Sotutu I think has grown into the NPC after a slow start. In his favour, is that Sititi was initially picked I think as a development 8, but injuries hit, he took his chance and now he is the preferred blindside. The way Ryan has traditionally picked the forwards is with specialists in mind, so they may want another number eight.

injuries hit or the new 6s weren't that impressive? Yeah, I can imagine Razor continuing with EB if he wasn't an injury magnet but it is not as if his injury prone state is a new thing!

Bit of both. Blackadder got injured, and Finau paid the price for that shocking cameo in the first test v the Boks.

@george33 I reckon he makes the NZXV team

You guys are going to love this one.
Expect to see TJ Perenara on the EOYT according to the extremely reliable contact. He will not be going to Japan until December because he’s going on the end of year tour.
Anything else I hear I’ll continue to throw in between now and then. I hope this isn’t true as much as the rest of you but as I always say, I’ll post anything juicy that’s worth sharing.

@Landers92 I reckon Sam Cane is going as well.

You’re usually a very good source. Any word on changes to the mix?

@gt12 nah don’t get too much info. Just know they’re both going. Hoskins , Hotham and Holland in NZ XV.

@sparky I don’t know 100%. But I think it’s exactly the same squad as TRC with Roigard swapping with Hotham.
Players from both squads will be able to play for both teams from what I heard.
I’d say the 23 for the England game will go straight over. The Japan game will be rest of squad filled with NZXV players. -

That’s the obvious conclusion when you analyse options.
The XV is where the interesting selections will be.Players from both squads will be able to play for both teams from what I heard.

@sparky said in All Blacks EOYT:
Anyone got any oil on who is going to make the squad?
Sure do.
About 95% of the guys who are there already

With that insider knowledge you must be Razor’s mum

Handing out caps like confetti
So if 23 go to London, who will be coaching them while The ABs play Japan?

Got my tickets to Paris
Always like the French fans as they support their team but also respect the ABs. First time to watch France play in France (whether nz or another team). See how that marseillaise sounds when 60000 French sing it live.

Same. Much cheaper than the Ireland game.

Best atmosphere I've seen in Europe (but I've not been to a game in Dublin).

How good was Roigard on his first game back? Notised DP being taken off, hopefully nothing serious.
