All Blacks 2024

[Duluth]

The Blues have confirmed Tuipulotu is out for 6-7 weeks. I think Robertson will select Strange now

[Frank]

To state the obvious, if Scott Barrett is not fit for England, we are in big trouble at lock.

[Bovidae]

You would assume they are selecting 4 locks so Strange was always going to be a good chance as the fourth lock. Hopefully Lord is close to full fitness by July.

[frugby]

Dunshea is a smokey I reckon.

[Canes4life]

Annoyed that Delany has been out for a while, he was one of the form locks before he got injured aswell.

[African Monkey]

@frugby I always had a bit of time for him, but like Pat Tuipulotu, he's always injured.

[george33]

Sam Darry, just stay fit and he will be in

[canefan]

There is a doco about Razor, premiering on Sky TV June 16. Looks intriguing

Hopefully he learns some of the laws of rugby in the interim. Olympic level stupid.

…..and to think people in other threads were whinging about Norm Maxwell, Todd Blackadder and Isaac Ross.

It would be a disaster if he appointed Scott Barrett as captain. Apart from the fact it would make Robertson look like he's unable to look outside his Crusader mates - its already bad enough with Richie and Sam. Scott would almost be the final straw for me.

Please pick Scooter. Please pick Scooter. Just please.

I'm a big Ardie fan, but his captaincy hasn't been great. I'd pick Scott, and I wouldn't care that he goes on a sabbatical next year. That's my prediction

Hope Robertson makes his choice on a long-term basis and not just on sabbaticals. Wonder if he'll pick a permanent VC as well.

Grace or Strange have many years ahead of them in black...

Like that great captain who really made an impression on the game, Luke Whitelock

Who the fuck was whinging about Maxwell?
Nothing to whinge about there - well aside from the fact he’s a Northlander who played for the Crusaders.
