    Can the All Blacks convert Tupou Vaa'i into a destructive back row enforcer?

    Can the All Blacks convert Tupou Vaa'i into a destructive back row enforcer?

    The missing link in the All Blacks' armoury is an athletic, big-boned No 6 and Scott Robertson thinks he's found the answer

    It's probably been covered already, but what's happened to Folau Fakatava? Do the coaches not like him?

    It’s sounding like he could possibly be on his way to camp based off what someone just messaged me. Be interesting to see if it’s accurate or if it's announced.

    Update: They could also be pulling my leg so any updates I get I’ll post as it happens.

    It seems weird if true why they would want a 4th HB.

    I hope so. I don't know why he's been frozen out like this.

    Is Vaai capable of consistently busting out the kind of truck stopping hits that JC and JK were so good at ?

    Actually maybe with the judiciary the way it is nowadays he shouldn’t use them as inspiration

    Kyle Preston limped off training with an injured ankle so Xavier Roe is likely to be in the AB 23 for Saturday.

    At least that guy had played a number of games for the All Blacks. And he had a full bag of white bait.....

    I see similarities between Christie and Beaver , a couple of maligned players , knocked for their skill level but I think it’s fair to say if we look for positives don’t lack ticker physically.

    Watching Razor in press conferences is very interesting. I like his energy, he often makes an effort to engage positively with the person (with a a smile or a quip) who posed the question and he's so polite. He's kind of a breath of fresh air since so.many coaches can be grumpy and curt. The downside is sometimes he seems to get tripped up in what he is trying to say and he lacks the poise of say, Steve Hansen. I noticed the South African journalist who asked him about the Eden Park record really seemed to throw him off.

    It seems like he would be better off taking questions with another coach alongside him or a NZR official with him to help navigate them .
