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.There's not plenty of pressure on Aumua.
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?

He may step up the Crusaders enviroment wasn’t a good one to perform in this season.Plummer was poor in Npc
Bell was good in the chances they had.
I would still try Plummer as well. -
Here's a wild crack at the squad of 29. Some will doubtless be wrong - probably even picking some injured or ineligible.
6 props: Bower, Numia, Ross, Renata, Dyer, O'Neill (a captain's call for McMillan - seems like less options at tighthead)
3 hookers: Riccitelli, Slater, McAlister (maybe Taylor)
3 Locks: Lord, Holland, Walker-Leaware
5 Loose forwards: Suafoa, Grace, Lakai, Sotutu, Lio-Willie
3 halfbacks: Hotham, Christie, Fakatava
2 First fives: Plummer, Jacomb
3 Midfielders: Higgins, Rona, Tupaea
4 Outsides: Narawa, Lam, Tavatavanawai*, Fihaki
*possibly injured - maybe Nanai-Seturo, but he may be injured as well?
