Thought this was cool

For the 3rd halfback spot, I go for Kyle Preston.
Sounds like Parker will come in.
Bloody shame about Tangitau not been ready, so I'd call up Leroy Carter (or possibly have Carter as the 3rd halfback)@Frank said in All Blacks 2025:

Better halfback than wing, in my opinion.

Think it was 2023 he played a bit for BOP at halfback .

There were 33 squad members named for French.
The addition of Darry seems quite straightforward.
Which means another body required.
If Lakai added, will it be an addition, or to replace, say, Kirifi?
Might still be another required.
They could add Havili, increasing midfielders to 7!
Then add in injury cover, Narawa, Dyer, etc. -

@zedsdeadbaby
I remember him at Halfback off the bench for BoP when they smashed Manawatu in the Championship sem final at the Hangi Pit. If that wasn't his debut it would be one of his first few NPC games. That season was on the back of him being NZ U20 Halfback -

There's no need for Havili - they have enough fullbacks and 12s.

Are you sure ? He’s so experienced and he can cover 10 as well

Such a great leader. Look at his co captain exploits for AUNZ

Well I guess that settles it.
Case closed! -
@brodean would add a genuine kicking option too.
