@Tim said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
If you watch the documentary about the last world cup, the footage makes clear that Rieko Ioane's distribution and running lines were both sublime. Best centre in the world by a mile.
He's getting there and has to be first of the AB team sheet, but I'd rate Am (when fit) and Fickou above him.

Richard Knowler doesn't seem to know exactly who will be in the AB squad.

Liam Napier's squad is pretty much who I'd pick - except I'd only pick three of the wings and I'd pick Plummer as a third first five.
And I wouldn't have a bracket in the loose forwards.
On The Breakdown last night Goldie said they'd heard that there will be four young guys added to the 32 to train with the team.
