    Nope, he mustn't. He's certainly good, and in the frame. But smashing shit ozzie teams is not what you judged on. In the SRA games he was no where near as prominent

    Really quiet first month but was good in the second round of SRA games. Looks like he’ll be peaking in the international season. I’m not worried about his March form

    @duluth I'm not saying he's not in the frame, but as uncontested no 1 eight? Nope

      I think Sotutu and Akira Inoue should be fighting for the No. 8 spot. A very green but accurate Grace will be waiting in the background as well.

                      https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/gregor-paul-the-most-intriguing-part-of-all-blacks-squad-announcement/OGNVSUUF7DWMEJS5K3R3OCAY5Q/

                      With 36 names, at least, to be announced in the All Blacks squad this Monday, it's unlikely there will be a host of wildly unpredictable selections or shock omissions.

                      We can expect a few new names, possibly Leicester Fainga'anuku, and maybe Salesi Ryasi and Finlay Christie, while Brodie Retallick, David Havili and Braydon Ennor should all return after not being involved last year for various reasons.

                      But 2021 isn't a fresh start year. The door isn't closed to new arrivals, but having only been able to play six tests last year, All Blacks coach Ian Foster has his sights set on building the experience and ability of the group he mostly used last year.

                        I'll laugh fucking maniacally if Salesi Ryasi gets into an All Black squad. With his error rate and decision making he's barely NPC level.

                            Does Bryn Hall being named in the Maori ABs mean no AB callup?

                              @kiwimurph I guess. I think the most likely back-ups to Smith and Weber are Drummond and TTT, as both have already been capped. Less likely, but still possible: Christie (heaven forbid) and maybe Roe?

                              TTT has hardly played, so you'd have to think Drummond? I'd have preferred Hall.

                                @stargazer yeah I agree. Christie was part of the South squad last year so is on their radar and unlike TTT is getting plenty of playing time. Whoever gets picked will be 'right place right time' rather than knocking the door down.

                                  Hopefully TJP is being whisked straight in on a technicality because all those options are pretty average.

                                      They may as well have a look at someone else, probably Drummond I guess, although an apprentice look for Roe could be a good idea with TJP on the way back.

                                      I still think they should cap Fakatava even if he is in a moon boot.
