@Landers92 Not worried about Cameron being there, every chance he will be there or thereabouts for the AB vx later in year?

Given this era of red and yellow cards, I'd say 11-4 would be a pass mark - anything better will be pretty good.
That's a win ratio of less than 75%.
Depends on the context of the losses, of course, but if Robertson slips 4 games there will be serious questions asked - esp. after the hype.
Actually it's a bit worse, because we're only playing 14 games - so 10-4 for my pass mark.
It's a tough schedule in a rebuilding year and I expect us to get dudded by cards/refs in at least one game.
I can't really take the hype into consideration - just go with what I think is reasonable.

A few names below of Hurricanes boys who have have had calls to attend the 3 day camp.
Billy Proctor, Ruben Love, Peter Lakai, Asafo Aumua, Brayden Iose, Brett Cameron, TJ Perenara and Jordy Barrett. Quite possible there’s more but that’s the only oil I have for now.
Starting losing your minds over Brett Cameron in 3,2,1…… go!
9 crusaders also attending that camp I believe it includes extended squad members who may not be in the 32 come Next Monday.

Geez I hope Leon wasn't serious on Breakdown in saying the AB squad of 32 has been picked for some time. Quite novel and ingenious to ignore form in finals matches.
What an auspicious way to start a new regime! Brett Cameron and TJP will be grateful.There was a final selection meeting held in ChCh the week before the Semi Finals so I heard.

Very likely.
Was more just a joke in reference to the game thread for the semi final on Saturday night haha

Huh, well there you go. Finals rugby is really no consideration for selection when the crusaders aren't involved.
-
The reality is most of the squad was picked in February
-
Given the under 2 week lead in and relatively small squad size it doesn't surprise me that most of this first squad is already sorted.
I think I heard the squad for The Rugby Championship is 36 so a chance for some others to push through (in addition to any injuries that come up between now and then).

No IWL?
I'd be curious as to which Highlanders are there. Paul Cully did mention Mitchell Dunshea as one of the locks who could replace PT.

I did ask about but couldn’t give me confirmation.

@Chris-B said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
@Bovidae No Lomax either, so I'm sure there's a few more to be added to Landers list.
Yeah no doubt he’s there. It was just a quick list I was given.
Again I was told there was quite possibly a fair few more. Just didn’t have confirmation so didn’t speculate on a few names. Lomax goes without saying thought you’d think.

23 into 9 doesn’t really add up, so not sure if our sauces are aligned
-
@ACT-Crusader I would imagine there would be a lot more than just test contenders wanted at this stage.

@Mr-Fish said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
I'd say the hype around Sititi is even worse at the moment. He's had one great game against the Hurricanes and one great game against Moana Pasifika. Otherwise, he's failed to replicate that similar form in the games in between.
I take it you missed the quarter final where Sititi was also excellent?
-
I'm liking this new excuse pre-prepared for Razor: World Rugby is now more competitive.
What else can this thread conjure?

Someone has to hold a bag at some point.

Poor old Foster on the other hand lost to a bunch of chumps.
Rugby is so unfair
