All Blacks bolters

[Darren]

I really can’t see a bolter that people are not considering.
But if I had to pick someone totally out of the blue that hasn’t ever had a mention I’d throw Chay Fihaki out there.

@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.

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 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).

'Sam Cane is going to be named in the squad' Devlin?

@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.

@Frank His sauces are bloody good.

Logan Savory in the Southland Tribune (a Substack newsletter) back in April opined about the possibility of Tosi making the ABs. Not bad!
