    @steven-harris Damn it was hoping the Canes would nab him though at least he should get gametime with the Landers.

    Hicks looks to have been selected ahead of Alaimalo as a lock/6.

    I wouldve thought he'd be a better pick than Timu

    Agreed, I thought tiny had mainly played in the midfield, I think freedom did everything that could have been asked of him to pick up a spot

    Had to remind myself who Rhys marshall was, I know there are other young guys putting there hands up but I feel for Ricky Jackson, another right on their doorstep who had a very solid season stepping up after Coltmans injury

    Generally quite happy with the squad. I hear one player omission is because a player won't get vaccinated.

    I haven't heard about Max Hicks before. I would have liked to have seen Charles Alaimalo get that gig.

    The lack of future planning around the hooking role is a touch concerning. No one aged under 29?

    I think we can put out a really exciting backline that can test a lot of the top teams, should they all stay injury free.

    Top team

    1. de Groot

    2. Coltman
      3, Ainsley

    3. Dickson

    4. Selby-Rickett

    5. Frizzell

    6. Lentjes

    7. Tu'u

    8. Smith/Fakatava

    9. Hunt

    10. Dawai

    11. Umaga-Jensen

    12. Paea

    13. Alaimalo/Garden-Bachop

    14. Garden-Bachop/Gilbert

    15. Makalio/Marshall

    16. Johnstone

    17. Hohneck

    18. Evans

    19. Evans/Renton

    20. Smith/Fakatava

    21. Banks

    22. Alaimalo/Garden-Bachop/Gilert/Gregory/Tomkinson

    While there are not many All Blacks, I expect this squad to sit in the top three of the NZ sides.

    @southernmann i started trying but...gave up

    I'd be happy enough with yous, preference to not have frizzell mainly for non rugby reasons but i guess if we're paying him...

    any idea who might have been the vax holdout?

    The rumoured vax hold out had a very good provincial campaign...
