    @chris-b I wouldn't disregard Leicester Faingaanuku from gaining a wing spot at 188 m and 109kg. hes big and agressive

    @chris Yep - but, I don't think it will be in the initial 23, though. He barely got a game for the Mako and this is at another level.

    Things can change through the season, though - I'd think there would be several guys in that 23 looking over their shoulders.

    @mariner4life Mate with that forward pack and inside backs/ midfield we could put Susan Boyle on the wing and still win a 10th Title

    It is conceivable after the Japan test that the Crusaders will be able to put out a CV entirely made up of test-capped All Blacks.

    Anyone who gets their first test cap against japan in this coming fixture should instead be referred to as a midweek tourist.

    The initial top 23 doesn't have many questionmarks...

    1. Joe Moody
    2. Codie Taylor
    3. Owen Franks
    4. Scott Barrett
    5. Sam Whitelock (C)
    6. Jordan Taufua
    7. Matt Todd
    8. Kieran Read
    9. Bryn Hall
    10. Richie Mo'unga
    11. George Bridge
    12. Ryan Crotty
    13. Jack Goodhue
    14. Dagg/Mataele/Ennor/Jordan/Punivai? (I hope it's Jordan).
    15. David Havili

    RESERVES
    16. Makalio or Funnell?
    17. Tim Perry
    18. Michael Alaalatoa
    19. Luke Romano
    20. Sanders/Douglas/Blackadder or Harmon?
    21. Mitchell Drummond
    22. Mitchell Hunt
    23. Dagg/Mataele/Ennor/Jordan/Punivai? (If it's Jordan above, then Ennor).

    Havili at 12 and Jordan at 15 when Crotty is inevitably injured.

    Might as well just cancel next years comp and give them the title now. It is basically an All black team.

    That will be managed for the RWC...

    @antipodean Yup, it's already confirmed that they'll have the mandatory 2 games off again, on top of the byes.

    @chris Yeah, and better than the 5 years the Canes signed Billy Proctor for, which is way too long for such a young player.
