![]() It's our next batch of loose forwards and locks where we have less stability than in the past. The backs are areas I think we are really very solid in. He's not an Aaron Smith style halfback, but he's good for a couple of clutch turn overs a game, some confrontational snipes around the ruck, and excellent support lines (see his try of the year try for an example). I don't know how you can say TJ is average at best. I really do not see him usurping any of the current options at 13, if anything this move will probably condemn him to a string of appearances off the bench, which maybe he will be happy with, but I can't imagine that will be his goal. Reiko Ioane is still crazy talented for a 22 YO, but he will have to work hard to earn back his starting jersey. The new captain will be Sam Whitelock unless something outrageous happens. He has a big fight ahead of him if he wants to regularly feature for the All Blacks. As it is he has stiff competition from DMac, the current midfeild options who are remaining, and Ennor plus Will Jordan. He'll become a full back, a 12 or a utility sub until the next wunderkind comes along. Jordie Barrett is almost certainly never going to be a starting fly-half for the AB's.

The All Blacks XV follows in the footsteps of similar teams which have assembled throughout New Zealand rugby’s history, and adds a new element to the New Zealand Rugby set-up, representing a development opportunity for future All Blacks – as well as a chance for current players to make their case for All Blacks selection or recall. The Barbarians’ first fixture – the Killik Cup – will be against a very strong All Blacks XV team, with Auckland and Blues lock Patrick Tuipulotu to captaining the side alongside a host of well-known names. The visiting side also includes seven players with Test experience including Tuipulotu, Aidan Ross, Angus Ta’avao, Asafo Aumua, Luke Jacobson, Brad Weber, and Damian McKenzie.īryn Gatland, the son of previous Barbarians Head Coach Warren Gatland, is also included alongside the nephew of Barbarians legend Pat Lam, AJ Lam. New Zealand’s George Bridge – who will soon be heading to Mercer’s club Montpellier in France – already has a Barbarians appearance alongside his 18 caps for the All Blacks, turning out against England in 2019, and will be reunited with Scott Robertson, his coach at former club Crusaders. Two Welsh favourites in Aaron Wainwright and Rhys Webb will line-up alongside Barbarian favourite Joe Marler and his Harlequins teammate Joe Marchant. Munster prop John Ryan is waving the flag for Ireland. Alongside Teddy Thomas, Camille Chat and Tawera Kerr-Barlow, returning Barbarians Dilly Leyds and Antoine Hastoy, George-Henri Colombe, Romain Sazy, Remi Picquette and Raymond Rhule will also head to London from Les Maritimes.
