A few names below of Hurricanes boys who have have had calls to attend the 3 day camp.
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.

@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.

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.
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.

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

It includes extended squad members who will not be in the 32 released on Monday.So numbers mean nothing .

My point was really more about Sititi struggling against the stronger teams until he stood up against the Hurricanes in the semi-final.
I know the Reds are the Chiefs' kryptonite but don't think that's a sign he's necessarily ready to take on England, South Africa, Ireland etc. Again, it's entirely possible he does step up to the plate if he gets the call - but he's no more a proven Test No 8 now than Sotutu was a few years ago before he'd played for the All Blacks. The No 8 depth hasn't changed until one of these players with high potential proves they're capable at international level - we've not struggled for great Super Rugby 8s in recent years, just think of Cullen Grace, Luke Jacobson, Pita Gus Sowakula etc etc.

Of course but I think the excitement comes more from his ceiling and how far he's come in a short period of time. He seems to be a fast learner. His games the last 2 weeks are much improved from earlier in the season. He's come a hell of a long way in his debut season. It will be fascinating to see how he and Sotutu match up on Saturday. That will be as close to international footy as NZ players can get.

personally all i want is for us to go to Ireland and
I don't know. Watching the RWC live on tv, I heard the lamentation of Irish men and I am not convinced it would be any less painful hearing the lamentation of their women.
-
There is suddenly doubt about Ireland and they look like there current team is on the downward slope. (Based on the way the 6 nations finished and Leinster’s performance this year)
They will have an interim coach in the autumn so it seems they won’t be a strong as we have seen recently

Robertson isn't fat?
