All Blacks 2025

[Bovidae]

The test schedule will be released on Tuesday. As Paul Cully says in his article, Hamilton getting a French test would be overdue.

The unbeaten streak at Eden Park will also be on the line against SA, if France don't play there.

@Bovidae France and Boks both could be at Eden Park

Will be you would expect, first French game probably

You'd hope so. Both genuine tier one nations that we haven't beaten in a while. As @Bovidae pointed out the streak could genuinely be on the line, particularly against the Boks. And one would maturely have to acknowledge that it would come to an end at some point.

Not me though. I'll be burning effigies and calling for the guillotine.

Boks v ABs at Eden Park, everything will be on the line.

You would think that Rassie will prioritise the assault on Eden Park as the last remaining citadels for him to conquer.

We need to win those two games in Nz to establish a new world order.

Should we lose these two a coaching shakeup would surely be on the cards.

Bring in Foster as backs coach.

@SBW1 said in All Blacks 2025:

O'Halloran is out of coaching due to health issues.

O'Halloran is back coaching with the Blues.

Well anyone watching J Barrett’s debut for Leinster, turns out he can pass. Must help not having an epileptic dog on roller skates and someone who can pass on his inside

Two awesome tests in Welly, will try and attend both.

IIRC Wellington has a current contract to have two tests each year.

I'll definitely go to the French test in Hamilton. I haven't bothered in recent years as it's always Argentina. The first time France will have played here since the 1961 tour.

[KiwiMurph]

Whilst the optics are bad I can understand why NZR were exploring shifting a test to the US considering Chch don't yet have a proper stadium and Yarrow Stadium is being rebuilt too - especially as France B are unlikely to pack the stadiums.

I suspect multiple non sell outs for the French series.

So Scotland is going to play the NZ Maori in Whangarei but no Test match? Scotland hasn't played a Test in NZ since 2000

I wonder if that means it will not be a full strength Scottish side

It won't be as the BIL tour is on at the same time. They play NSW on the same day.

[Donsteppa]

So the Eden Park record will stand for 31 years.

Hoping France bring a decent squad to NZ in July.
