All Blacks v Argentina II
-
My backline assuming fitness for Boks
9. Roigard (but will be Christie)
10. Love
11. Clarke
12. Jordie.
13 Ioane (wing cover) stop gap 13
14 Carter
15. JordanBench backs - Preston, Tupaea. DMac
Beauden dropped, Proctor dropped.
Jason Holland fired.
Love brings new chemistry and energy to a stale backline.
If squad rules don't allow more changes, secretly kneecap a couple of players to bring a semi fit Tangitau in.

@Jet Too many cheerleaders and former players in the NZ media and not enough actual journalists.
That Breakdown show is a national disgrace and everyone involved in it should be ashamed. Utterly ashamed.
Week after week, a panel of uncritical, naive cheerleaders are wheeled out to compete about who can read out talking points their pals in the All Blacks coaching set up have given them in the most gormless manner.
Week after week, they talk up the current All Balcks as if they are a mixture between the Harlem Globetrotters and the 1924-5 Invincibles.
The Aotearoa Rugby pod is little better. The same with the NZ Rugby press.
It's high time the coaches and the senior player got used to a bit of criticism again.

If only Ma'a would stop playing and start criticising...

Morning.
Still frustrated about this. I'd taken the win for granted. We got wasted. Ref was fine.
Please Razor make the tough calls
Roigard-DMac-Jordan-JB-Proctor-Clarke-Love just do it.
Savea or Sititi(C)
Forwards are fine. Get SB firing on all cylinders. -

For those advocating Carter (and to a lesser extent Narawa), they were the two Chiefs wingers who were part of their back 3 being badly outplayed in the air and losing the super final.
You just advocated for DMac...

The segment I hate most on the Breakdown this year is when they invite the New Zealand public to vote on who the All Blacks should pick.
And then their panel of insiders condescendingly mock the great unwashed for not having the same opinions as the "experts". Just awful.

He might have a few other issues but you can see why they at least wanted to have a look at Fihaki. He chases hard and his arial work with his size and athleticism is very good.

@gt12 I don’t think that’s how it works though. Yes there is a bit more autonomy from the Assistants in making their case for their respective areas, but there still needs to be Razor sign off. So I don’t think he’s phoning it in or abdicating his responsibility as head honcho.
Last week we found a way to lift and critical to that was possession. This week we didn’t value the ball and when you’re chasing it becomes both on impossible to do anything that can turn it.

They’d have kittens if they logged onto the fern by the sound of it

Bring in Schmitt after RC he is available then.
Read Foster's book and you'll begin to understand why Schmidt wanted nothing to do with the AB's after RWC2023
Old school?
NZR's relationship with the players was not good to put it mildly - money and marketing came before almost anything else.. And the treatment of the team management was simply appalling. Schmidt clearly had had enough.
Might to a mini book review and post it somewhere.

Done.

Scott Hansen is the coach, Razor looks at the 'bigger picture' - whatever you interpret that to mean.
