Uncapped squad
Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2020 4:48 am
OK, so let's say the incoming Welsh and Scottish tour does go ahead. Wales and Scotland both arrive in time to get some training in after the 14-day self-isolation period like the responsible good boys that they are. Unfortunately, the All Blacks squad, all of whom are capped, have gone overseas for some unfathomable reason and are unavailable. The NZRU has seen the cut of your gibberish and have decided to have you select a squad of uncapped players to play the test matches. 3 hookers, 5 props, 5 locks, 6 loose forwards, 3 halfbacks, 2 first-fives, 4 midfielders, 5 back three-quarters
