I don't think Ricky Riccitelli would have made a major difference during the Rugby Championship. Let's put it that way.
I don't think anyone is saying that.

If they're not going to make a difference now then the All Blacks should largely be picking guys who will make the most difference in the when they're needed in the future.

Aumua needs pressure on him and Bell isn't providing that because he's ill disciplined and has an unreliable lineout.

There is plenty of Pressure on Aumua he is not doing much to retain his place in the squad.
There is pressure to stay there. -
All comes down to what is the prupose of the team is. There is nothing to gain putting All Blacks at the back end of their careers or Super battlers on the tour. All the guys going aaay have spent multiple Super seasons like the likes of Perenara, Cane or players of similR experience. RR is a fine player. He will never be an All Black though. The oldest AB debutant in the professional era was Dave Hewitt more than 20 years ago. RR will be older than him at the end of the Super season. He has been a great servant of NZ Rugby. His type of player, interms of where his carrer is at just doesn't match what the squad is for.

They never give a 3rd hooker any game time regardless of how Aumua is playing

If they do Aumua is out once ST comes back

@brodean said in All Blacks XV 2024:
There is no one reliable in the squad to replace him so there is zero pressure.
That is unknown until Bell gets chances how do you know.
And don’t say lineout throwing Aumua has been unreliable at that this year,
And yellow cards Aumua has been pinged for a lot of yellow cards in the past for bad tackle technique. -

The point is that they don't. Bledisloe 2 seemed like a perfect opportunity to give Bell some game time but.... nothing.

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.
Holland, the Netherlands-born giant who only turns 22 next week, moved to New Zealand as a 16-year-old and has risen through the ranks at speed.
He was not expected to become eligible for the All Blacks until late 2025, but a World Rugby eligibility change that kicked in on August 1 has dramatically changed the picture.
-
@frugby any knowledge of any of the other Otago based players?
