It's gonna be interesting for Razor to potentially feel a bit of a heat for the first time in his career if some of these selections are true.
True, but apart from the Scott Barrett for captain which seems like an open secret, how good are the sauces for any of these rumours about the 32?

From what I remember @chchfanatic is usually pretty bang on with Razor knowledge

I’m sure Savea will be a big part of the leadership team and will also captain at times.
I don’t want diversity picks, I want the best captain the coach wants.
Media wise - he can improve. Richie was hardly that great in front of the media.

@Machpants Says who?
Me, he's going to Japan, bye bye, enjoy the yen.
The yen is the peso these days. Trying to support two kids at NZ uni with a Japanese salary is not easy! Having said that, the Japanese companies are making serious money in the current situation so will have cash to throw around!

Picking a non white as opposed to picking the right person for the job , regardless of colour etc

So complete bollocks when talking about who's likely to be AB captain then.
-
Yup!
-
I don’t mind Barrett as captain and I think a big part of that is he is a certain selection, probably the first forward picked atm with our locking stocks.
-
There's an argument for picking Sotutu and Sititi in the 23
-
@KiwiMurph I don’t know who the captain is. I would think it would be Scott Barrett. But I got a feeling it’s going to be Ardie.
Only 3 locks picked. SB Paddy and Vaai. Finau as cover. This is if Paddy is fit. -

@Machpants NZ worst kept secret at the moment is that Scott Barrett is going to be the new captain.
I'd have gone with Ardie if I'm honest. Humble bloke, smart, respected by everyone in world rugby, reigning World Player of the Year, great with the media, empties the tank every time he wears the black jersey.
What more do you want from a captain?
referee communication.

What time (NZ) is the team announced?
