    @bones probably more durable than crotty

    There you go with the rugby analysis again.

    Ok, as you are new to this game well give you a little leeway.

    Why don't you regale us with how it's not the coach from counties fault that the blues are rubbish.

    That topic is a bit advanced for this audience.

    Do you like Santanas early work or his late 90s stuff? Your answer will explain a lot about you.

    Neither, an overhyped player with a one game reputation.

    You have to admire confidence, no matter how misplaced

    The All Blacks have confirmed the list of players to attend their North Island foundation camp in Auckland today, with a return for dumped winger Julian Savea.
    
    
    Blues - Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Patrick Tuipulotu, Akira Ioane, Rieko Ioane, Sonny Bill Williams, Matt Duffie.
    
    Chiefs - Kane Hames, Nepo Laulala, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Damian McKenzie, Anton Lienert-Brown.
    
    Hurricanes - Jeff To'omaga-Allen, Dane Coles, Vaea Fifita, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Ngani Laumape, Julian Savea, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Jordie Barrett.
    
    
    Injured stars Kane Hames, Nepo Laulala, Nehe Milner-Skudder will attend, although young Hurricanes hooker Asafo Aumua is an absentee, not attending due to illness.
    
    Halfbacks Brad Weber and Augustine Pulu have been overlooked.

    Atu Moli - though I guess he was an apprentice - one who played.

    @kiwimurph said in AB Positions up for grabs:

    So the only halfbacks invited to either the SI or NI camps are Aaron Smith, TJ Perenara and Mitchell Drummond.

    @bovidae said in AB Positions up for grabs:

    No Harris?

    And the hookers who have been invited thus far: Aumua, Coles, Coltman and Taylor
    (edited to add that I assume Coltman is only there because of Coles still being injured, but it's significant that he seems to have been picked ahead of Harris).

    Early signs?

    Makes sense given their last performances, injury not withstanding.

    @tim It would make sense IMO.

    What I don't understand is why NZR can't be bothered to publish the full lists themselves.

    I take it they aren't going camping in the wilderness then.

    Captaincy in the absence of Read ... my pick would be Sam Whitelock.

    Another one-day SI All Blacks camp in Chch tomorrow.

    This article only mentions the Highlanders going into camp:
    Ben Smith, Aaron Smith, Waisake Naholo, Liam Squire, Dillon Hunt, Luke Whitelock and Liam Coltman

    No surprises; same list as last time.

    @tim I'd go along with what he actually said... Not what the headline said he said.

    @bones my guess is the headline writer and the article writer are different people, with the headline person not paying alot of attention to the article...I mean the first line would make you think the writer wanted the headline to be something more like:

    "Personally, I think he's the best centre in New Zealand"
