All Blacks 2 part Question : a) Would Warner Dearns walk into the All Blacks 23 if available/willing? b) Would he make a critical difference in games vs South Africa/France/England in RWC 2027?

My hot take is that he's the best lock in the world right now originating from New Zealand. Imagine a lock pairing of Dearns/Holland. And he has the mobility of a loose forward but the size of Holland at 2.03m. He's basically a supercharged version of Tupou V'aai mixed with Kieran Read. Playing him as lock or 6 would almost immediately fix the All Black's lack of grunt vs the Springbok and France packs.
