      Word. Clarke had to be in, he is a real weapon with all the extra skills.

      Needs a touch more experience and he looks like he could be Bridge with a bit more power.

      Clarke is young, but needs to get himself more involved if the ball isn't going his way.

      Saw somewhere that Bridge was one of the fastest in AB squad, along with Rieko, BB and DMac.

      I would hope that he's fast given he plays on the wing and offers little else

      That’s a bit unfair — he does seem good under high ball.

        All Blacks coach Ian Foster has hinted a major change could be coming to the make-up of his starting fifteen.

        Foster's confirmed he'll stick with dual playmakers when the international season gets underway, but it appears it's game-on as to who will get the fullback spot.
        
        It was a much-maligned strategy since its inception under Steve Hansen, and the tactic won't be going anywhere under Foster.
        
        But that doesn't mean there won't be changes, with Foster hinting the current combination of Richie Mo'unga and Beauden Barrett is no certainty to continue.
        
        "It's  a style that is part of our game," Foster tells Newshub. "But the names that fulfill it, well we've got the ability to mix and match there.
        
        "The good thing is we've got more options in that space in terms of personnel."
        
        Foster feels one of five players could fill the fullback position - Beauden Barrett, Jordie Barrett, Damian McKenzie, David Havili and Will Jordan.
        
        Barrett played all but two of his All Blacks tests at fullback last year. But it seems even the player seen as one of the best in the world has a challenge on his hands to retain his starting spot.
        
        "The fact is we've now got some fullbacks who are really putting their hands up as well, so we've got a lot more options in terms of fulfilling that double playmaker," Foster notes.
        
        One man Foster doesn't have any questions over is Blue captain Patrick Tuipulotu.
        
        "He's been outstanding," Foster says. "He was one of the players I phoned up in January and just wanted to make sure he was really aware of the opportunity that he had."
        
        Along with the makeup of the loose forwards, the locking situation is what's causing Foster the most headaches.
        

        Note the comments about Tuipulotu.

                        @MN5 I think I know where you're going with this. Parkinson could do with bulking up a bit, right? Because that means he's not big.

                                When you're making Jordie look like the safe option, it's time to take a bit of a look at yourself eh.

                                  Got a lot of time for DMac and really hope he gets back to his best.

                                  That said, his form of late has been utter shite.

                                  When you're making Jordie look like the safe option, it's time to take a bit of a look at yourself eh.
