You missed Blackadder a certainty.
If fit... the guy has been an injury magnet.

- Rakete-Stones, don't think so. Mafileo is someone they clearly like the look of.
- Walker-Leaware is just a worse version of Tupou Vaa'i
- Blackadder and Flanders, fair enough, particularly if Cane takes his sabbatical
- I'm not sold on Perofeta, I'd almost say Sullivan may be likely depending on which way round they play in SR
- Forgot about Tupaea, so agree there
- Stevenson will be an interesting one. Part of me wonder if the fact he will be 27 counts against him.

Has anyone seen the dates and venues for the England series

@Crazy-Horse It happens all the time on here both ways and it won't stop anytime soon no matter who's coaching/what players get selected etc.

The bias that they don't have bias?

@Bones No never, Cantab posters are the most unbiased posters on here.....

@African-Monkey we are indeed. It’s just too easy to wind you guys up. 7 titles in a row. What more can we say.

In typical NZR fashion we hear about them from the opposition first and dates/locations probably won't be out until next year

@chchfanatic Mate, it's an ABs thread, not a Crusaders wankathon thread haha.
Look forward, not back

13s: who is most likely competing with Rieko in 2024, Ennor?
@nostrildamus said in All Blacks 2024:

On form Proctor (especially considering Ennor won't be playing for much of 2024 due to injury recovery)
-
One guy who is a bit of a forgotten man is TJ Perenara.
Not his biggest fan but I wonder if he's a chance if they are looking for experience in one of their 3 halfbacks with Smith and Weber gone.

Will he get enough game time to push his case? On form, and if everyone stays fit, he'll be getting ~15mins most weeks

Fakatava got picked in the first squad of 2022 with similar minutes.

Ha yes. He got locked into NZ and then his selection was less urgent

Classic line from a Herald article
Tupou Vaa’i is the latest in a string of formidable locks for the All Blacks. Vaa’i has filled in superbly when his number has been called.
