All Blacks leadership group.
-
Who are the 10 All Blacks in the current leadership group? Just wondering. Thx
-
The new 10-man leadership group, which includes captain Kieran Read, vice captain Ben Smith along with fellow tourists Sam Whitelock, Kaino, Dane Coles and Beauden Barrett, then held a meeting to decide Smith's fate.
As the evolution of the new leaders continues, one common trait remains. Like those before them don't expect this 10-man group, which includes Sam Whitelock, Jerome Kaino, Dane Coles, Barrett, Cane and Aaron Smith, to get carried away.
So thats -
Sam Whitelock,
Jerome Kaino,
Dane Coles,
Barrett,
Cane
Aaron Smith
Read
Coles
Ben Smith -
@gollum Coles is so awesome he's worth 2, I agree.
-
@Bones
One vote as a back, one as a forward -
I think Cruden is usually in there too.
-
Its interesting to see which long term ABs aren't there. J Savea not surprisingly, Owen Franks is clearly to busy practicing his try scoring celebration (or at the gym). BBBR? Only need one lock I guess. Has he ever captained a team?

He's captained the Chiefs once or twice.

Wasn't there an article earlier in the year saying Cane was no longer in the leadership group? Not much explanation and the conclusion was drawn that it was so he coukd concentrate on filling the hole left by Mccaw (or preparing him to be dropped for Ardie)
Have a vague memory that TJP being in it too but may be thinking of A Smith. I remember being surprised but that's about it.
Edit: after a quick google i couldn't find anything other than saying Cane had been added to the group. Search also suggested BBBR and SBW were included too. No mention of tjp which is understandable.
-
I thnk that was an oversight that he hadnt been listed in that article IIRC, given he has been part of the LT for a while, it would have been odd to remove him.
-
I also remember a discussion about Cane not being in the leadership group.

I can vaguely remember something like that coming up but I'm pretty sure it was proven wrong pretty quickly. Probably Canes4Life or Winger getting uppity.

According to this article, the members of the leadership group are:
Beauden Barrett
Sam Cane
Dan Coles
Aaron Cruden
Jerome Kaino
Kieran Read
Brodie Retallick
Aaron Smith
Ben Smith
Sam Whitelock
Sonny Bill WilliamsNot sure whether we can really believe this to be correct, because the rest of the article is way off the mark.

Sonny Bill WilliamsHow fortuitous to have someone so experienced to head up the "funny business in public restrooms" subcommittee.

Doubt it's 11 players. With that many it's pretty diluted, almost a 3rd of the squad.
