@stargazer Would have thought there would be comment around all the props taken, the omission of Frizzell, and the lack of cover at 10. Presumably McKenzie or Havili?

@arhs Jordie would also be 10 cover.
Also - just on the props - I've heard there may be some delays if players don't come over in this week's party - for example Mounga, Whitelock etc may miss multiple tests due to quarantining etc - so Ofa T might not be fit - but they might as well bring him over now. Not sure if that means Coles' injury is more severe or what.

Yeah, probably Dmac first, next option would be Havili and then Jordie.
I'd love to get more precise info about when all these babies are expected to arrive. If it's in the next week, Whitelock/Mo'unga/Smith may not miss too many games, but if it's in a few weeks, they may miss the entire RC.

Do they have to isolate on arrival over there?

@stargazer said in All Blacks 2021:
Surely Braydon Ennor earns "The Myth" title now. He must be a fantastic midfielder to be picked so regularly but he should play 7 because I never see him.

@hooroo Not sure, but if there are quarantine requirements, I hope it will make a positive difference that Whitelock, Mo'unga and Smith are all living in the - thus far - Covid-free South Island (hoping it stays that way). If NZ can distinguish between Aussie states, surely Queensland/Australia can have different requirements for the North and South Island?

Yeah true. I was thinking that if baby is due in next two weeks and then they have to isolate for two weeks then there won't be much point in travelling

Yes they will, into QLD, 2 weeks in hotel isolation, so they could play the Boks - just. Unless they get some sort of exemption.
