I haven't been watching Levi Aumua.
Anyone want to tell why he should be considered for the ABs.@Frank said in All Blacks World Cup bolters:

Post Contact meters 1st in comp
Linebreaks 1st in comp
Tackles 2nd in compVideo below at 22:28 mins where they reckon the Crusaders have tapped him up. So presumably NZ have given him assurances if he is putting pen to paper.
Apparently Eddie Jones sniffing around him too.

@Frank Wait for him to get a season with the Crusaders and we may get a better idea, he would probably improve a lot under their coaching. From what people are saying he offers a real power game in the centres something we have been lacking since Nonu and Sonny. I would be a lot more excited about him at the Saders if Leicester was staying.

It's exactly what we need and is basically our version of Aki, Tuilagi or Danty.
Did you see what Danty did to Leinster/Ringrose on Saturday. He brutalised them.
His try was pure power. There is no legislating for that.
That's why Caleb Clark is so useful yet so disappointing. He needs to be coming in off the 10 on strike moves like Julian Savea used to.
He should be causing the carnage and then offloading to the speedsters to finish once the lines are broken.
Unfortunately, Clark is supposed to be our finisher and he couldn't finish his dinner. He is great over 20 meters and no more.

Good call on Zarn Sullivan, able to cover multiple positions. More than capable of filling an All Black spot this year.

Zarn really seems to know how to manipulate a team around the park with his boot too.
As in the opposition D. He pins them back really well.
Future Allblack 10 from the current crop for me.

@Steve Think I would rather Clarke signed to go overseas than Big Lester.
I don't think Clarke will ever hit the heights his physique and junior career promised.
He needs to be a bully. He seems to be too nice.

Dallas Macleod named MOTM surely on current form he must be in with a chance.I would take Proctor before picking McLeod. Proctor is starting to play some useful footy.
Nankivell, Poihipi, TUJ, and probably about 2-3 more ahead of McLeod at least eh.

Bryce Heem. He's a perfect utility back.
Yes and for a big 34 year old he seems to have a decent turn of pace.

Is John Afoa a bolter?

@Magpie_in_aus Probably too early to tell. What happened to Luke Romano he could easily make a comeback, he was great last year for the Blues.

Is Billy Harmon a bolter?

Can’t see how he fits without injury to Cane or Paps.
I get that he is performing at a high quality level but there’s only so many spots in the squad. -
@Bones He covers 12,13,wing and we've played him at fullback. Is extremely consistent, hardly every has a bad game and makes everyone around look better.
Would be a great player to have in a size restricted squad.

Put that way he would be a replacement for Havili.
An injury chance.
