Chiefs 2021
-
Thinking further about the possible selections at lock, the Chiefs also need to factor in that BBBR will be back in the squad for 2022 and could even be available for the end of SRA 2021 and the trans- Ta$man competition that follows. I am assuming like Whitelock this year, he can play once his NZR contract starts again in May 2021.

Still a few surprises left ...

Assuming that's a blacked-out photo of this years team, who are they?
In my dreams, that is a picture of:
ALB, Jordie (more likely Jacobson I guess), Weber, Cane, Cruden (more likely Gatland), Dmac, Vaaii

The person third from right does look like Cruden, but in saying that, the middle dude looks like Cane

I'll bet my house that the middle dude is Cane.

@gt12 Could it be that Retallick is coming back early? Or was he back for 2021 in any case?

He comes back May regardless I think, but that doesn't look like his hair
@gt12 or his height

Looking at the link which provides the photos. The five in the middle from left to right are: Luke Jacobson, Brad Weber, Sam Cane, Aaron Cruden, Damian McKenzie.
In between Weber and Cane is Ardron, probably nothing to look into and they're just using the silhouettes for effect.
