 I see our previous member Tomas is in the Argentinian squad - want to wish him well for the future.

 Mike, looking at the squad,  we are actually OK for the starting 23. We are thin on a backup 3, starting 9 and no real tested 13. The rest of the team is sorted.  

 Tatalu Pokuta-Nau willl only be available as from Round 2 of the competition.  

 Now rumour is that Dan Carter is out for approximately 4 weeks.   Will Hansen vring Slade on b oard to replace him? 

 Yes Slade well be brought in as cover. Cruden well start most likely, Barratt as reserve. Most likely this team. Woodcock and Moody well most likely out too.
1. Wyatt Crockett 2. Dane Coles 3. Owen Franks 4. Sam Whitelock 5. Brodie Retilluck 6. Jerome Kaino 7. Richie Mccaw (c) 8. Keiran Read 9. Aaron Smith 10. Aaron Cruden 11. Julian Savea 12. Ma'a Nonu 13. Conrad Smith 14. Corey Jane 15. Israel Dagg/Ben Smith
16. Ben Franks 17. Keven Mealamu 18. Patrick Tuipolutu 19. Steven Luatua 20. Liam Messam 21. TJ Peranara 22. Beaudan Barratt 23. Malakai Fekiatoa

I am beginning to take a liking to Colin Slade - when the going gets tough he is to my mind a better choice than Barrrett at flyhalf.
Do you really think that the AB's should go in with only on prop on the bench?   That may be problematic.   
There may be some merit in your selections - but can the All Blacks really a fford not to have Ben Smith in the starting line-up.   I would rather have him than Corery Jane on the Wing. 

 Well Corey Jane was excellent in the last Nz test. So prob smith fb jane RW. I ageee re Slade, Barratts the future but he did go missing in some key Canes games, so i wld be more secure with Slade. Then again Barratt did win the RC last year at elliss park. And your prob right need more then one prop cover, bt woodcock and moody are possibly out. So cover well come in.

 What about Charlie of the Blues as a prop?    

 Now Scott Sio is out for the first match as well and Laurie Weeks is in as a cover.  Have to update the squads to cater for all the new boys.

 Here you go

 Mike, write down 10353. If you want to open this topic in the future, substitute that number with the number in any topic thread address.  Easier still, bookmark this thread. :-)
