How good was Roigard on his first game back? Notised DP being taken off, hopefully nothing serious.Generational talent.
Doesnt have Smiths pass (who does) but christ he is good with ball in hand.
Image how great he'll be regarded after he's started his second Test at 9, this time against top opposition.....
Talent for sure, but let's not get too carried away or raise expectations.
You can blame @Canes4life for that
Haha why can’t we get carried away? Roigard is showing early career form as good as some of our top ABs. International footy is different obviously but the signs are great.

We’re New Zealanders, we’re not supposed to show emotion. This would never have happened in Pinetrees day

@sparky I don’t know 100%. But I think it’s exactly the same squad as TRC with Roigard swapping with Hotham.
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.
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.@pakman I wasn’t analysing anything. It was from the conversation I had with my source. But I can’t exactly ask him every player in every team and then I leak it on the fern. I think he’ll work out where it’s coming from.
From what we talked about it’s all pretty settled. They want experience on the tour. Apparently Sam Cane has been amazing around the squad. -

Roigard is the Chuck Connors of rugby. He doesn't actually pass the ball. He simply moves his hands and the universe does the rest

This applies to both the ABs and AB XV, but the following article says that Holland is available for selection now.
Otago and Highlanders lock Fabian Holland is eligible for All Blacks or All Blacks XV selection with immediate effect, the Sunday Star-Times can reveal. In August, World Rugby announced a change to Regulation 8 for national team eligibility that stated: “From August 1, 2024, any player with a genuine, close, credible and established link to a union is no longer required to complete 60 months [five years] of unbroken residency in the relevant country right up to the first time that player represents the union.
“Under the revised approach ‘rugby registration” over a 60-month period will need to be demonstrated via registration with a rugby body, including a national union or club.“
The Sunday Star-Times asked New Zealand Rugby if Holland would be covered by the change, and the national body confirmed that he would be given the green light.
Can understand if he was in the AB XV to slowly bring him along but he’s just that good that he should be on the EOYT in the full squad. Find a spot for him.

Roigard, Savea, Sititi and DMac are good running options.

Mate, his talent is obvious.
I rate him just above DuPont at the moment.

Considering our locks have actually been quite good this year, not necessarily a need to chuck Holland in straight away, but I can see him debuting v Japan, then joining the NZ XV, then potentially linking back up with the ABs after to get him in the environment...

@MN5 Would that put Anton Segner in a similar situation?
I don’t even know who that is sorry

Haha not bad from you.
Got tagged above earlier too for any other squad chat but haven’t heard a lot so far. Things seem tight lipped this far which leads me to believe there won’t be a lot/if any changes other than Roigard added.
Only thing I have been told is not to expect all 3 of Plummer, Perofeta and Love. Its expected only 2 of them will be named in the AB squad with the 1 missing out to be in the AB XV.
