    @Windows97 said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:

    What on earth has Sotutu been eating during the off season as he's been playing like an absolute beast this year. Admittedly early doors but gracious, he really seems to have bulked up and added a lot of power to his game.

    Funny you say that because watching him live on the weekend he actually looked leaner/smaller than when I last saw him live

    As you say it early doors as yet, but it's good seeing who strats season hot. Sotutu is playing the beast as is bloody Luke Jacobson, who was absolutely burying Brumbies on Sunday. Just quietly so is Tupou Vai.

    Cam Roigard must be the first-choice All Blacks Half Back.

    @sparky the way Fakatava is playing I wouldn't mind Roigard starting with Fakatava's razzle off the bench.

    Roigard showed serious pace chasing Telea in the intercept try.

    Apart from Scott Barrett and Codie Taylor, how many players from the Sith are going to be All Blacks regulars this year?

    The contest is against daylight for second place.

    @BerniesCorner I wouldn't say that but Proctor, Love and Lakai should be in contention. Early days yet.

    It amazes me where all the talent comes from year after year from a small country.
    The backline:
    Roigard, DMac, JB, Higgins, Jordan, Telea, Nareki, Love, Reiko , Jacob RK ...
    Awesome

    Fakatava is still horribly inconsistent throughout a game. Needs to not turn the ball over so much.

    @Bones fair enough, I thought he was epic tonight, he outplayed Dalton for me. He's also one of those guys that are built for test rugby, can play 7 and 8 to a high standard and is only going to get better. Might be too early for him this year but I've got no doubt he will be an AB one day.

    @Bones I'd prefer Fakatava to Christie though. Fakatava has the foundations of a very good player, just needs to iron out a few kinks, something I think the ABs coaches can do if they get him into camp.

    @Canes4life I'm sure he'll get there but I've not seen anything from him other than hard working SR player. My perception is he's not exactly a hard hitter on either side of the ball.

    @Bones hopefully he can grow into that player that hits hard but he has all the other attributes to go all the way. He's still bloody young and impressive for his age.

    Lakai? Admit I didn't see much of Canes game today but I'm still waiting to be wowed by Lakai.
