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.

Sorry I’m a bit lost, what’s the news about 4 Highlanders going to Wellington? Can someone please inform me lol
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.

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

Did anyone say Tosi?
Martin Devlin.
'Sam Cane is going to be named in the squad' Devlin?

@Frank said in All Blacks bolters:
@Mr-Fish
It seems he will be when fit.
Gotta hand it to Devlin, that was a great call.I mean, he might be. But that's public knowledge. It was also public knowledge that Cane wasn't going to be considered for July so Devlin has worse than public knowledge in that instance.
