All Blacks 2024

Miles to early to be selecting ABs I know, but at this early stage both Jacobson and Sotutu are throwing hands in air for 8. I thought Jacobson was absolutely huge against Brumbies yesterady, looked like he was on search and destroy mission for anyone in Brumbies jersey. Sotutu was certainly letting everyone know he was there on Friday night with ball in hand.

Sullivan has the highest ceiling IMO. Love and Stephenson seem lost at times, especially in defence. Sullivan's huge left boot is a weapon. That would allow us to get rid of Jordie Barrett's banana kicks to find touch after penalties on the right side of the pitch.

What on earth has Sotutu been eating during the off season as he's been playing like an absolute beast this year. Admittedly early doors but gracious, he really seems to have bulked up and added a lot of power to his game.
Funny you say that because watching him live on the weekend he actually looked leaner/smaller than when I last saw him live

As you say it early doors as yet, but it's good seeing who strats season hot. Sotutu is playing the beast as is bloody Luke Jacobson, who was absolutely burying Brumbies on Sunday. Just quietly so is Tupou Vai.

@sparky the way Fakatava is playing I wouldn't mind Roigard starting with Fakatava's razzle off the bench.
-
Roigard showed serious pace chasing Telea in the intercept try.

Cam Roigard must be the first-choice All Blacks Half Back.
The contest is against daylight for second place.
-
Yeah half of the ABs will be Canes this year.
-
@BerniesCorner I wouldn't say that but Proctor, Love and Lakai should be in contention. Early days yet.
-
It amazes me where all the talent comes from year after year from a small country.
The backline:
Roigard, DMac, JB, Higgins, Jordan, Telea, Nareki, Love, Reiko , Jacob RK ...
Awesome -

Lakai? Can't see it at all.

Fakatava is still horribly inconsistent throughout a game. Needs to not turn the ball over so much.

@Bones fair enough, I thought he was epic tonight, he outplayed Dalton for me. He's also one of those guys that are built for test rugby, can play 7 and 8 to a high standard and is only going to get better. Might be too early for him this year but I've got no doubt he will be an AB one day.
