@Bones said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
My source says no Finau, Blackadder in, no DMac, Havili in, no Proctor, McLeod in, no Tuipulotu, Hannah in.
Maybe
George Bridge for one of the wing spots ?
That's what someone said.

Nice.
Our opponents will be expecting fast and explosive and instead they’ll get slower, steady and sometimes reliable. Genius coaching.

@Bones ya had me at the start, not gonna lie... but no Dmac was too obvious.
I knew it was BS when he didn't mention Blackadder at 10.
-
Lol imagine if this was our forward pack to face England in a few weeks. Full of x-factor, power and speed that lot.
- De Groot
- Taylor
- Newell
- Barrett
- Strange
- Blackadder
- Cane
- Grace

Could be maybe 50/50 though.
Nah I had to include one that was obviously wrong, otherwise what's the point in having such a reliable sauce?

McLeod over Proctor was a stretch aswell but I've seen crazier selections happen.

@Duluth said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
If there's 5 loosies and two of them are Ardie & Cane, there's only three places for SR players. If Blackadder takes up one of them then there's only two loosies with meaningful SR form
Remember when Canes fans were talking about how many loosies they were going to have in the squad? It could easily be zero from this years team
got any spare popcorn @mariner4life

@Chris-B not sure if Devlin can be trusted in any way, his contact is himself most likely
That wouldn't surprise me in the least!
I think Scott is probably the favourite to get the job so it's probably not a bad call if you want to look "informed".
The meetings could be interesting if someone asks, ‘What do you think, Scott?’!

I wouldn’t laugh too much, I reckon about half of them are absolute shoe ins

@Chris So you no the Squad them ?
Nope just rumours you only have to read some of the dribble on this thread to know some people are going to spit their dummies.
Prepared to spit mine if:
- Strange makes the squad
- Havili makes it in front of anyone except Billy Proctor (am lukewarm on him for some reason, yet to drink the Hurricane flavour aid)
- Grace makes it and Finau doesn't
Otherwise, meh

Or Love. Have hopes for him but could live without him at this stage of his career/this year

He's got time on his side. Probably benefits from time in the setup as a fringe player outside the squad, then goes away to heal from his injuries
-
Nobody seems to mention lineout and heights, likely smaller 6 (than SF) and locks, I wonder if that will influence selection in the loosies..
-
I think Finau is a lock-in. Ryan is a big fan judging by previous comments.

Not if Finau is 6.
