    <p>Squire and Dixon. Nice work. I was gutted Squire left the Chiefs.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'm not that happy about Tamanivalu. The dude's Fijian, he should be paying for Fiji.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Great comeback for Dagg. </p>

    Are the reporters questions written for them? I'd love them to ask why some didn't make it

    <p>So 6 new caps and 6 guys with 10 or fewer tests. Good to see some new blood coming in. Big congrats to the new guys, what a buzz!!</p>

    The Ofa T question was asked but agree on all others

    Really good to see Squire there.. <br><br>
    Ofa T is a surprise for me.. Blues scrum usually gets smashed lol.. unless they're playing him at tight head where he does better <br><br>
    Looking at the squad it just looks as if they want a closer look at some of the players in their training and see how they go <br><br>

    <p>Todd would be a star for any of the Celtic Nations.  He's off contract end of 2016 I think.  May not stick around.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The single biggest interest for me now is Cruden vs Sopoaga for starting 10.</p>

    <p>Ofa T was very logical. Everyone should be able to see that he has a huge upside. He isn't ready now but he has been picked as a 5th prop. He will probably get one game off the bench or something.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Squire is a huge surprise to me. Hansen said he liked his physicality but I thought Luatua offered more of that.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Tamanivalu is in the Ofa T category I think. He's a good player to have for the future but I think Moala is better now.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Tom Franklin wasn't really on my radar. Hansen said something about him being physical and having a good workrate.</p>

    I'll bet the farm that Barrett ends up with 10 times the test caps of Franklin. Real odd call that

    <p>I'm not surprised Taufua wasn't chosen.   He just isn't a lineout option.</p>

    <p>Rokocoko came to NZ when he was 5.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Speaking of the back 3 - it's a weird mix, you've got 4 fullbacks and 2 specialist wingers. Tamanivalu, Dagg and Fekitoa to cover wing?</p>

    Franklin has been superb. I like his game and I think SouthernMan posted a while back that he could be thereabouts. <br><br>
    Good to see TKB in there. I'm not a fan of Weber's erratic style and TJP has gone backwards this season. <br><br>
    I also think Luatua has improved, but I'm not surprised that he isn't in there. He is a fringe player and when you're in that category IMO you really have to stand out especially when others are playing well.
