    Who is this Dane Doles guy they have brought in?

    "Sammy Whitelock, Sam Cane and Dane Doles are all hoping to try to get a run around this weekend in New Zealand before they come over."

      Brilliant. He has the most potential of the young locks imo.

        Interesting choice. Three AB locks from Taranaki, although I assume he will be replacing Barrett.

                  Scott Barrett and Patty T returning to NZ.

                  https://www.allblacks.com/news/young-lock-josh-lord-called-into-the-all-blacks/

                  20-year-old Lord, together with All Blacks Sam Cane, Samuel Whitelock, Dane Coles and Shannon Frizell, will meet up with the squad in the Northern Hemisphere.  Lord comes in, with locks Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu returning to New Zealand this week for family reasons.
                  
                   
                  
                  All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster said: “From a physical point of view, we have come through the Fortinet Rugby Championship really well.  Therefore, we’ve decided to add fewer players than first anticipated for the next part of our 12-week Tour.  Also having the Bunnings Warehouse NPC continue into November means we are also able to bring over potential replacements, if required.”
                  
                   
                  
                  With the All Blacks squad unable to return to New Zealand, the squad will relocate from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast tomorrow.  The squad will have a week off and a training camp next week before flying out to the USA on Sunday 17 October. The All Blacks play the USA Eagles in Washington DC on Saturday 23 October before Test matches against Wales (Saturday 30 October), Italy (Saturday 6 November), Ireland (Saturday 13 November) and France (Saturday 20 November).
                  
                   
                  
                   
                  
                  Josh Lord – mini bio
                  
                   
                  
                  Born: 17 January 2001
                  Position: Lock
                  Height: 2.02m, Weight:106 kg
                  Province: Taranaki
                  Super Rugby Team: Chiefs
                  
                   
                  
                  After first making his provincial debut for Taranaki in 2019, Josh Lord was called into the Chiefs wider training squad in 2020 and then the full squad this year. He made his Sky Super Rugby debut against the Crusaders in 2021 and played five matches.  Lord has proved himself as a versatile lock and at 2.02m has impressed with his lineout work and with ball in hand. Lord plays both his provincial and Super Rugby alongside current All Blacks lock Tupou Vaa’i. Hailing from the small township of Owhango in the central North Island, Lord attended Hamilton Boys’ High School and first came onto the national radar with the University of Waikato Under 20 side as well as the New Zealand Under 20 team in 2018.

                    Same! I didn't want to ask what team he played for as he has a Chiefs Jersey on in that photo.

                            @machpants wow!

                            a bit surprised seeing people like PPP and Selby-rickit had been on the cusp previously

                            I do like when someone is picked of form....i assume those 5 games were good?

                              PPP didn't play yesterday for Ta$man so is he injured again?

                              Strange obviously not in the frame now either.

                                Lord is a good talent. Pleased he is involved.

                                PPP to me is like Patty T. Physically looks the part but it never quite translates as you think it should.

                                  No idea as to form, never stood out to me, but I'm no selector, esp of tight forwards. They do their own thing in games, cuddling up and getting dirty

                                    20-year-old Lord, together with All Blacks Sam Cane, Samuel Whitelock, Dane Coles and Shannon Frizell, will meet up with the squad in the Northern Hemisphere.

                                        Scott Barrett and Patty T returning to NZ.

                                        20-year-old Lord, together with All Blacks Sam Cane, Samuel Whitelock, Dane Coles and Shannon Frizell, will meet up with the squad in the Northern Hemisphere.  Lord comes in, with locks Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu returning to New Zealand this week for family reasons.
                                        
                                         
                                        
                                        All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster said: “From a physical point of view, we have come through the Fortinet Rugby Championship really well.  Therefore, we’ve decided to add fewer players than first anticipated for the next part of our 12-week Tour.  Also having the Bunnings Warehouse NPC continue into November means we are also able to bring over potential replacements, if required.”
                                        
                                         
                                        
                                        With the All Blacks squad unable to return to New Zealand, the squad will relocate from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast tomorrow.  The squad will have a week off and a training camp next week before flying out to the USA on Sunday 17 October. The All Blacks play the USA Eagles in Washington DC on Saturday 23 October before Test matches against Wales (Saturday 30 October), Italy (Saturday 6 November), Ireland (Saturday 13 November) and France (Saturday 20 November).

                                        Born: 17 January 2001
                                        Position: Lock
                                        Height: 2.02m, Weight:106 kg
                                        Province: Taranaki
                                        Super Rugby Team: Chiefs
                                        
                                         
                                        
                                        After first making his provincial debut for Taranaki in 2019, Josh Lord was called into the Chiefs wider training squad in 2020 and then the full squad this year. He made his Sky Super Rugby debut against the Crusaders in 2021 and played five matches.  Lord has proved himself as a versatile lock and at 2.02m has impressed with his lineout work and with ball in hand. Lord plays both his provincial and Super Rugby alongside current All Blacks lock Tupou Vaa’i. Hailing from the small township of Owhango in the central North Island, Lord attended Hamilton Boys’ High School and first came onto the national radar with the University of Waikato Under 20 side as well as the New Zealand Under 20 team in 2018. 
                                        
                                        

                                        Jeepers, 106kg isn’t much. Get that boy on some Roids Creatine !!!!!!!!

                                        Yeah - I looked at that and instantly thought "bollocks".

                                        106kg is a somewhat small openside flanker in test rugby.

                                        @Bones will lose his shit when he wakes up to this news.

                                          I'm sure Lord is heavier than that now as he has definitely bulked up since leaving school. Even younger than Vaa'i though.
