Can you point to a body of work at 9 that suggests Carter is anywhere near good enough to be the reserve half back for the ABs?

Finley Christie.

That's not bad for you. Well done.

Leroy Bert Carter (born 24 February 1999) is a New Zealand professional rugby union player who plays as a half-back for National Provincial Championship club Bay of Plenty and the New Zealand national sevens team.

Every time I have seen him play NPC he has been on the wing.

Rugbyhistory is good for position checks, although it lags a year behind:

2019: NZ Under 20: Halfback [4], Sub [3] - 7 games - 1 try (5 pts)

(when the team isn't listed, it's NPC)

In many ways new 10s outside BB and DM are like lambs to the slaughter. They get very little time to prove themselves at All Black level, largely due to the high expectations we have of the men in black.

We need the early season game against a Pacific Island team that we used to employ.

Blood youngsters, smash a minnow, cap and scrap some players so nobody else can have em.

The halcyon days.

Makes sense. Christie was the 9 chosen to come to the AB camp in the days before the AB squad was named for the French series so was 4th in line.

Absolute waste of fuckin time.
Develop a youngster, we already have Roigard and Ratima at test level.

[zedsdeadbaby]

Agreed. If Christie is going to be your 4th best, then you may as well opt for someone new.

[taniwharugby]

If true, one step forward, two back....

[george33]

What's the story with Roigard Newstalk ZB saying he's in doubt to tour.

[zedsdeadbaby]

Apparently Christie has a shoulder injury

that can take some time to heal. 6 to 8 weeks.

I doubt it. All the reports are withdrawn.

I think with this Roigard news it's much more likely he's been cotton wooled.

ABs will need 2 new halfbacks for Argentina.

[canefan]

Ugh

[hikastags]

Apparently a shoulder injury. Might be talking rubbish.
