We should beat Ireland in the US. It’s their first match together and not at home.
Yes, 2016 and all that but Ireland arent really a side on the up.
England will be the toughest side to beat. They will be fired up due to 3 close losses last year. It may depend on how many injuries England come into the game with.
Wales will be easybeats.
Scotland have one of their best sides so will be looking to create history. They will mstch us in many areas and probably have a better backline than ours. AB fans cannot handle anymore unwanted history.
Overall, we should win 3 and go close to a slam.
Historically, UK and Ireland teams have a dip after a Lions tour so if that continues then a grand slam would be a great achievement for this All Black side.

@nostrildamus Look at their backline.

Best in years. Some seriously classy players.
Unfortunately I'm sure they'll do the rabbit in the headlights act they always do and shit the bed against the MIB. They just don't play the All Blacks as much as Argentina and Ireland ( they last toured here in 2000. Fucken 2000 !?!?!?!?!?! ) who have both strung together some well deserved victories.

I refuse to let probability let alone a decent dose of reality enter my predictions..

Plus.....it's only Scotland. Granted, they're no Wales, but they're still a bit shite.

Better AB sides than this have battled to wins at Twickers, so there will be fuck all in that game. I wouldn't think we would start favourites for any reason except "aura".
Scotland will absolutely think they are a hope at history. As noted above, their backline is better than ours, both in personnel and the way they use them. I don't rate their pack though, especially the tight 5. But shit if it's close and that Murrayfield crowd is fully engaged...
I reckon we beat Ireland, a team definitely on the decline. No chance the ABs treat this one like a sight seeing holiday on the way to Europe.
No set of results would surprise me. Okay maybe 4-0 or 0-4. 3-1 would be a good tour. 2-2 would be shit. 1-3 would be a disaster that should see mass changes.

Here's a positive take -
ABs have won all their first up matches v France, Argentina, South Africa & Australia this year.
Hopefully that carries into the end of season tour.
Ardie uses all his energy in the first game and we keep playing him full minutes every other game to our own detriment. Cant see Razor taking any learnings out of that though.
I think we might lose two, which for me is also a disaster.
Love watching Scotland right now hopefully not run through us though!

If they go 0-4 they might as well not come home. And Razor will need a horse we can spit at!

Back in the days where there was no social media to abuse people the arsehole Rugby "fans" had to do it face to face I guess.
New Zealands treatment of John Hart was absolutely shameful.

I'm predicting we lose to Scotland and Fergus Burke kicks a late penalty with 5 minutes to go in the match.
However I think we will win the other 3 games and flog Wales by 50+ points to round out the year.

It's a shame Sean Maitland retired, he could have got a hat trick otherwise.
