    @KiwiMurph

    Barratt and Lord are my preferred starting locks but with 15 tests it’s going to be brutal.

    God help us if we lose Scooter for any length of time!!

    Yep, but we will have 4-5 locks in squad, at moment I would go along with Scooter and Lord, but will I think also have Vaai, Tuipoloto, and wonder if they will fill in other spot with a youngster. One I suspect willl be holding a spot until next year when Holland becomes available.

    Yeah, I would go along with that although it wouldn’t surprise me if Vai’i is dumped completely.

    Just don’t see what he brings as a player.

    If Darry get some game time maybe he is worth investing in. He has the right size that’s for sure.

      Too light (110kg) at the moment.

        That number looks a few years out of date

              Depends. Vai’i might grow taller, more aggressive, more skilled and just a lot better in general.

                      Jeff Wilson is obviously stupid, but he's still talking about Quentin Strange starting for the ABs. How dumb can he get?

                            Not because he's good enough, but because the tight five will be selected by Ryan & Robertson

                              Actually that's not correct, he said they would be there or thereabouts at finals time and could see them doing it. And I think he was saying what most thought anyway.

                                I genuinely can see Vaai starting at lock for ABs this year too, regardless of what I see on forums.

                                  @Duluth Yes, sadly that's a risk. Ryan's selections for the AB XV team were the most biased since the Mains era. Some absolute chumps in those squads.

                                    I can’t wait until the squad is actually selected so that the echo chambers of mindless speculation are finished.

                                        Jeff Wilson is obviously stupid, but he's still talking about Quentin Strange starting for the ABs. How dumb can he get?

                                        He also declared in one of the first shows that he couldn't see anyone but the Crusaders winning the title.

                                        @ruggabee Also amusing is that he keeps talking about Kaleb Trask for the Chiefs, but he was ruled out for the season and was replaced by Jacomb.

                                          I think that's a decent possibility

                                          Not because he's good enough, but because the tight five will be selected by Ryan & Robertson

                                          I genuinely can see Vaai starting at lock for ABs this year too, regardless of what I see on forums.

                                          Probably only out of necessity due to the fact we have 15 tests this year.

                                          It’s astonishing really that we have only have 1 test class lock in NZ currently.
