[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 768965, member: 43875"] it does seem like Sam Cane is being groomed as a Long term captain option. Hes only 23 but hes been in the All Blacks leadership group for two years, maybe longer. Similar personality ro McCaw but he actually talks a lot more on the field. He even does a lot of the talking in Huddles when hes on the field for the All Blacks. I expect he will probably be a chiefs co-captian this year with Messam doing 7's we have a ton of talent around the fringes. potential big movers for 2016 Laulala (could have quite easily made this WC squad) Coltman/Marshall/Harris - we have a lot of very good young hookers. I think even Taylor will struggle to keep his place. Edmounds/Goodes (moody will have a challenge to keep his spot from these 2015 super rugby standouts) Bird (still just 24, under used at the Crusaders which hurt his AB selection chances) patrick tuipulotu (Almost forgotten about him, hopefully he will be back, hes only like 22) Akira Ioane (young but looks as much a dead set superstar as anything we have produced in NZ during the professional era, just seemed to get better and better the more rugby he played) Brad Shields (I can see him jumping up the pecking order over the likes of Vito & Luatua, I think hes already ahead of Vito as far as the hurricanes go) Matt Todd (IMO hes tailor made for test footy, not quite the height of Cane but he has genuine physicality that can combat guys like pocock, hes 27 so good for 2019) Brad Weber (guy just looks destined to be an All Black) Sapoaga (2nd big knee injury for cruden could hamper him, if Lima has another big season it could force his way in) Moala (absolute beast this year, probably a better player to fill the role of Nonu than Fekitoa, got a test cap this year and looked the part) Ngatai (still just 25, such a good player but he has a lot of injury problems, got a test cap this year, seems like the kind of player who can fill the conrad smith role if he can stay injury free) Damien McKenzie (Such an amazing talent, for test footy I think his best position is 10 and I can see him even taking the chiefs 10 jersey off Cruden & Donald) [/QUOTE]
