I'd add George Bell in there as a young gun hooker coming through and obviously Ruben Love as another fullback option.

Centre : No young guns here, which is a worry.
He is returning from injury but I'm hoping we see Gideon Wrampling on the field for the Chiefs soon. He can play at 2nd 5 or centre, and on the wing.
The (very brief) showing that he had pre-injury looked very promising. Hoping he gets a run of gametime to show what he has.

If Love wants an AB career I reckon he needs to concentrate on 10
ABs 15 option list keeps growing but 10 is a fairly bare cupboard and he would have an experience jump on the youngsters coming through.

hopefully some new faces will present themselves this year, after 2020, a disrupted 2021 as well, it will have affected development, potentially put a few out of the game, but with the rugby world back on track in 2022, we will start seeing some names reappear

From Highlanders perspective
Fabian Holland: The kid is exceptional. Just hope he gets some decent time on the park.
Sean Withy: Looks to be getting big and strong over the last couple of years. Can cover all loosie positions, could be a top quality bench option.
Martin Bogado: Will be interesting to see why the bought this guy over
Cam Millar: I'm still not sold on him.

Holland definitely. Looks like a future ABs.

@cgrant Lakai is height of 1.86 (shorter than Ardie at 1.88) so really needs to move to 7. Good weight for a 19 year old (109). He would be fine at 8 for super rugby but criticized as an AB 8 (as Ardie is)
After seeing him in person in Levin on the weekend, I feel he will have no trouble at 8 at test level. The guy is built like a brick shithouse, and runs bloody hard. I think he will be successful no matter where he chooses to play.

@Canes4life Is he quick enough to be a 7

Aiden Morgan isn't to bad
Riley Higgins and Harry Godfrey have some big wraps on them too
