Congrats to Rangi.
Looking forward to seeing what sort of squad he will work with.
It may have been covered in the thread but who are the selectors for this squad? Is it just the AB selectors with input from Rangi?

From the article below:All Blacks coach Ian Foster and his fellow selectors will name the All Blacks XV squad, although he expects there to be minimal crossover of players between his and MacDonald's teams.

@Tim Mark Telea will obviously be the Right winger
Is Stevenson not still on fire?

@Bones Sullivan is injured. Moorby is just coming back from injury. Sam Gilbert isn't playing, IIRC, but would be a fucking million miles from any NZ rep team.

@Bones How is the All Black career of Rob Thompson going these days?
About as good as Yourself or Someone Like You.

The Barbarians game isn't at Twickenham. I thought they always played at Twickenham, when playing at home?

Will the Qatar world cup be on at that same time? Probably. Looks like unused football stadium could provide some economic competition? Or more likely, now I think about it, England , Wales etc. are already playing home games that weekend.

A back three of Stevenson, Telea and Lam would be bloody good to watch.
With Levi Aumua and Thomas Umaga-Jensen in midfield.

If I had to pick a team based on the fact McKenzie will most likely come into the All Blacks for Perofeta, I would go for something like this as a 23. (Assuming everyone is fit by the time the squad heads away).
- Alex Hodgman (Auckland)
- Asafo Aumua (Wellington)
- Angus Ta’avao (Auckland)
- Justin Sangster (Bay of Plenty)
- Zach Gallagher (Canterbury)
- Luke Jacobsen (Waikato)
- Tom Christie (Canterbury)
- Devan Flanders (Hawkes Bay)
- Brad Weber (Hawkes Bay)
- Stephen Perofeta (Taranaki)
- AJ Lam (Auckland)
- Thomas Umaga-Jensen (Otago)
- Peter Umaga-Jensen (Wellington)
- Mark Telea (North Harbour)
- Josh Moorby (Northland)
- Kurt Eklund (Bay of Plenty)
- Tamaiti Williams (Canterbury)
- Tevita Mafileo (Bay of Plenty)
- Fabian Holland (Otago)
- Peter Lakai (Wellington)
- Cam Roigard (Counties Manukau)
- Aiden Morgan (Wellington)
- Bailyn Sullivan (Waikato)
