Played well against ABs I seem to recall.

@sparky said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
This is my All Blacks Squad at the minute:
Props: Du Groot, Lomax, Ofa T, Newell, Williams, Numia.
Hooker: Taylor (if fit), Sami T, Aumua. Riccitelli if Taylor not fit.
Locks: S. Barrett, Vaii, Tuipolutu, McWhannell, Walker-Laewere
Back row: Finau, Papalii, Lakai, Savea (c), Sotutu, Iose, W. Sititi
Half Back: TJP, Christie, Funaki
First Fives: McKenzie, B.Barrett, Perofeta
Midfield: J. Barrett, R. Ioane, A. Leinert-Brown, B.Proctor
Back 3: Telea, Clarke, Narawa, Nanai-Seturo, Reece, Love.
I thought Lakai was poor this week. All Blacks XV is probably his level. Patrick T looks like he might start against England.
Apart from that, as you were.

@Bones I mostly agree with all that.
I think JRK might sneak into the AB squad.
- The athleticism.
- Stop him going and playing for another nation.
- The old 'see what he does in the All Blacks environment' argument.
He's not in my squad either, but I could see the new coaching team going with him.
Can't see it, Stevenson and Love are both better, then there's cover from elsewhere.

Haven't read the thread.
Fuuuuuck meeeee....was every player on the team trying to out do the others for number of knock ons?
Getting pissed off with Fakatava and his ruck watching, what is up with his reluctance to just get in and get the fucking ball? Unless he sorts that out, he's not close to my AB squad.
Millar, if nothing else, you're there to fucking kick the ball impeccably. That needs sorting too.
While JRK had some brilliant touches, he also made some awful errors. He's Jordan lite. Also not near my AB squad.

Sotutu

@Duluth I like how Pat Tu'ipulotu didn't even know wh Tim Ryan was haha.
-
@African-Monkey The way I see it Funaki is competing with Fakatava for the third spot assuming Roigard is out, TJP is first and Christie is an incumbent.
Hopefully Christie's out.
McWhannell must surely be in the squad given his play this year. Safe lineout leader, body mover at rucks. Does core lock roles very well.

Is there a non region locked highlights?
