@HLD2023Champions said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
Anyone predicting any other Highlanders but EDG to make the squad?
Fakatava the only other possibility. EDG and Fakatava were the only two present at last week's camp.
-
pub quiz: which national / international team has Scott Robertson coached previously? clue: depending on your quibble I count 3. And one isn't well known but I doubt is one any other AB coach has coached.

@frugby said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
Why would players in the squad be flying to Christchurch? Presumably the camp is in Auckland, and in any case I thought they weren't meeting until midweek.
Usually new ABs are at the AB announcements for interviews/photos
-
@HLD2023Champions possibly Mitchell P Dunshea, heard from one of my sources that he’d been lurking around the streets of Tauranga last week

Connor Garden-Bachop’s funeral is in Christchurch today. I think a lot of people are getting their wires crossed.

@Tim said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
So, last year the ABs had a rather bad run with cards. Red against SA, two Yellows against France, then Red again against SA. What's the plan to fix this?
(Of course, Kolisi hit Savea head to head, and maybe in the air from a lineout take - Barnes is an absolute fuckwit.)
TMO and the in-room WR Commisars protecting the professional victims and Rugby Jesus from fair and unbiased officiating? ... fair play to Barnesy he did refer it.

Funeral is at Linwood rugby club tomorrow at 2pm.
The All blacks will be meeting and training in Wellington. -

Enough with your facts.

Let's just pick them all. If we start 30 players instead of 15 our chances of winning will sky rocket.
-
@Canes4life Jokes aside, it shows how tough these teams are to pick. You could probably make a reasonable argument for nearly any one of those players to be included barring the odd rogue one.
There isn't a lot between a lot of those players either, and by the halo effect, some of these guys will get 50+ caps, and others will get 0. It really is brutal.

We are going to have a very strong AB XV that's for sure.
