AB squad for the Bledisloe Cup?
-
@Yeetyaah from what I have heard, it is a niggle that if an AB game was on, he could play...but given it is a game Northland are very likely to lose, not worth risking him on.
@taniwharugby good stuff
-
@mofitzy_ agreed, both of them probably deserved to be in the initital squad.

Hurricanes midfielder Ngani Laumape, Crusaders captain Scott Barrett and Otago hooker Liam Coltman have joined the All Blacks in Hamilton. Coltman has been called in to cover Asafo Aumua who is recovering from a head knock sustained while playing for Wellington. -

From the article on Stuff:
Meanwhile, Foster said that he would delay naming his extra players for the Rugby Championship until everything was finalised with the schedule. Early next week was the original plan. Tournament rules will allow squads of 46, so Foster will select 11 extras, while injured midfielder Braydon Ennor will also be replaced prior, to take the original squad back up to 35 ahead of the two Bledisloe Cup games in New Zealand next month.So 12 extra players to be named eventually.

I think they will select TTT again, as the AB coaches have talked about him being the closest to Smith in skillset.
-
@Bovidae I think Roe is a better option than the rest. Happy with Christie or Drummond though if no room for an 'apprentice'
-
@ARHS I like Roe but isn't it a bit too early considering he's only played a handful of NPC games?
-
The whole thing is fucked. Call off the BC and RC and release the ABs back to their provinces to continue the best NPC in years.

Are you going to cover the millions we lose in broadcast revenue?
