All Blacks 2024.. locked

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

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.

@Frank The less you play, the more highly you get rated.

He’s about as formidable as Ennor is good at tackling. I still remember Robbie Henshaw brushing him off like he didn’t even exist

I didn't realise that he's still only 31! Pity he didn't kick on as well as he could.

Bollocks TJ has been awesome, he was great last year before injury. He was def #2 until he was injured.

That's hilarious. He's probably the most underwhelming AB lock I have ever seen, even more so than Isaac Ross.

If Josh Lord manages to gain a few kilos of muscle, then he could well be the incumbent, alongside Scott Barrett. When is Holland eligible. He's the one with the highest ceiling, IMO.

@cgrant Lord should already be the incumbent, he's got enough size.
Too skinny. Pari Pari Parkinson is a much better bet

Especially if we want to continue losing.

@akan004 At least Isaac Ross copped criticism for his performances.

Wtf? It's hardly controversial to state that TJ didn't exactly become a world beater. Are you seriously going to argue he was awesome in black?

I think lord is a good looking prospect talent wise ,
Needs a few years in the gym and on the steaks though, but only 22
Probably lacking that big bodied lock to partner Barrett for now
A bit sad in that whole era of Sam and Brodie , only scooter emerged as another option .
