          @Canes4life That was a contribution from the writer, not a quote from Hansen.

              @Canes4life Ha ha, they did it even though Hansen went to pains to emphasize that he wouldn't name anyone.

                2 or 3 surprises. So does that mean 2 or 3 players beyond the multitudes that have already either been capped, played a match, been in a training squad, or Akira? Because none of those would be a surprise

                  My guess is Braydon Ennor must be impressing!

                      Why? He's heading overseas. He's good but not so good that he will force himself into a farewell RWC squad.

                        You'd think he has an out clause

                          @booboo

                          I think he’s re-found the form he needed to show about 2 years ago (thanks Tana!), so it’s probably too late for him to really get established before he runs out of gas; there are too many really good young outsides coming. I know he’s only 25, but most top out at 27, so that’s not much time; he’d be unlikely for the next RWC, for example.

                          That’s a shame for the Blues as he is a key piece of their puzzle right now. If I were him, I’d go get paid.

                            As much as I am a Canes fan, on song Smith is untouchable

                            https://www.rugbypass.com/news/analysis-aaron-smith-is-undoubtedly-the-all-blacks-best-halfback-option/

                            They are a great 1/2, quite different, and I can't wait for TJ to top Homophobe to SR top try record

                                    @Yeahtheboys seems reasonable, tho SBW will start of fit imo. Experience and all that. It's not as cut and dried as first reading, some will miss test, so maybe based on workload

                                      Would like to see Hodgman get a run. Good around the field, but needs to be tested in the scrum at a high level. Better player than Moli IMO.

                                        @Yeahtheboys I don't think any Blues players will be available for this game...

                                          @Yeahtheboys said in 2019 Rugby Championship:

                                          Tu’inukuafe

                                          I think the coaches will have him doing laps.
