      "Without hesitation, Spencer says he’s a fullback in 15s after switching from the All Blacks Sevens programme"

      Nothing new there. However I think he'll have a better chance of making the 23 if he can cover wing too

      Assuming one of the 10's at 15, Sullivan possibly in the midfield. Spencer might be competing with Forbes for chances

        He looks a bit more filled out than 12 months ago. Not sure he will get much game time this year but excited to see him when he does get a chance

                    I think that could be Randall Baker, who could be one of the NDC players. A no.8.

                              That article didn't mention Suafoa. I think it's probably a battle between him and Segner for the vacant spot

                              I like the idea of Clark as a sub using his speed in the last 20. That probably requires Segner in the starting trio though

                                Shek out until April and Ben Ake out for 8-10 weeks. Both
                                rehabbing after shoulder surgeries.
                                That likely explains picking 7 props in the squad plus 3 extras at training.
