The recent Super Rugby Pacific finals have ignited discussions regarding the selection of players for the All Blacks, especially focusing on David Havili's strong performance. In the qualifying final against the Blues, Havili not only scored a try but also played a pivotal role in two other tries, showcasing his exceptional running, distribution, and defensive capabilities. His efforts were crucial as the Crusaders dismantled the Blues, who had been competitive in the early stages of the match. Havili's ability to fend off defenders, including a notable moment against Patrick Tuipulotu, was instrumental in setting up a try for Johnny McNicholl. Furthermore, Havili made a game-saving tackle that thwarted a potential try by Anton Segner. Despite his impressive display, Havili faces stiff competition for a spot in the All Blacks midfield from players like Jordie Barrett, Quinn Tupaea, Billy Proctor, Leicester Fainga’anuku, and Timoci Tavatavanawai. The upcoming selection for the All Blacks will be closely watched as these performances could influence the final roster.
