Ruben Love should be picked for the All Blacks as a First Five this year. That's the back-up to DMac right there.
He's looking more accomplished than Perofeta, so, hard to argue against.

Perofeta hasn't made himself into a regular squad member, and barely played when he is in the squad. At his age, if he was going to make an impact he would have done it already

That Second Row partnership should be sponsored by the British health and wellbeing company.

Thought both Norris and Dyer stood up for the Chiefs this weekend. Could be the next cabs off the ranks.

So from reports, Ofa's injury sounds worse than first thought. Who realistically comes in? Obviously fans of teams are gonna pick their guys to come in, but who sticks out from the rest of the contenders?

I guess they'll also be looking at someone who can play on both sides of the scrum, like Ofa can.

Is Saula Ma'u worth a look? Don't think he's the finished article, but I think he has a bit if potential to get better.

you know robertson will pic bower
You could almost guarantee that, right or wrong, he will go with what he’s more comfortable with. Jase Ryan also has that relationship with him

@African-Monkey Is he playing better than any of the other tighthead props? Would seem to be well down the list.

I know they’ve already had eyes on him for a year or 2 down the line. The slight surprise AB XV selection last year shows they are watching him.
His form this year though is a slight concern, not playing at the level he was last year. His minutes have seen a huge increase as well with Kautai struggling to be available consistently.
Still young enough to turn the corner though, there’s a solid player in there. Not in the frame this season though.

Any particular reports, not seen anything? Necks are tricky injuries for props. Was very pleasantly surprised Angus T recovered so well from his.
