    I'm more interested in the WTG now.

    Either Kumeroa switches back to LH or O'Neill does. The front row selections seem unbalanced.

    Jayden Sa is a 6 at this level.

    I was told from a very good source that Coombes-Fabling wouldn't be selected as he has knee problems. I guess not.

    So no Dylan Eti or Charlie Sinton. Was hoping to see Reon Paul in there too.

    A squad packed full of All Blacks and All Blacks XV players. They should win easily in 2026.

    the midfield depth for 2026 is suddenly lacking - where are Gideon Wrampling and Rameka Poihipi off to?

    A Top 14 club is chasing his signature after losing two speedsters at the end of last season.

    That's a bummer, but I guess he sees the AB door as being locked. I thought he might switch to the Warriors/NRL.

    He came from there didn't he? Recall legal shenanigans and pretty sure NZR were out of line. ?

    I don't think so, he signed a 5 year deal with the Warriors as a 15 year old but wanted to play rugby. Don't think that's on NZR, you can't enforce contracts signed by 15 year olds.

    What the fuck are they doing with so many fucking locks.
    Looks like a team which will lose at the semis.

    Nah. Guaranteed title. Might as well start the engraving now.

    Well technically two of those locks are 6's also because there's not already enough of them. 🤣

    Jayden Sa would be slightly taller than Finau but shorter than Parker.

    need big seasons from kumeroa and Ahio as prop a bit of a weak area as it has been for a while. and a bit less depth in midfield hopefully brown can step up. he has looked good for the poo.
    the rest is as expected and depth hasn't disappeared in other areas.
    a forth hooker does seem strange wonder if that could have been better served at prop or midfield.
    could be covered in wtg
