie and Drummond would cause cardiologists around NZ to be on high alert. Both have massive “work ons” and that’s putting it kindly.
Just go back to TTT or give the Northland fella a go.

Fakatava would be my choice TTT has done nothing, Hall sucks behind a poor pack, Drummond has known for poor option taking and Christie depends on his mood.

neither is Nock you Northland fanatics
dont think any Northland fans have promoted him as such, that said, he should still be in the same conversation as the likes of Christie, Roe, Roigard etc for a spot.

The only other two real option isRoe...
The only problem is that he is very green. Although getting him into all blacks camp would be very good for him.

See my post on the Smith thread. I don't rate Roe's passing that highly and although he is young and can improve there has been little sign of work in that area so far this year.

Ta'avao or Lomax to get a lifeline? It won't matter for the Tonga/Fiji tests.
Powerhouse All Blacks prop Ofa Tuungafasi looks like being an absentee from the July tests against Tonga and Fiji, though might be back when it really matters in the Rugby Championship. Tuungafasi was a notable defection from the Blues lineup to face the Highlanders in Saturday’s Super Rugby Trans- Ta$man final at Eden Park (kickoff 7.05pm), with coach Leon MacDonald revealing he was set to go under the knife to repair an ongoing knee issue.

Moli?
Ah, had forgotten about him. Is he fit now?
@Bovidae will have the best info, I imagine, but he's playing club footy at least.

@bovidae said in All Blacks 2021:
Moli only played the one game for the Chiefs and I don't think he went to Aust. That implies he isn't 100% fit. I don't know if he has played for Varsity since then.
Laulala, Ta'avao and Lomax is enough for these tests.
I love him, but fuck that. Bring Moli in and get him up to speed or test out Newell (who will be an AB one day).

@gt12 I'd select Ta'avao over Lomax myself. Better scrummaging through SR and not prone to get carded for poor tackle technique.
I'm not sold on Lomax either, but Ta'avao's scrummaging and general play is worse than Mafileo. He should even start at the Chiefs.
