After a test season not playing 10 then not playing Super Rugby 2024 (plus his poor form at 10 in recent years) there's no way he should be parachuted in at 10 for ABs.

Christie, Beauden, Grindlay,Reiko, Talea, Jordan,Jordie looks ok probably dreaming on Grindlay but Razzor will have few Bolters and McKenzie of the bench with Roigard and ALB

I don't want Christie 9 Beauden 10 at the Blues let alone the ABs. At least Foster this year kept Beauden away from the 10 shirt. At this stage of his career he ain't good enough to be ABs starting 10.

the turnaround in 2002 from Ireland/SA #1 was getting BB out of the 10 shirt and never letting him back in.

Those days are numbered.

@KiwiMurph maybe not but my information is that Beauden will return by round 11

@KiwiMurph Beauden signs 4 year deal must have been conversation

yeah....but a stint in Japan should see him right....

george33

@Kiwiwomble Maybe but he will return for Super and Tests next season, the Calls been made

Kiwiwomble

@george33 maybe what?

no one is arguing he will be back in NZ after his stint overseas, but no one knows what the squad will look like at this point surely

10s who we got McKenzie, Perofeta,and the rest ? Cameron, don't think so any other names

@Kiwiwomble Lol 100%. Every time George posts my brain hurts trying to decipher what he's saying.

@george33 Ruben Love, Zarn Sullivan, Alex Harford the possibility of converting Jordie and possibly Dave Havilli. A few young ones coming up, we will have to wait and see. Even playing a halfback like Roigard.

@foobaNZ my brain hurts just seeing that latest post. I mean Christie and Beauden starting in the halves next year under Razor. By God.

Props are pretty sorted. Seem to have 4 we can rely on.
Hooker. Is Taylor still around? Even if he is, i think it's time we moved on from him being the #1
Lock we probably need to find 3
Blindside is right open
Openside seems sorted
#8 we will need to find at least one more. That seems to be difficult as Ardie justifiably plays every minute of every test and never seems to slow down let alone break
Halfback. Seems we have two picked. Need another.
10 is wide open
Midfield we have the starting 2. ALB has never let anyone down but not sure he's an impact option. Probably room for a couple more.
Wings are good
Fullback is wide open, though BB coming back i guess means he gets first chop at it.

Of course all of the above is not taking in to account Surfboard Jesus having wildly different opinions about how he wants to play and with who.

That's an enormous amount of resource finding for a new coaching group to have to do in Year 1.
