@KiwiMurph Amazing that they want to persist with a player who is poor at the core roles - ball carrying, defence.

Yeah but he covers fullback and first five

Anybody have a clue who these two guys are that Jordan's talking to? I have a hunch about both but that hunch just seems unlikely so maybe I'm just not seeing who they actually are.

Two more visitors from Christchurch?

Unsure who those guys with Jordan are, but these camps almost always only involve players who were in squads in 2025 (generally guys who actually played) and don't tend to exclude anyone who was picked in the most recent squad.
I wouldn't read too much into who was there.

@Bones The right one is Hotham
Another strike against Jordan, he's a fucking midget.

Hotham is listed at 1.81cm, so not quite 6ft
Must make Jordan about 4 ft 11 in that photo

I had thought that it was Sam Darry left and Noah Hotham standing on a box
I guess this makes the most sense? The box-thing's a little weird, though.

Lord is in another photo, different shirt and different hair.
In another photo, Hotham can be seen wearing the hat and shirt-combo. Still a very strange picture, though. Probably just a confusing perspective through angle and focal length.

We desperately need some rugby.
What, you don't enjoy this particular circle of hell, where we endlessly analyze AB PR photos and make "Michael Manson bench"-jokes?
I think it's pretty neat, as far as eternal suffering goes.

Looks like the photographer may have been a dwarf , or someone kneeling down behind with the angle of photo .beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: .
C'mon rugby, get started. I getting desperate, even looking working out how tall photographers are!!!!:anxious_face_with_sweat:

Funnily enough, the one on the right is Noah Hotham. He’s wearing the same top and hat a in a separate photo if you scroll a few more times. My guess for the one on the left is Darry.
Hotham has to be standing on a chair or something. Well done to the photographer for keeping us on our toes.
