[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 948221, member: 43875"] its likely crotty and scott B will be left out due to injuries. Laumape could be the big winner with crotty out for 8 weeks or so. But you could also argue that laumape's form could have started to see him get above Goodhue in the pecking order. Granted they will both be in an extended squad. I can see Moli getting selected, he's been a part of the squad. Hes seen as an important project player and he had also been playing very well, also be a big call to leave laulala out. prop selection is always interesting. Coltman has had a good season, good enough to dislodge Harris? I dont think so, pretty even really and Harris is the more established player. I like Bridge ahead of Havili as well, if Naholo can find some more form that would be great. An in form Naholo would be just what the AB's need this year otherwise we do have a bit of an open position on the right wing for Reece or even jordie Barrett to make a home for the WC. one guy I think the selectors should seriously consider is solomon alaimalo. He hasn't racked up tries like Reece & Ennor but he has created and setup a lot of tries has played mostly fullback this year and he seemed to score tries at a greater rate when he was on the wing, he has great skills and unlike most of the wing options we have he's genuinely big, athletic and seriously fast, easily one of the fastest in the NZ game. He's not a standout contender but to me he looks like a player well suited to test rugby. Just his size and speed along with the vision and skillset he has hints to me like we would see him at his best in the AB's. I know its one game but look back at that Chiefs vs. Crusaders game, he made some big plays that turned into critical moments in the game and well and truly put his crusaders counterparts in the shade.
