All Blacks XV 2023
-
George bell,George dyer and Aidan Ross called up apparently but I thought Aidan Ross was already there
-
And now the same tweet has been posted again:
-
Wouldn't be shocked to see Bell get a run. I think had he not spent most of the year injured, he would have been the in the squad.

@frugby Yep. I just hope that doesn't mean Thompson gets dropped.
Riccitelli should go for me. Played well in SR no doubt, but he is too small/not dynamic enough to be a test match hooker.

Does the All Blacks XV count as our 2nd team for eligibility criteria? Either something dodgy happened over there or Jager has declared for Ireland and Walker-Leawere for Fiji. Don't know about Aumua; but he may be eligible for Samoa from next year?

@matty_kcrams It is an option, but with all signed on with NZR seems unlikely.
-
Jager and Walker-Leawere have only signed for next year haven't they? Will be interesting to see what's going on.

No it doesn't same as Aumua from last year
-
Maybe referring to "personal reasons" could just be a way of not having to say they have covid? I wouldn't go looking for more meaning behind it. It's no conspiracy of some sort.
@Stargazer No it isn't, and this is entirely possible. I think it just doesn't look great because it is a group of three.
If it is COVID, why not just say? Seems unlikely that they aren't linked...

Bell isn't a big hooker either. I'd keep the same two hookers that played the Japan XV.
