          So on my squad, yeah Hames is a wish list item. Add Coles and Aumua to Taylor as well. Bit of an oversight there!

          8 is hugely contentious. Jacobsen might be used there, or Papili'i. There's noone playing 8 at the moment who'll be available who spins my wheels!

          I have J Barrett in there as a 12. R Ioane and Ennor as utility three-quarters.

                I'm really appreciating the humorous posts this morning, thanks.

                😂 The obsession with Goodhue to 12 when he's a deadset centre does make me laugh.

                Totally. Probably the only AB to ermege from the SF with an enhanced reputation.

                  Its going to make SR 20/20 very interesting, a new Coach usually means some causalities from the year before especially after WC.
                  If it ends up being Robertson he will I imagine like he has at the Crusaders plan for future years through to the next WC.
                  You would expect whoever gets the Coaches Job will do the same and will be looked at as the coach for the 4 year Cycle in some form in the contract.
                  It would be unwise to replace a coach half way through the 4 year cycle.

                      yep, certainly a danger if you tie someone up for 4 years...should be 2 years with extension option dependant on specific performance/development criteria

                          Goodhue and ALB look like the new Nonu and Smith. They could be the starting midfield for 10 years. Most settled part of the team.

                                Four tests starting together and they are the most “settled”

                                We really do have problems. Razor to the rescue

                                  We didn't see enough of Luke Jacobson, Dalton Papali'i, Will Jordan or Damian McKenzie at international level in 2019. All had injuries woes.

                                  All four, if injury free, should be regulars in the All Blacks 23 in 2020.

                                      Anyone hear about the NZRFU bringing back the Junior All Blacks next year?

                                      Would be a good idea. They could play some European club sides and the Pacific Nations Cup teams.

                                        Useful from a development perspective, but I also wonder about a strategic measure. It ties guys to us so once they're overseas they're not able to qualify under residency.

                                          The Junior All Blacks were originally an Under 23 Team and famously beat the real All Blacks 14 - 10 at Carisbrook in 1973 under the captaincy of Bruce Gemmell.
