Not sure if this has been posted but Caleb Tangitau has joined the ABs squad in London.
That is absurd to me. He has gaping holes in his game he needs to address.

CLW, Josh Beehre and Caleb Tangitau added to the squad as training cover.
Finau and Jacobsen are heading home

Clarke, Jordan, Tangitau - the back 3 for 2027 World Cup?

It sounds exciting but I honestly don't see us winning an RWC with Jordan at 15.
We need someone at fullback with a better aerial game, a better boot, and a better play making ability.

That doesn't have standard clearing kicks on regulation plays go well over his head.

Lol, the WC isn't going to be won or lost depending on whether Jordan plays 15 or 14 for god's sake.

Of course there are other factors but who plays at fullback is still a factor.

It’s so frustrating seeing us piss around picking first choice players on the bench on purpose, front row is insane. Also disappointed we’re going with Ford at 10 instead of investing in Smith (either frankly). Steward isn’t good enough.
The sad thing for me is that I think this AB side is beatable - much more so than it’s felt in the past, and yet we are fiddling around with things we have control over that will potentially cost us the game.
Borthwick is such a lump

@antipodean This All Blacks team is screaming for some X-Factor on the wing.
I wouldn’t describe Clarke nor Carter as X-Factor types. Fainga’anuku is a good ball runner but doesn’t have that top end speed Tangitau has.

For me that's Will Jordan. He really doesn't have the skills to be a Test 15.

Who does? I’m not convinced by Love (I think he is a 10). Who are the alternatives? NZ are crying out for the new Israel Dagg to make his appearance.

So does Reece, so does Carter. So did NMS. So did Jonah.

If you’re feeling sentimental and bored, rewatch the first 2017 lions test again. Dagg was genuinely unreal that game with his kicking and ability to tidy up shit ball. Amazing to think we had Mils, Dagg, Smith consecutively

We've had a real inability to play out of our own half, particularly after receiving kick offs, since Dagg finished.

Ralph Hamilton Bridge sounds like a great name for the next structure built over the Avon.
