<p>Savea transcends some mere position. Other players might have a position, but Savea has evolved beyond such mundane trivialities. He simply plays 'The Savea'</p> -
<p>Possible calls :</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Props : Tu'ungafasi (only for a training session IMO)</p>
<p>Hookers : recall of Parsons</p>
<p>Locks : Barrett (too early for Seu)</p>
<p>Loose forwards : Taufua, Savea, Squire, Ioane (EOYT) (too early for Fifita and Gibson)</p>
<p>Midfield : None (too early for Laumape, Thompson and Tamanivalu, maybe Buckman for the EOYT if he is fit to play in the ITM Cup)</p>
<p>Wingers : Lowe, Ioane (EOYT)</p>
<p>FB : McKenzie</p> -

<p>Parsons? I don't expect him back in black, unless Coles, Taylor, H Elliott, A Dixon and Coltman are all injured.</p> -

<p>Yes, definitely! There's nothing strange about the idea that Buckman could be an All Black. He was huge for the Highlanders last year and was in the NZ Barbarians squad for a good reason. Laumape and Thompson are well behind him in the queue (don't think they will be considered this year, if they will be at all). It's an incredible setback for him that he got seriously injured during that pre-season game against Racing92. Unfortunately, he's still about 4 months away from playing again.</p> -

<p>This is the Fern. I've never known a player to have support from supposed rugby intellects quite like the Barracuda.</p> -
He's from Hawkes Bay. Of course he's going to be an AB, they're the bestest players ever

<p>God you Of Plenty boys are pissy ;), it wasn't even a HB fan who originally mentioned him.</p> -
It was inevitable though. Every selection thread inevitably turns to what HB players have or haven't been picked

Next they'll be telling us "The Bay" refers to BOP, not HB. Sacrilegious. </p>
