While we're on nicknames, that Netflix show "Baby Reindeer", has had me calling the Spring Boks that ever since.
Seems annoy Saffa mates, so I will continue with it.
Note to self: never watch that Netflix show Baby Reindeer

That is actually very good advice.

Sorry my twisted sense of humor kicked in. Black bomb cohort sounds like a group of people suffering from irritable bowl syndrome.

That is absurd to me. He has gaping holes in his game he needs to address.

@Canes4life it has, along with Beehre & CLW given Finau & Jacobsen heading home (family illness and concussion respectively)

So does Reece, so does Carter. So did NMS. So did Jonah.
And it's just for training. -

Finau's family are probably sick of waiting for him to get a run.

I think it's tough to judge him on the shitshow that was the Auckland NPC season where nearly everyone looked bad - if he was on the wing for Otago in the NPC as a comparison....

@antipodean attack wise Tangitau is a weapon 14 tries in 15 games in 2025 and let's not forget before his groin injury in super this year he had gained more metres in play than international outsides Will Jordan, Tom Wright, Sevu Reece, Caleb Clarke, Harry Potter & Max Jorgensen. there's only been 1 specific instance where I vividly remember him being well beaten in the air by the big Turbos winger Filimone. any and all deficiencies can be worked on by the guidance of Robertson & Ellison

@antipodean This All Blacks team is screaming for some X-Factor on the wing.
I wouldn’t describe Clarke nor Carter as X-Factor types. Fainga’anuku is a good ball runner but doesn’t have that top end speed Tangitau has.

CLW, Josh Beehre and Caleb Tangitau added to the squad as training cover.
Finau and Jacobsen are heading home
Clarke, Jordan, Tangitau - the back 3 for 2027 World Cup?

It sounds exciting but I honestly don't see us winning an RWC with Jordan at 15.
We need someone at fullback with a better aerial game, a better boot, and a better play making ability.

That doesn't have standard clearing kicks on regulation plays go well over his head.

Lol, the WC isn't going to be won or lost depending on whether Jordan plays 15 or 14 for god's sake.

Of course there are other factors but who plays at fullback is still a factor.
