@Duluth said in Auckland v Waikato:

No Perofeta or Tele'a

Good to see a young back three after last year. Looking forward to seeing how Hainsworth-Fa'aofo goes at 8

Perofeta, Tele'a & Tangitau targeting Rd 4 returns.

Rieko Ioane posted a photo today from training with Ah Kuoi in the background.

I wonder what number Ioane was wearing..

11
Rieko has been training exclusively at wing. Zero reps in the midfield.

Not sure if already mentioned but Cody and Kitiona Vai will be with Auckland this year.

@Nogusta Camp was Wednesday - Friday

Oh right. Yea I didn't know any of that detail. Only that Hoskins was a FIFO on the Thursday.
Also heard that day that Jamie Jo is coaching the AB XVs.
Not sure if that's already been shared anywhere?

@Nogusta said in All Blacks 2025:

He's also gonna play for the ANZAC team as well against the Lions and hes been told to use these games as an opportunity to put himself in the frame for a recall

Suggesting he will not be selected on Monday

Mark Telea playing for the Baas as well

@gt12 I think it's a weekend camp? Hoskins had a 9.30am flight down and a 12.30pm flight back. It involved a medical and chat with the coaches.
So he WAS there albeit just for the morning.
He's on a plane soon to South Africa for the Baabaas game. He's also gonna play for the ANZAC team as well against the Lions and hes been told to use these games as an opportunity to put himself in the frame for a recall

@george33 Hoskins was in Tauranga at the camp. Flew down this morning, was back in Auckland by the afternoon.
It was a physical/medical check type of visit with the AB docs/trainers.
Make of that what you will

Leicester maybe Telea's replacement which may mean Telea will be selected for the French series.

Mark Telea playing for BaaBaas against the Boks so probably means he won't be involved with ABs this season.

Imagine it will be close to that.

Last outside back is one I am unsure on. Had heard JRK was in the frame, and noted he was playing for Taranaki, whilst the majority of the rest of the Highlanders are now on a break - wondered if the ABs coaches have asked him to keep himself fit. >

JRK will also be playing for the Barbarians against the Boks later this month. Jimi the Bruss too.

@Daffy-Jaffy well my mail was George Bridge but I've just seen an article about him likely linking up with the Force so maybe not.

I heard another wing signing as well by the Blues. Might just need to double check it.

Sullivan to start at FB

@cliff Hes off to Japan I believe

@Bovidae Hawkes Bay

@sparky said in All Blacks 2025:

@Canes4life How long is Caleb Tangitau out for? Is he still going to be unavailable in July? I agree that Narawa would be the next option on the wing.

Tangitaus projected return is early/mid July.
All going well - he will likely be involved in some way shape or form.

@Landers92 said in Chiefs v Moana Pasifika:

That looked sore. Hope narawa is alright

HIA was all clear but his nose has torn away from his upper lip.

@Frank said in Crusaders v Highlanders:

@Nogusta said in Crusaders v Highlanders:

Tangitau back in Auckland having surgery then will be back in Dunedin for rehab/training.
AB higher ups want him to be ready to go if/when he gets the call.

When he is expected to be ready for the injury he has?

6-8 weeks i believe
