    And with that positional switch likely to remain leading into this year’s World Cup, Foster would have been pleased by Holland confirming that Barrett would spend the majority of the Super Rugby season with No 12 on his back.

    The Hurricanes’ plans for Jordie Barrett should enhance the All Blacks’ World Cup chances.

    That’s a long bow.

    Can’t see Love making the ABs until after the WC tbh, unless injuries strike. Also it will be interesting where the Canes select Josh Moorby, in his rookie season last year he had that 15 jersey locked down.

    I think the main thing of interest in that article is that Barrett will play 12 in Super Rugby this year.

    that's not true, it was Love who was the starting 15 by the end of last season

    Nah it wasn’t mate, Josh Moorby was at 15 and rightfully so after the season he had. Love was injured.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing Moorby shift to 14 and Love start at 15 after his form in the NPC.

    Agree. He's a good shot post BB and RM depending on the coach.

    Doesn't Love just seem to small for AB level 15?

    Not much different to Will Jordan or BB.

    Both of them would be at least 2 or 3 inches taller than Love and heavier.

    Love would be about the same as Mils.

    Judging by the never reliable internet search BB is 4cm taller and 1kg heavier. Jordan is 5cm taller and 5kg heavier.

    I'm guessing that Love (given his age and time in pro camps) has probably put a bit of bulk on since that stat as well.

    Nice to see Holland recognise how good Love was during the NPC.

    I think 2024 is more likely for Love and the ABs but I wouldn't rule it out for 2023 - he could make quite the bench impact player.

    @MN5 Yep as does Perofeta, but good that a coach letting everyone know he has a good un!
    As KiwiM says, more likely in 2024/5, but I no doubt he being watched.

    Christian Cullen, Stephen Perofeta, Damian McKenzie + more say hi.

    I see both Love and Moorby pushing for All Black selection next year.

    We also have to remember Nehe Milner-Skudder’s year in 2015. He went from a nobody to a WC star in the space of 7-8months, anything is possible.

    Love is apparently 1.83m high and 90kg, a behemoth compared to Dmac.

    I’d rather be tackled by Ruben I think. DMac has that feral Southland edge.

    Talking about feral southlanders, I met Paul ‘Ginge’ Henderson in passing a few weeks ago. (No breakfast)
