All Blacks squad - The Rugby Championship

@Kirwan said in All Blacks squad - The Rugby Championship:
@Machpants I wonder what questions the Kremlin will allow?
"I'm just here to discuss the squad".
The squad to tour South Africa for the All Blacks’ first two matches of the Rugby Championship will be announced at 1.30pm with Foster to hold a press conference in Auckland at 2pm.
It is understood that Foster, who has been under huge pressure since the series loss to Ireland, will front the media on Friday afternoon to discuss the Rugby Championship squad and present a ‘where to now’ plan for All Blacks fans.

Às per the other thread - even with Schmidt subbing Fox at the selection table, he will presumably have some different views on various players - and if he's taking a more hands on role coaching, then he'll presumably have a few different philosophies about how we should play.
As a result, we might see a few different backs, especially. A new midfielder in the team wouldn't surprise me - though who it could be and how he would be accommodated - there's quite a few possibilities.

‘where to now

@Chris-B Are Clarke and Goodhue going to be fit?
No idea, but you'd certainly hope so given they were picked to play Ireland. I guess, in fairness, it seemed Jack got injured at training.

Which test did Jack Goodhue get injured before? He was out test 1 for Covid wasn't he?
edit: snap. -

I don't remember Goodhue being injured, just Covid related which took him out of 2 tests as he was taking longer to get over it than others.

Friday afternoon press conferences, oldest trick in the book….
So let's wait till Monday ...

80 minutes to the new learnings.
Prediction:
Homage to Cane, reflection that Ireland was better on the day (for much of the 3 tests), and it was a bit of an eye opener that changing tactics and establishing players in positions actually helped teams play better. Oh and announcing a new assistant coach and a current one (" not Plummer because I'm scared of him") to move onto catering. -

Wonder which of their United Championship Teams he has landed a role with?

All social and usual channels according to the comms.
Stuff is an easy one but ABs FB/Insta/Twitter would probably work too. -

@Crucial The ones I've checked don't yet have a video link up - I'm wondering if they're going to put that up or we'll just get a team list and Stuff comments link.
It's a whole hour away. Gee you are keen.
Stuff almost always runs live feeds with a comments section below. If they aren't then check SkySport and/or FB etc.
