At this precise moment, thinking about rugby tests against South Africa, Australia and Argentina is as probably as distant as the length of a Bond-Murray victory.
It is all about what is happening in London and our athletes there, and so it should be.
But in a couple of weeks' time, the Games will be over, the swimmers, volleyballers and weightlifters will have put their feet up, and the black jersey will once again come into focus.
After the three-test series in June against the Irish, which blooded a couple of new faces, the real litmus test is about to begin.
Guys like Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Aaron Smith and Sam Cane will really have to show their full credentials.
But they probably will not find a better time to be exposed to the top level. The opposition are not what they have been over the past couple of years.
The Australians are suffering from a lack of depth, especially in the engine room.
A couple of injuries to key players - lock and captain James Horwill is already down and out for the year - and the Wallabies are struggling.
The South Africans are also not what they once were.
A host of Springboks pulled the pin after the World Cup and, although there are always replacements in South Africa, experience at playing at the very top level will be missed.
As for the new boys who come into this competition, Argentina, who really knows with them ?
They will probably be fairly average - poor more than likely - away from home, but back in front of their own fans they will be tough going.
Argentina does not play a lot of rugby. It gives the ball to the opposition and then tries to force mistakes.
Sometimes that works at home, as it gets the calls and seems to become more aggressive.
But up against the cream of the top sides in the world, that policy may be as successful as National's tilt at increasing school class sizes.
The South American side is ranked well below the All Blacks and, although one day it will happen, it is hard to see the All Blacks going down to the Argentinians this year.
As for the squad picked by All Black coach Steve Hansen and co, it was a relatively straightforward selection and good news for the Highlanders.
Adam Thomson and Hosea Gear were the most at risk and if neither had made it they may have been tempted to look overseas and kiss goodbye to the Highlanders.
But they have made the cut and so will most probably link with the Highlanders next season.
Gear deservedly won out over Zac Guildford while Thomson will be fighting it out with Victor Vito and Liam Messam for the blindside flanking spot.
Big Chiefs prop Ben Tameifuna needs to go away and get fitter, and wiser.
He obviously only made the squad to play the Irish because Charlie Faumuina was out injured.
He is only young and will come again but at the moment there are simply some better than him.
