Billy proctor Ruben love

Going to be interesting. So many good players are going to miss out. No doubt more injuries in the next few months to any of those in consideration will determine eventual selections.

There's a new kid on the block ,perhaps in the style of Sonny Bill Williams, he's leaving NRL at the end of the year to play rugby in Japan, Joey Manu, a Maori player, plays for Roosters at the moment, a great gamebreaker ,plays anywhere in the backline ,great fend ,strong runner ,offloads easily ,built similar to Sonny Bill ,inside centre would be his for the taking ,hope the coach is watching ,he'd be ready for the world cup in a year or so

Great line-up! With Sam Cane now off the table perhaps another 7 to add to the squad. As you mentioned, Tom Christie has had a stellar season, Peter Lakai also appears to be up and coming too. In terms of the blindside position, I think Wallace Sititi is another potential bolter. He covers both 8 and 6 positions and size-wise is heavier than Blackadder and Iose. Iose has been a huge standout whereas Blackadder is really good but does have a history of injuries. Scrum-half - it's a shame about Cam Roigard but I think that Funaki has been sensational for the blues in place of Finley Christie. Fly-half will be interesting, seeing that Havilli has been playing 10 - although I wouldn't mind seeing someone younger climb through the ranks such as Ruben Love and Harry Godfrey (even though he's a fullback) it would be good to see them get some quality time with experienced 10s.

Good team. Love your work. I have no idea who the last loose forward from the Hurricanes was because it rolled off the tongue very quickly, but your team looks good 😃

I reckon RAZR will pick a bolter lock and not Paddy T, not sure about Delaney yet and I am a Canes man. I want to like Fakatava but he goes missing during games. Ratima, Love and Narawa for sure, we need pace and aggression in the mid and outside channels. As for the loosie mix, Iose for sure, he is the next Ardie, could be better than AS over time.

My 2024 All Blacks prediction Props: Ethan De Groot, Tyrel Lomax, Tamaiti Williams, Fletcher Newell, Xavier Numia, George Dyer Hookers: Codie Taylor, Samisoni Taukei’aho, Asafo Aumua/Ricky Riccitelli Locks: Scott Barrett, Tupou Vaai, Naitoa Ah Kuio, Patrick Tuipulotu Back Row: Luke Jacobson, Ardie Savea, Hoskins Sotutu, Peter Lakai, Brayden Iose, Samipeni Finau, Dalton Papali’i Halfback: Cortez Ratima, Folau Fakatava, TJ Perenara First Fives: Damian McKenzie, Brett Cameron Centres: Levi Aumua, Jordie Barrett, Rieko Ioane, Billy Proctor Outside backs: Etene Nanai-Seturo, Emoni Narawa, Shaun Stevenson, Mark Tele’a, Sevu Reece, Ruben Love

Our best fullback was converted to 2nd five because we are weak in the centres since Nonu and Smith departed. If you take Jordie out the centres it's still below par. Beauden for first five if he's selected. Hurricanes front row looks strong. Samipeni Finau at 6 Luke Jacobson at 8 and Ardie at 7. You get the feeling that the AB's will be in the same boat that the Crusaders find themselves.

there are so many cherries to pick in 2024 🍒🍒🍒

nice

I seriously hope that Robertson does NOT include overseas players - this is a perfect opportunity to build HIS team of what is leftover and what is IN New Zealand!!!! Time for Cane to GO!!!! He is one of the most over-rated 7s I have seen and it was ridiculous to play the best 7 in the world at 8!!!! If Savea wants to play for the ABs then play his rugby in NZ - same with Beauden Barrett! Its time to look at the future 7s - Kirifi Du Plesis and Tom Christie - the reason why Casper Papali'i is having a poor season is because he is over-rated! If I was Robertson I would NOT mess around with England and take stock with what is left over from the Foster team, play the experience and add to that!!!! It would be a serious mistake if Robertson wanted to scrape that team and start afresh! Robertson NEEDS to win against England! Robertson still has the following: De Groot, Lomax, Williams, Newell, Bower Taukeiaho, Aumua and Taylor Barrett, Tuipuotu, Va'ai, Lord Jacobsen, Blackadder, Finau, Sotutu and Ioane Roigard, Perenara, Christie, Fakatava MacKenzie, Perfetora Barrett, Havili, Tupeia, MacLoud Ioane, Leniert-Brown Clarke, Telea, Narawa, Stevenson, Reece Jordan, That is 17 forwards and 18 backs who are already All Blacks - strong base for Robertson to start from! TO that I would add the following: tighthead prop mid lineout lock Christie, Du Plesis and Grace Moreby Love

Ethan Blackadder can't stay fit for 5min

Whoever they select as loose forwards, they need something that the 2023 squad was lacking : size/go forward and genuine 3rd line out options.

Be years before we get back too the top we milked it for all its got from 2011 till 2019 with the old guns now we pay the price lol

Hey brother. Long time watcher. Loving the content. I understand this might come across as a nitpick and for that I’m sorry but I think you should know this is absolutely well intentioned. And I’m a fast talking kind of guy myself, so I get it. But I have to bring this up. You’re really butchering a lot of these players names. I get that they’re oftentimes hard to pronounce, but coming from a Māori/Pasifika background myself I also know how offended some of us get when these names aren’t pronounced properly. You don’t have to heed my advice but you could consider it. A big fan of your work and this channel too and if I wasn’t I probably wouldn’t have said a word.

Disagree with a couple of these statements made here mate. Firstly Asafo Amua has been miles better than any other hooker, secondly Stevenson is not better than Love. That being said, predicting a 36 man squad will be named, this is how I see it playing out.

luke jacobson and du plessie Kirifi u forgot

link for the tierlist?

Sevu Reece isn't there any other wingers .still overlooking kini naholo.what must that guy still do .sam cane had only one good game as an all black ,but still he is been pick .kerifi is so much better .and there is other players🤷

This accent confuses me, slightly American, slightly English, where are you from? Also no Kirifi?

I love Caleb Clark but he is not a good wing, perhaps he should look at playing centre as he like to be where the action is. He is a game breaker for me. I don't think that Reiko deserve a place in the team. What did he bring on at the World cup final/??? NOTHING

Kerifi and proctor missing, remove Recko and Cane.

Heyyy tim bro moustache looks nice. I like it you looking so handsome man

What about Akira Ioane

You clearly don't understand Robertson .He will pick at least 2 or 3 from those based in Japan!

Centres severely lacking. Reiko is no centre and Jordy isn’t affective at 2nd. We need natural centres who can bend that advantage line and set up our outsides. To say Reiko hasn’t had the best season is an understatement he has been practically ineffective since his 13 switch and shouldn’t be picked there.

Still too early to foresee, end of May we will see where we at, with so many injuries. I would still have Findlay as the 1st choice 9

Faarken hell it was always Perofeta!!
