Jacobsen are certainties.
I'm sure he will be picked but there's no way Jacobson should be a certainty

I really can see him being the starting 6 and stated the reasons earlier in this thread.

@sparky yeah I suspect they will go for Ratima and Roigard, and I will be happy enough with that because Ratima did well last year. We're well stocked at 9.
Ratima had a run of poor form near the end of the year last year and lost his confidence - to put it kindly.

So with Reiko Ioane back in form, who misses out in the selection for the ABs in midfield?
Proctor
ALB.

@brodean said in All Blacks 2025:
I'd take Lam over Tavatavanawai. I think Lams game is better suited to test rugby. Both will probably miss out to Havili and Ennor.
Lam is bigger and plays arguably in a more test-like Super team but with less turnovers.
How do/could they compare as a backup wing? -
I don't think it is scandalous to consider Savea and Sititi are viewed as ahead of Sotutu at 8 in AB coaches' eyes (and of course they play 7 and 6 as well) but he seems pretty useful to the Blues to me, not sure he has really been playing as badly as some here suggested (I haven't seen today's game).

Nobody here picking Beauden? Or more accurately, picking the coaches to pick BB?

Huh? Everybody knows he's a certainty.

Who's your backup 12? Havili or Lam?

My bad. Didn't know it was season-ending.
