    Josh Ioane for sure, way ahead of Cameron. I think he is 23 now so next five or six years likely to be his optimum years so give him some exposure now. Seems to be growing into his role nicely for the Highlanders, step up in game pressure against Canada or Namibia would be ideal start for him

    @Nevorian Maybe try him against the Argies during the Rugby Championship, but I wouldn't let him take a spot in the RWC squad that could be used for a more versatile impact player. They could keep him on stand-bye in case the worst happens (to BB or RM).

    "Jordie Barrett rules out first-five option for All Blacks"

    does not equal

    "At an absolute pinch [I can play there] but no, I'm not a 10."

    Emergency backup for Mo'unga vs Namibia or Canada - that's an absolute pinch.

    Not saying he is going to be in the plans but a better headline would be

    "Jordie Barrett says he could be a first-five option for All Blacks if they were fucking desperate"

    @Machpants I just saw Jordie's response to the 10 question on TV.

    He was laughing, but pretty dismissive, "No,...No..... look at an absolute pinch, but no I'm not a 10."

    He's possibly been reading my posts! 🙂

    It's your negative attitude that is going to cost us this WC! 🙂

    Jordie if you're reading his, believe in yourself mate. You can play any position in the backline.

    @mariner4life Fuck that.

    Shag - I'm available to play first five.

    Old, slow and haven't played in years - but, I can play the Cooper Cronk role - do nothing except tell everyone else what to do. 🙂

    We don't need these sort of selfish attitudes in the All Blacks mate.

    @mariner4life Of course we do. Without Wayne Smith there - are you really going to leave it to Foster?

    cheap shot

    Foster was a decent 10, maybe he can waddle on?

    @mariner4life Personally, I'd pick Wayne Smith and Foxy ahead of me as well, but I don't see them putting their hands up!

    yea, that's shit from them really. In times of manufactured crisis, everybody needs to hypothetically pitch in

    Was quite interesting watching all of Hunt, Ioane, McKenzie and Black playing this weekend - most of the contenders.

    Have to say, Ioane was the one who clearly stood out. He faded a bit in the last fifteen minutes or so, but based on what I saw I'm inclined to jump ship on Otere Black.

    Ioane has come a looooong way from the start of the season, where he was as much of a liability as Li. He's looking very comfortable now, it's great to see. Based on last weekend I'm a lot happier with the AB options if he carries on in that manner.

    Interestingly they are basically the same age. Otere obviously has had injuries, but will be interesting to see over the course of a season rather than one game.

    Ioane played really well though- looked very good
