“Congratulations Beauden Barrett on your 200th test, especially in this important 2028 Rugby Championship clash against the Springboks.”
Don't give them ideas, they're probably reading.

All Blacks coach Scott Robertson is certain to make changes for the test against Wales, but you would expect he won't tell captain Scott Barrett to take a rest.
Barrett won't have an appetite to return home in the knowledge his most recent appearance for the All Blacks was while giving interviews as the defeated commander in chief.
Robertson, who is contracted to NZ Rugby through to the 2027 World Cup, is likely to be asked tough questions from the board when he returns Down Under.
Things are busy on the home front. There's a whiff of change in the air.
Hmm ... We can only hope that an intelligent chairman gets rid of an idiot coach.

Parker, Finau, Jacobson, Sititi - all complete failures this year from the Chiefs. Same players responsible for their team having a record loss in the 2024 SR final, a loss in the 2025 quarter final, and didn't fire a shot in 2025 final.
Picking all four of them was insane. To make matters worse, the retard coach picked Vaai at 6 too. No imagination, let alone intelligence or analytical ability.
Good lord, what a shit group of players.

The absolute worst selection this year for me was Sevu Reece. The guy is shit at test level, as was revealed constantly in 2024. He is never making the world cup, he is never doing anything good. Why the fuck was he there. Terrible. Only an idiot would select him.
-
Well Holland already jumped/pushed.
Hansen, Ellison to go?...but again, who comes in for these guys? Cupboard seems bare right now.
What's worse, is the shit show extends beyond this coaching team, NZR has shit on thier hands, right back to how Foster was appointed, how Razor was appointed and the whole process.

@BerniesCorner said in All Blacks 2025:
we do have a forward pack that can compete with anyone
Except England and Sth Africa - and poss. Argentina.
What's worrying is Ryan has done a great job with the tight 5, players selected by Foster have been developed and new talent like Holland brought into the team - yet they still go to shit for extended periods regularly.
There's something very wrong with the headspace/culture of this team - and it isn't getting any better

@Victor-Meldrew You are arguing with an old boomer retard. The only person I have blocked on here.

If appointing Robertson/undermining Foster was a board decision, rather than a Mark Robinson solo decision, I wouldn't count on it.

In 2004, Henry took over an ABs team with a lot of psychological hang-ups.
Struggled in SA, went to NH and destroyed France. Best game I have attended in person.
This was a game in which we didn't have better players overall, but we out coached them easily. We need to move on from these dunces, and have smart coaches now

Money aside, I think this is a little different to Foster. Possibly easier to just sweep house then trying to make this regime work.
Because I am a nice guy, I have been holding off upon making a post about you. You were such a Scott Robertson sycophant that you made a post saying that Ian Foster shouldn't be the AB coach because he was a Christian.
You were so ridiculed that you deleted your account and made a new one.
Now your new thing is to post that Caleb Clarke should be dropped because he plays for the Blues. You are absolute dumb garbage.

I think we all agree that the ABs coaches aren’t exactly pulling their weight right now
