@Chris Beehre? Has hardly played NPC and hasn't shown much. Didn't shine for the U20s either. Way too soon IMO.

Just one for the future for me not maybe straight after the WC but maybe the 2 years after.

[Bovidae]

Josh Dickson would only be 28 in 2023.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yeah, was thinking the same.

If he stays in NZ, I think Scooter will be the senior lock. Vaa'i and Lord will probably be there and Gallagher and Dickson have a good chance, too. I don't think our locking stocks are that bad.

Big factor will also be who the ABs coach is after RWC 2023.

Vaa'i has been given a few chances and has shown fuck all so far.
Not saying he should be dropped, but he has hardly set the world on fire.

If it's Foster, he'll stick with Whitelock and recall Ian jones. Loyalty and all that.

[Bovidae]

Holland might be the U20 lock who makes the step up first.

I think Selby-Rickit would go well if given the chance. 26years old, so about to enter the prime years for a tight forward

I thought Hicks showed well this year and is the same age, looks like he can cover 6 too. But another from Ta$man eh.

[Tim]

@Bones Guess where he's actually from.

@Frank the coaches like ScoBa and Tupou Vaa'i

I know there's been a need to play the A team as we always have our backs to the wall, but Vaa'i needs more game time and I think the coaches know that.

Hope he gets a decent run in Bled 2.

I thought he was older than that. Seems like he has been around for ages.

Geez really? I only remember him for like 3 or 4 seasons.

I wouldn't be surprised if my muddled brain has him confused with someone else from years ago. All the Highlander locks look the same to me.

Remembered a story about Sam Darry moving to Auckland and Steve Hansen saying ‘congratulations, you’ve just signed a future all black captain’. Anyone else recall this?
