    Could we find a generous corporate to allow us to buy Luatua out of his Bristol contract?

      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.

        Just need to get them playing for the same SR team. I.e. Auckland... 😉

            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.

                        Yeah I remember some consternation when they originally announced the name. I always preferred Shadow All Blacks personally.

                              Potential NZ "B" squad for 2020 (uncapped players only ?) :

                              Props : Ross, O'Neill, Fidow, Tuilamo (he was injured this year but his size could guarantee a seat there)
                              Hookers : Taukeiaho, Makalio
                              Locks : IWL, Franklin, Scrafton, Whetton
                              Loose forwards : Robinson, Sotutu, Gibson, Douglas, Havili, TBN
                              Scrumhalves : Fakatava, Judd (leaving ?)
                              1st Fives : Perofeta, Trask, McClutchie
                              2nd Fives : Nankivell, Faiane, Walden
                              Centres : Tupaea, Thompson
                              Wings : Alaimalo, L. Fainganuuku, Rayasi, Lam (Nareki and Clarke with the 7s)
                              Full backs : ?????????? (Stevenson, Narawa, McKay, Trainor : no great option there)

                                    And what about McNicol ? I hope his injury woes are over.
