Just cos we are a bit light in this department, and his last 2 games were solid, I'm going Darry.
He'd have been a bolter at the start of the season but he's been great for a couple of months and deserves an international call-up.

Akira - Razor remembers his history and decides to follow in Main's footsteps, overrules his tubby forwards coach, and tells him not take up the overseas contract like Main's told Zinzan not take up his Japan contract in 1994.
Zinzan would never get picked by today’s AB coaches. Let that sink in.
He's 59 and hasn't been right since he fell out of that taxi. I'm with Razor on this one.

He was the most multi skilled forward I have ever seen.
I'm thinking Sototu and him and basically twins, apart from the chin. -

Someone, I can't remember who mentioned it in one of this forum's multiple all black prediction threads.
-
So 4 Landers have gone to Wellington for a possible All Blacks selection?
-
Theoretically a chance, but highly unlikely. Apparently there was a group of players who weren't involved in the final who went to Wellington to spend some time with the All Blacks coaches. Doesn't mean they will make the final cut. Names were never released.

I said it.
I was told there were 4 Highlanders that were at the camp in Tauranga. I didn’t get names. Obviously not expecting 4 to be selected(most likely only 1 in EDG), but with the Blues Chiefs final they had the chance to get some other players in there for a look. A lot of players there were more of an AB XV chance.

I thought the plan was to bring in a bunch of players to experience the AB set up at various times

@Darren Chay was in England playing for the Baabaa's at the weekend so I reckon that's a pretty good indicator that he's not in the team.
The more I think about it, the more I think there might be a surprise at halfback - i.e. someone who isn't Ratima, Christie or Perenara.

I heard there were two at the camp which took place in Wellington...

Interesting. That would be a shame if so. Still only expecting 1 to make it(EDG).
