        Dixon to do the tight work for the first 55-60 then Squire to wreck havoc in the final 20.

          Dixon has got to have his shot.

          He is the next in line and would be best prepared.

          Pretty much agree with NQ.

          I'm not a fan mind you, and I prefer Luatua (did he even make the touring squad?).

          Also, re Squire i get the impression he msy not be the tallest lineout option. Thoughts?

            I prefer him too but he is currently injured

                which is a whole 1cm taller than a popular AB lock with over 50 caps

                  Looks about 6'4" like Read, Elliott and Kaino.

                    Do you have any pics of them doing handstands as well, just to be sure?

                      when was that taken?

                      Good to see Dixon is wearing his Sydenham club jersey. Watched him play for them for a couple of seasons and it was pretty obvious he was going to be a good player.

                        My two cents......

                        Cane looks like he's eaten Matt Todd.

                        Savea is definitely 6 foot 4 if his hair is taken into account.

                          I like how Cane doesn't even know how to put a jersey on properly and the other guys won't help him.

                            Looks like they've been told everyone get's free piss at the bar except Jerome cos he's the designated driver.

                              @MN5 I walked past Kaino in The Mount just after Xmas and that was the look he had on his face, as well as taking up half the footpath on his own...I decided approaching him was a bad idea.

                                JC was still scarier I reckon

                                  I would be pretty fucking terrified if JC walked past me on the street

                                    Seemed a nice enough fella to be fair but then again I never had a rugby ball in my hands anywhere in his vicinity when I used to see him down Courtney Place.

                                      @MN5 Not with that goofy grin. Oddly I never found him intimidating...he did have an "issue" with one of my teammates though.

                                        He still looked tough even with that grin. I always remember seeing him and Schalk Burger at the Tasting Room having a laugh and a couple of beers in the wee small hours after a test. Having those two tackle you at once would be rather unpleasant I'd imagine.

                                          @MN5 Yeah I bet that keeps you awake at night eh... imagine those two tackling you while you hold baby oil. Oh no! Oil everywhere.
