@No-Quarter said in All Blacks 2025:
Just using him as a crash ball merchant was bizarre.
the whole backline formation last year seemed designed to deliberately play against the selected players.

You spelled Beauden Barrett wrong.

Everyone should really have a look at JB form at Leinster. He has been v v v good. Wouldn’t be surprised though if he’s a surprise selection at fullback, rather than centre. His game management at 15 for Leinster has been v good

He needs to be a lot better than he was in his last stint as AB fullback if he's the answer going forward.
I don't remember these rock solid performances NQ mentioned.

Have you tried comparing him to the incumbent?

Anyone new needs to be perfect, not just a talented option. Or a prospect playing for the Crusaders.

Speaking historically outside backs who’ve shifted to the midfield have always come back to their original positions and been even better.
Jordie will be fine. Can’t wait to see him in 15 again.

I pity the opposition this year.
-
They mentioned Havili on the breakdown as a midfield option.
Fucking cheerleading morons.
Everyone gets a medal.

That's why I laugh when people throw all these names out there as ABs possibilities. They have to find people to drop first which isn't their favourite thing to do and the coaches love David Havili, so good luck to the incumbents in the midfield trying to break into the squad.
If anything, Proctor will probably get dropped despite barely been given a go.
-
That's the thing, Havili has been there already, short of him being injured he will be there, as above, Proctor is likely at risk from the form of someone like Tavatavanawai more.than Havili

I dont think Razor will move away from Jordan at fullback.

I really hope this year Razor dispels the idea that he's actually a closed minded, tactically paint by numbers coach

I really hope we start to see Jordan become a better player than the occasional flash of unbelievable magic.

@Bones TBF, it was more than occasional when he played on the wing, probably similar to how Jane rarely played FB for the ABs but forged a great career at 14.
