The 2026 test season should start with Ardie Savea being hanged at Eden Park. His body put on permanent display at NZRU headquarters. A warning to all.

I just realised he stole one of mine as part of that. Imagine plagiarising one of my rants!

Kudos to you having the time and dedication to get busy on multiple forums. Even better you recognise your work, I probably would have argued against them.
I don't quite know how the reddit works, does it say they're a drua fan?

@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
The coaches and the leadership group are hopeless. Anyone responsible for the loosies, the backline, and defence can fucken give themselves and uppercut and jog on. If I had my way I'd bin the lot of them including Razor who must carry the can for selection. Realistically I'd like to see him kneecapped in a coaching sense, lose all his assistants bar Ryan, water down his authority in areas of selection and overall game plan and philosophy
-
My answer to Razor is you're best is not good enough

i do not post on their rugby reddit it's a dumpster fire
reddit is for tits and NRL game day threads

I would love to see Etene Nanai Seturo and Caleb Tangitau on the flanks
ENS with his footwork and size would bring something completely different not to mention a tremendous left boot which is weapon and Tangitau with his speed would compliment a slick back 3 with Jordon
Leicester Fainga’nuku at 13 and Quinn Tupaea at 12 and Ruben Love at 10 ,Roigard at 9
That would be my dream backline ,Jordie Barrett ,D Mac and Dylan Pledger as reserve cover
I know Ruben Love’s selection at 10 would turn a few heads ,but imo i believe his future lies at 10 -

Weird how Lio Willie was not in serious contention for selection after Wellington.
Must have one of the highest win percentages in NZ rugby this season when on the pitch, 25 wins from 29 matches plus a win for the A team in Bath.
Doubt a good player is starting so many games and ending up on the winning team by coincidence.
Was the best forward in the 2nd best NPC team, was one of the best, if not the best, forward in the super rugby winning team. Comprehensively out played his chiefs counter parts in the super rugby final. Definitely deserved more game time
Generally agree but would say Flanders was the best 8 in the NPC.
Would have had him over Kirifi but ultimately think he is too small to be a world class test player.
You think Flanders is too small? He's bigger than our current loose forwards aside from Parker. He's too big for our current coaches.
Badly worded on my part sorry. Clw is too small.

to be fair I thought the stuff they didn't copy was better, calling out Australia for being shit on reddit for example would have doubled their views and reactions lol
-
sheer cowardice

To be honest, I'm sort of OK with it, the more of the rugby public that realise how diabolical things have gotten under this coaching group, the more pressure NZR will be under to move them on before the next RWC. Doing Gods work @mariner4life

Should probably be Taylor
disagree, Taylor plays with a bit of an edge that i don't want to see dulled.
And that’s why I didn’t want Scooter to be AB captain either. He was playing damn well and with a great level of confrontation to close out 2023.
