Cane to get the 7 jersey for the First Test against Ireland but Superman is waiting in the wings if his performances are anything less than world class.

@sparky At the rate we've been losing 7s over the past 24 hours, we'll be down to some bloke in Heartland rugby by the time the tests roll around.

If Cane gets injured, play Savea at 7 and Sotutu at 8.

They'd have to, because the next options are quite a long way down the barrel!

So Blackadder looks to be ruled out of the squad now. Will be interesting to see where they go. Either Jacobsen becomes the everyman loosie or in a show of innovation Cane does.
Akira to start with Cane moving to 6 later and DP coming on?For all the talk about BBBR no longer being 'BB' are we just assuming that Whitelock can lift further? Nothing about him screamed 'pick me' last night.
Whitelock got a few key lineout steals, made tackles and hit rucks, pretty much what you want your lock to be doing. Agree he is not the presence in the loose he once was but if he is doing the core role well and leading by example then that is good for me given the current locking stocks. Savea / Cane / Akira with Sotutu and SB on the bench for me.

I do wonder if Foster has seen the writing on the wall with Whitelock & BBBR's ages. Wouldn't be surprised to see Tupou Vaii & Josh Lord getting more and more time this series partnering Sam or BBBR.

How long is Blackadder out for?

And Jacobson in the 23. But we'll probably end up with Frizzell....

@Victor-Meldrew Hasn't been published yet. He was going to have scans today, I think.

Thanks. At least we have some depth at 6/7/8 - even if a tad inexperienced at Test level

@Victor-Meldrew IIRC, they said it depends on whether Blackadder will need surgery or not. If not, his absence may not be that long.

Halves are easy imo.
9: smith, fakatava, Christie
10: Barrett, Mounga, perofeta -
I really hope they back the new generation of props. De groot newell etc.
Also: just stick RTS in, he looks the goods at 12. I’d keep JB at 15 and have Jordan and Reece on the wings.
@Billy-Tell said in All Blacks 2022:

He looks a talent, but way too early to say if RTS is the goods or not. Need more than 8 or so games at top level before we can make that assessment IMHO.
Reiko and either JG or QT will be the likely 13/12 combination.

Seems like Daltons injury is appendicitis. Any body know how long it take to recover from that?
