    Unless Super Rugby form means absolutely nothing, I think Sam Darry should be given an All Blacks call. He has flourished in recent weeks under Vern Cotter's direction.

    Did I imagine it, or is Sotutu eligible (after stand-down period) for some other countries? Definitely Fiji, maybe Australia?

    Will Greenwood: Why wouldn't England talk to Hoskins Sotutu?

    Will Greenwood: Why wouldn't England talk to Hoskins Sotutu?

    With news emerging this week that Blues and Super Rugby sensation Hoskins Sotutu qualifies to potentially play for England on the Test stage, Will Greenwood has told Sky Sports: Why wouldnt England talk to him?

    Asafo Aumua will be pissed. He showed better form than Bell has over the last couple years and wasn’t considered for that very reason. Now Bell gets in despite being pretty inconsistent all year.

    Different coaches.

    Man, the nerves of a first AB squad naming for 2024 is really getting to some.

    But I’ll too have my pitchfork ready if Moody, Franks, Bell, Strange, Christie, Grace, Lio-Willie, Havili (oops he’ll make it), Ennor, Jordan don’t make it.

    Will Jordan's still injured. I'm fairly certain he'd be in everyone's squad if fit.

    @Tim His mother is English. Eddie Jones was in conversation with him before he was firstly picked for the ABs.

    Steve Borthwick and the RFU would be insane not to throw a lot of money at Hoskins Sotutu if he is unwanted by the ABs. He would be an utterly transformational player for English Rugby.

    Wow, anyone would think a form player has never missed selection before...

    Razor should just name the entire Blues squad, throw in a couple of Barretts and be done with it.

    Hard to think of a time before when the NZ Super Rugby player of the season has been totally overlooked by the selectors. Not picking Hoskins Sotutu for the AB squad would be a genuine jaw-dropper.

    Got a list of the players of the year? That might make it easier to think of one.

    By the looks of things you could throw in a couple of canes fans in the delighted category.
