    I assume this squad will be named shortly. They've gained 2 halfbacks and a prop from the ABs, although Lomax was always at long odds to make the ABs. More importantly, that haven't lost a player as a bolter to the ABs.

    They also got Norris at prop too.

      @Dan54 Norris was never going to make the ABs (and was already on the list for potential MABs).

        @Dan54 Norris was never a realistic chance for the ABs. One for the future. I was thinking of Bailyn Sullivan.

          I guess Ratima also misses out on this squad, which is a shame

            When's the team named, they're playing first, right?

              Yeah, even if McMillan picks 3 halfbacks Ratima might be the one who misses out.

                @Machpants I heard that the team would be named today. I was a bit surprised they didn't name the squad after the ABs squad was named.

                  @Bovidae They (MABs) never pick three halfbacks for just two games in NZ. One may be on stand-by, but not in the squad.

                    I just read a post in the Stuff discussion that mentioned the MABs being named tomorrow.

                      Considering we have always had a huge gap behind Smith it is good we have competition at 9, even if they never reach Smith status at least they are putting pressure on each other.

                        @Stargazer If they are taking these games seriously, which they will be, I would be picking a larger squad so all players are training together. There will be less disruption if there are injuries.

                            @Stargazer given I read the reason they chose the location of the announcement was a nod to the Maori and Pacific influence in our game.

                                    @Bovidae yeah, him or Weber. Unless McMillan has the same strange fascination with Prinsep as Holland has.

                                          Someone's claiming a squad leak over on reddit.

                                          Cameron Suafoa has Maori heritage? That might be BS.
