    DH has had a really good season, but the midfield is absolutely stacked. If you include him then who do you leave out?

          The more I think about it the more I would like to see Reihana in black right now

          He is a proper 10 with a proper kicking game. Something we are crying out for.

          I hope he gets treated better than Plummer, another proper 10 who won the SR title before being selected

              @KiwiMurph It ain't pretty, but he can do a job there.

              Quinn Tupaea Vs Jordie Barrett for the 12 jersey is a very tight call.

              Razor prolly still loves DH...

              Probably a lock for the squad ugh

                          The urgency to find a 10 who can consistently control the game is growing.

                                  @sparky I think that hotham isn’t quite ready for test footy yet - I honestly think that Christie has come back and played his best footy of his career this year and could/should make his way back

                                  @jamsb Hotham did okay against Fiji and in the All Blacks XV games last year. He didn't let the Crusaders down this season either.

                                  Christie did well in the Blues' last few games, but I think there are other Half Backs available who offer the All Blacks more variety and more of an attacking threat.

                                      I think this is going to be the strongest ABs squad since 2017.

                                      6, 10 and the wings are the only positions where we aren't stacked.

                                      Some bloody good players are going to miss out of the 35.

                                        I think this is going to be the strongest ABs squad since 2017.

                                        6, 10 and the wings are the only positions where we aren't stacked.

                                        Some bloody good players are going to miss out of the 35.
