Gregor Paul suggests an AB backline:
A back three of Havili, Will Jordan and Caleb Clarke, a midfield of Jordie Barrett and Rieko Ioane, with Aaron Smith and Beauden Barrett as playmakers and the All Blacks may have their deadliest backline in years.
@Rancid-Schnitzel you better get the tissues ready before reading this !!!!!

@tim Havili?
Reece, Leicester both ahead of him as a wing, surely?

I read it as Havili at 15.

Havili? Nah.
Rather have Reece on the wing and Jordan at 15.
Swapping last year's 12 & 15 ... ?

@crazy-horse Gregor must be picking from Fozzies coaching manual...
Lets shift our 12 from last year to 15, a position he hasnt played at super for 2 seasons, or in black for 4? and move the guy that has been playing 15, to 14 (obviously this isnt quite as bigger deal)

Yeah I was thinking along the same lines. That would be a backline of players playing in differing degrees of unfamiliar positions.
On a side note, I can't remember a bunch of ABs like this lot whose best position is arguable. Both Barretts, both Ioanes, Jordan, DH, Savea, Papalii, Blackadder, Goodhue, ALB. I am sure I have missed one or two.

@yeahtheboys you are joking with those props???? Delusional mate.

See above. Foster seems to be surrounding himself with consultants. It's chapter two of "Shit Managers Handbook". A book I know well from contracting and consulting for decades.
Depends if the consultants actually add useful input and value or do what they usually do - regurgitate the latest bullshit from management "gurus" with zero knowledge of running an enterprise.
If Cron and Strawbridge can add value and specialist knowledge that's currently missing to actually improve stuff, then fine by me. Whether or not Foster and co. should have all the knowledge they need is another argument, though a very valid one.

I've barely watched a minute of rugby this year but now I'm ready to get back into the game! Fůck I'm ahead of the curve. When JB leads us to RWC glory next year at 12 all the naysayers can go root a giraffe.

I still remember his play in the last Lions tour, his distribution was excellent

He was probably the best player on the park and he was only 19. Yet there were still people desperate to write him off.

He put a try on a plate for Julian S, but he shelled it. That was the series win right then and there

Stuart Lancaster on the potential flaw in New Zealand rugby
Stuart Lancaster has suggested that New Zealand rugby might be guilty of being too insular and could fall victim to 'group think'.

So, no ALB in your team ?No, I still like ALB but I like the idea of game breakers in the Backline.
To put ALB in I would have to put Ioane back on the wing,and I like Leicester in there with Clarke as a line breaker to bring on latter.Although I would be happy to swap Leicester and Reiko and have them the other way around.
ALB would be next if There was a injury or loss of form. -

Interesting the below quote is this Schmidt’s role.
“I wonder whether they maybe need someone in from the outside, just asking those other questions. Because the game does evolve, the game in the northern hemisphere has evolved, as will the game in the southern hemisphere. I think it’s critical: top quality people.

Unfortunately for reasons known to no-one other than rugby coaches, Leicester will miss out to Ennor.
