Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

Author: Fandom Media May 11, 2026 Duration: 51:46

The All Blacks are stacked with midfield options.


Quinn Tupaea is in outstanding form, Billy Proctor is excelling, Timoci Tavatavanawai's becoming impossible to ignore and Leicester Fainga’anuku's causing havoc wherever he plays.


So does Jordie Barrett have to shift from 12 back to fullback?


The Aotearoa Rugby Pod debates the balance of the All Blacks backline, including Josh Moorby's chances, before getting into who will make the Super Rugby top 6.


Later this week .. Under 20s Rugby Championship review + Black Ferns captain Ruahei Demant on how English rugby opened her eyes to a different way.
