All Blacks XV 2022
-
@Stargazer the only reason this team exists is to build depth for the All Blacks.
Everything they do should be driven by whoever is the AB coach.

It would be mad if this team wasn't selected by / with significant input from the AB coaches / selectors.
I assume that everyone wanting to blow Robertson will change their minds about that if he gets made the AB coach.

Will be fascinating to see who they do pick and see people on the Ferns opinions on who they should select in the squad.
So in theory we will have what 60 players touring at the end of the year between the two squads? That is 4 starting Super Rugby teams
But a good way to continue development and build skills etc.

I can see too many Canes and Chiefs already….

Future AB's coaching group right there? So clearly Razor has not been asked to coach the AB XV, maybe Fozzie has his eyes on Hammett and Holland?

So some likely names based on the current ABs squad;
I’d say there will be one or two youngsters the coaches have their eyes on, that will surprise.
And yes I will have missed some obvious names.Hodgman

IWL
Tucker
Robinson
Grace
Harmon
MMT
Frizzell

Nareki@Gunner would like to see Josh Moorby feature in there somewhere as another fullback/wing option, he’s had an excellent season.

you have indeed, you should hand in your Northland card
Although I expect where you have doubled down, you meant someone else....

So Jack isn't moving into the forwards?
I am assuming Nowell = Norris. Add Jacobson to the loose forwards.

Can’t have an ABs XV team showing up Foster’s lack of innovation XV! Hopefully this is incorrect
-
@Gunner one name you’ve missed and would probably be captain for a side like this, Jacobson.

@Daffy-Jaffy said in All Blacks XV:
I'm inclined to believe NZR didn't approach Robertson before coming up with the XV concept.

The left foot doesn't know what the right foot is doing.
There has been plenty of bagging of foster, but it's Robinson and the board who are letting the side down. You look at the Blues, and it was the changes at the top that have driven improvement through the organization.

Just read that All Blacks XV (A) team is to tour Canada and Europe for a few games later in year.
New Zealand Rugby’s (NZR) newest Team in Black, the All Blacks XV, will embark on a 3-week global tour playing in North America, the UK and Europe. Matches against Canada and the Barbarians have been confirmed, with two additional high profile matches to be announced soon.
great news in my opinion, give the fringe players something to help push their case! Razor to get coaching gig?
