@brodean Those stats are pretty interesting in the context that I'll be pretty surprised if our midfield for the first test vs France is anything other than the tried and trusted combo of Jordie and Rieko.

As someone mentioned earlier, if our game plan really is supposed to be a wide game spreading thr ball to the edges, then ALB should be thr first midfielder picked.
But it's not. And he won't.

@taniwharugby the stats are for this Super Rugby season only https://theanalyst.com/club-rugby-stats
I haven't updated them from a couple of weeks ago so there might be a few changes.

@brodean said in 2025 All Blacks Squad v France:
ALB didn't play a full season this year but he did last year. He had zero yellow cards in SRP and gave away 3 penalties for the whole season over 14 games.
BTW I wouldn't select ALB or David Havili but for different reasons.
I'd go with:
Jordie Barrett (Hurricanes)
Quinn Tupaea (Chiefs)
Rieko Ioane (Blues)
Billy Proctor (Hurricanes)
AJ Lam (Blues)He racked up a couple in tests IIRC

3 YCs across the year, I think, against:
Australia at Accor (65th minute, they scored straight away and we went down to 13 for a bit there)]
Off the benchEngland at Twickenham (78th minute that nearly cost the match)
Off the benchItaly (50th minute)

His YC per minute played stat would be fun to calculate

@ploughboy said in 2025 All Blacks Squad v France:
a least one YC a team one? might have been two
Against England it was a tackle off the ball I’m pretty sure, just stupid from someone who should know better (and we’d already had a penalty against us).

Against Italy, he was co-captain I believe , we were on a warning and he ripped the ball after being told to let it go by the ref.
Barrett also got a Yc in that game I think.
The thread is a good read.

Against Oz, I cant remember and the thread isn’t much help
Quite some discussion of his lack of leadership thoughIt was for hands in the ruck, according to the newspaper.

@Chris-B
Yeah I'd be stunned if it wasn't Jordie and RIeko.
I am kinda shocked by PUJ's versus Rieko's stats.
It might be helpful if they were labelled at 12 or 13 but I guess too much work to separate when they've played both. -

The comment was made above that he got three YCS in the autumn series. The original YC he received in this game was for an off the ball tackle, but they then found the below and the YC was changed to a head high tackle. So two YCs in the same game.
