The All Blacks Who Are On The World Cup Selection Bubble After 2022

The All Blacks are looking for their next World Cup squad for 2022. Some players are on the bubble, while others are in the frame. The forwards are the most uncertain, with Ethan de Groot, Samisoni Taukei'aho and Tyrel Lomax expected to remain the first choice front row. Joe Moody is coming off an ACL injury and will turn 35 during the tournament. Nepo Laulala is struggling to win back favor after this year's Ireland series. Aidan Ross and Ofa Tu'ungafasi are also in contention. The squad size has been expanded for the next tournament, but it is still expected three hookers will be taken.
