@gt12 said in All Blacks XV 2024: Brought up in the other thread, but what are the odds of Sotutu not being picked? I say 100% or there will be a riot. Certainly this place will be worth me using my favorite gif again. Both sides of the ball.

So he should be in there unless he's subsequently done something to piss Razor off.

Taking last year and slotting in ex ABs and injury back up ABs, with a couple of additions, gives this. Not close enough to NPC form to know who's missing. Assumes TJS, Cane, and Finau remain in AB squad. Props George Dyer

Surely they take 5 props. Rakete-Stones was chosen last year as someone who could cover both sides. If they are using this team for development there is no point selecting Harmon. Which squad does Perofeta make? Gallagher as a lock. You should have stuck with B Sullivan.  None of the Highlanders forwards mentioned are listed.

@pakman 
 HookersRicky Riccitelli: if he’s not selected over Bell in the ABs, what’s the point of taking him? Loose Forwards 
 Christian Lio-Willie
 Billy Harmon: Going to Japan to what’s the point in taking Harmon?
 Peter Lakai
 Cameron Suafoa
 Zach Gallagher: Is a lock. Another out of position loose forward? NoYou haven’t picked a single out and out six. Why? Midfielders 
 Quinn Tuapea: Absolutely not. Shouldn’t be anywhere near the ABs set up
 Braydon Ennor: What’s the point?

@Bovidae said in All Blacks XV 2024: Surely they take 5 props. Rakete-Stones was chosen last year as someone who could cover both sides. You may be right, but only taking 29, so I assume Ofa and Tosi will be available if required. If they are using this team for development there is no point selecting Harmon. True, but not sure who is the form NPC 7 and Kirifi not my kettle of fish. Which squad does Perofeta make? He's in ABs. Gallagher as a lock. Too small for international level. We need another 6' 5" big body who can play 6. If not Zach, maybe Simon Parker? You should have stuck with B Sullivan.  They can always leave out Tupaea. None of the Highlanders forwards mentioned are listed. Haig fits the size model. Who are you thinking of? Bear in mind I've only seen Super rugby this year and a few NPC highlights!

Gallagher is 6ft 6 and 115 kg not small for an international lock .

Seen him listed at 6' 5", but can't trust what you read!
