I'd be surprised if RM, BB and DMac all travel to Arg, much less be in the 23. You don't need both BB and DMac.
BB to be either 10 or 15 vs Arg.

I think they'll all travel - what if one gets injured? In general, because there is such little time until the World Cup, I think almost everyone will travel, as they'll want to build together in the environment.
Whitelock is the only one who I expect to stay at home.

Ryan said the full squad only has 4 days of training before heading to Arg, and they'd have even less to prepare for the SA test the following week with the time difference and return travel. If the plan is to give most players a chance to play in these 2 games there will have to be some separation of the squad.

Foster said on selection night that they won't be separating the squads and all 36+ will go to Argentina and on to South Africa. He said with the condensed Rugby Championship he needs all the training time possible with all players.

@Wurzel OK. SA will be waiting in Auckland for the ABs to return home as they are splitting their squad apparently.

@Machpants I'm liking the collar on that jersey, they should do this design at Super level.

Adidas don't have that contract next year, rumor says

Sone of the technical innovations include
- made in a country where labour is cheap
- iron-on label that will peel off with time
- ridiculous price that requires a trip to the bank to increase the mortgage

damn....was thinking might be time for another AB's jersey as has been a while...will check it out in person but pics arent selling me
edit: am i the only one getting hawaiian shirt vibes?

The jersey looks way nicer in this shot where the markings aren't obvious. The above photo looks like someone has just drawn all over the All Blacks jersey.

@Canes4life just a pity we dont see in black and white and through a glamor filter
-
That jersey is better than last year. RWC jerseys generally have a better design because there's one less sponsor logo on it. That Altrad logo was quite big
I never buy jersey's though so I guess my opinion doesn't matter
@Duluth Me and you both mate. Love the fact that others buy them, and I will buy ather supporters' gear at times, but never a jersey. Old fashioned in that way, earning the right etc.
And add to fact, it just has to be a Black jersey I pretty happy with whatever jersey is. -

@Kiwiwomble the fern design used on the fabric is awful. I’m sure it won’t be as noticeable as the pictures but that rounded fern leaf design is terrible. How can a simple black jersey be stuffed up?
