2020 All Blacks Squad
-
Always difficult to pick future teams, form fluctuations, and as we see so often in Nz , freak talent emerges from nowhere and we ( or I do based overseas ) think where did this guy come from.
I’d be inclined to leave goodhue at 13, agree with the thoughts, natural 13s are difficult to find .

Danny Toala for the 12 jersey. You heard it here first! :smiling_face_with_halo:
Can Jonah Lowe not cover 12?

@cgrant again with the Goodhue to 12 nonsense. Do you hate him? He's a brilliant centre. Outstanding, looking like following in Connie's footsteps. But sure put him at 12 to accommodate a guy who is an excellent winger.
Why wouldn't you just put Ennor at 12 if he's such a good midfielder?

It is just because Robertson has used this combo this year and with Jordan, Fainganuuku, Bridge, Reece and Mateale in his squad, I guess he will play Ennor in midfield, with the 13 jersey. This is not my wish, it's a guess. BTW, Goodhue has played very well a few times as a 2nd Five for Northland.

@cgrant James Blackwell is VG at lock in the NPC.
He goes ok for Petone as well if that is a further endorsement.

Well in that case, Cam Incledon strikes me as a bloody good utility for the RWC squad.

Hard not to recognise how much BBBR will be missed!

@sparky Alex Nankivell is worth watching as a midfield option - he's become a very good player over the past 12 months.

If the ABs are set on the Beau-unga combo then it would be awesome to see DMac have a crack at the Sevens for the Olympics. You wouldn't want to give him the tiniest bit of space.

If he is OK upon return. Let's hope he doesn't do a NMS and have no form and little speed when recovered

Unlike NMS he actually had speed beforehand.

The next set of All Blacks coaches need to work hard on making these lads, especially the forwards, better players.
Or the era of English dominance is going to be a long one.......
