Norris could be the third LH prop.
Tangitau could thrive outside a good passing centre, but not outside Rieko as far as attack is concerned. He could do well outside Billy Proctor but I cannot imagine the All Blacks' selectors choosing two inexperienced players at international level at the same time. This is why I think Tangitau's time will not come this year.What ?
Tangitau isn't picked because Rieko can't pass?@Frank said in All Blacks 2025:

They played Rieko on the wing in the final quarter a few times last season, and he looked very dangerous with the extra space. If the coaches are not going to implement a gameplan that allows Rieko to get on the outside shoulder of his man, then he is better served playing out wide. A back three of Clarke - Jordan - Rieko would be pretty scary to defend against.

Something like Roigard - DMac - Clarke - Jordie - Proctor - Rieko - Jordan would be awesome to watch if they got going.

I guess putting Rieko outside Jordan would mean no one can complain how he goes ball in hand.

Anyone who doesn't have DMac at 10 and Jordan at 15 either
a) doesn't know the first thing about rugby
b) isn't watching Super Rugby

I could live with Jordan at fullback if we had vintage Kahui and Jane/Smith.
OMG!

Jordan put Springer into space with a lovely long pass today, then followed up in support for the return pass and run in for a (2nd) try.
Also won an attacking contestable on the Highlanders 22 with a Ben Smith-esque catch.
The only argument for not having Jordan at 15, is if you are putting Jordie there to accommodate another 12 such as Tavatavanawai.
Barring that scenario, Sir William of Jordan is the Allblack fullback and its not even close.

"Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”

He's definitely the form fullback in New Zealand.
Good to see Proctor fit and firing again.

Nah, he has come to terms with the fact that Jordan's father that bullied him at school and stole his lunch money, has nothing to do with the player we saw today.

c) a + bDMac's the best 10 and Will Jordan will be in the starting lineup if fit.
I'd argue at international level Jordan's best used at 14. I might be tempted to put Jordie Barrett at 15.
