    @Bones

    I think that Fozzie has said they see him as a winger who can play center (rather than the other way around), so I assume that if he is to start it will be at 11 or 14.

    Nope...not the point. He's playing centre, so including his stats in a list of wings is about as meaningful as including Barrett's in a list of 10s.

      Ah, sorry, I see. Fair point although I took those stats from Fox sports selecting 'wingers' only. I guess Rieko has had one or two starts on the wing, so gets put in that section too?

            @Bones Those Fox stats are for the first 7 rounds of SR only and don't include SRA.

                    @Stargazer

                    Yeah, they release leaders in some categories here, and games stats on ESPN.

                    It sucks that ESPN don't seem to put them together in a database for comparison.

                    Edit 8and edit): A quick look at the game player stats from last week shows that Reece created plenty (2 try assists, 2 Defenders beaten, 1 clean break), but also has the problem of turning it over (4 turnovers which lead the team). Over two weeks he's attempted 7 tackles and made 5.

                        There is probably enough capability here for us to design something that trawls the ESPN stats page post game then accumulates them for each player over time?

                          It's already been designed I think.

                          It's called a @Stargazer

                            Jordie Barrett showed his range of skills. He must be a probability for the AB squad when it is eventually named.

                                McKenzie on the other hand is at a real risk of missing out if he continues with his current vein of form.

                                  With Havili, Jordan and Barrett I really can't see the need eh.

                                    If Barrett at 10, I’d go 15-Jordan, 14-Reece, 11-Ioane

                                    If Barrett at 15, I’d go 10-Mo’unga, 11-Ioane, 14-Reece or Jordan

                                    Midfield is ALB/Goodhue or Luamape/Goodhue

                                    It might be a year early for Clarke with the limited test opportunities.

                                      Reece is a fine player but he hasn't cemented his position in black. If the 2 Blues wings are outplay their counterparts head to head then they deserve a shot.

                                        In a normal year, I'd have expected Foster to be allowed to take a big squad to Europe as part of rejuvenation plans - but, this year, with funds tight and only a handful of tests, I think it will be pretty small - maximum of 31?

                                          @Chris-B if they are all in NZ, they probably dont even need 31?
