Cripes, I hope Barrett is fit to play soon.
fuck 2020 is a weird year. Who ever thought someone would post this?
That reminds me... I was meaning to highlight this little passage from RugbyPass, especially for you, @m4l...
From an opinion piece entitled "The 11 players the All Blacks should call upon to bolster their Rugby Championship squad"Scott Barrett
Scott Barrett underwent foot surgery in June, but they reckon he could be good to go by early November, so it will be interesting to see how the All Blacks bring him up to speed in the middle of an arduous Rugby Championship.
He is, of course an automatic selection in any national squad when fit, so move aside, you younger locks.@Kruse said in AB squad for the Bledisloe Cup?:

Too? Doesn't the assault grant them automatic dickhead status?

@Nepia not necessarily...but for me, it's a no regardless.

Selby-Rickit and Tom Robinson must be options, and maybe Dunshea. Is Luke Jacobsen playing with consistency of impact yet, or is Robinson the next number 6? Is Ayden Johnstone recovered from injury. They might need another prop besides Ta'avao. Also thought that Telea and Fainga'anuku were head to head for a winger spot. It will be interesting to see who is brought in - and whether any are groomed for fast-tracking their potential in that environment. Personally I believe the purpose of the expanded squad should be just that - with the next RWC developing depth options.

Dunshea confirmed called up.

@Chris said in All Blacks Tests 2020:
Mitch Dunshea called into AB Squad
Better than Strange imo. Strange is hugely overrated.

Pretty standard quote if you put the name Beaudie or Jordie in front of it

It's not like Aust has a team full of experienced locks either outside of Simmons.
I am sure Strange would have to have played some M10 Cup games to be considered for selection.

Interesting looking back at some of the selections from back in late July.
Cully got the backline right except Jordie over Jordan. And he only got Sotutu wrong in the starting pack.
