Love Dane Coles, one of the greatest ever AB Hookers but injuries mean he is in the twilight of his career. Going forward I think Kurt Eklund and Bradley Slater will offer the ABs more.

Apart from Josh Ioane (I'd go for Otere Black), that AB (10 caps or less team) looks bloody potent.

@sparky the guy is a walking fridge but can move aswell. Will be bloody tempting having him come off the bench this year.

South Africa and England think they can mug us up front. I want AB forwards who can break their players.

@victor-meldrew Apart from Reuban Love, none of the younger First Fives in Super Rugby look nearly good enough to play Test footy. That's fine, all three of Beauden Barrett, Richie Mo'unga and Damian Mckenzie should be around for the next World Cup

And I'm OK with Otere Black as a emergency backup. May not set the house on fire, but he's turned into a pretty safe pair of hands -

Eklund is already 29 so hardly a player for the future. Slater has never impressed me but has time to improve. There is a reason that Taukei'aho plays big minutes for the Chiefs.

Big call on Love. The Hurricanes don't allow him to play like a 10, so unless you have seen way more of him than I have I can't see how you can say he is better than the other young 10s.

Williams, the newish Cantab Prop, might make the ABs this year.

Too young yet he’s only 20 plenty of other options but he could be come WC time.

I agree none including Love will be ABs before WC, but I would argue that Zarn Sulliavn will go close, I know Blues are running him at 15 at moment, but he's got the look of a 10 about him.
