There's a question mark over just exactly when Richie Moyer can play.

But now with Ruben Love coming in, putting pressure on these guys,

it really does open up a really interesting selection debate.

And you're right, it is going to come down to the way Ruben Love finishes out the season.

And if the Hurricanes do go on and win the Super Rugby title, and he's at the forefront of it, it's pretty hard to see it not being that way.

That's a really compelling case, especially considering they have those three tests against France, Italy, and Ireland, which you could conceivably see Ruben Love starting in if things go his way.

Well, I mean, you can select Bowdoin Barrett in another position as well, and Ruben Love as well.

So all three of those guys can play fullback as well.

I know it's been a while since Bowdoin has, and he's made it clear that he wants to be a 10, but that positional ability still exists, especially if he gets used in midweek games.

But I think that...

I'll just go back.

All of a sudden, it's four guys.

This is what we talked about the spring box, the sort of depth the spring box have had.

It's actually what Scott Robertson, it was what his core belief was four deep in every position.

And they've managed to actually manufacture that sort of by design and a little bit by accident.

They've managed to do that in arguably the most important position on the field.

Another year, another conversation about the Overlake midfield.

How long has it been since Conrad Smith and Marno?

Only since 2015.

Yeah.
