Blues 2025

@Daffy-Jaffy Terrell Peita and Liam Hallam Eames have been called into the Blues training squad ,there’s a few players carrying injuries
I would imagine only onboard for preseason games -

-
So non-All Blacks full squad players not there are -
Renata, Sheck, Ake, McWhannell, Christie, Beehre, Sotutu, Clark, Spencer.
Points of interest to me are -
Lam at 12, yay!
Choat at 6 both halves.
Evans at 13 rather than 12.
Forbes on the Wing, he played about 50% of his games for Glasgow there.
Sullivan at 15, Cotter said he may be tried in the midfield this season.
Tupaea at Tighthead, he has only ever played Loosehead for Waikato ( and has never started, always been in 17).
Looks like young Nathanial Pole is the important 4th Hooker backup. I do like how Cotter backs youth.
All the new players picked in this years squad are 19 - 23 years old.Edit: also Hamdahn Tuipulotu on the bench, adding to the parade of extra props involved at training. Makes me a bit concerned about the health of the squad props.
