@Steven-Harris Game against Ireland could be an afternoon kick-off (like the first Bledisloe this year) as the Wahs are scheduled to play at 7.30pm that night
-
@UpTheHarbs who are these Wahs you speak of ?
-
@Steven-Harris You know, the rugby league team that played the second half of an elimination final at the same time the ABs played against SA in Wellington?
-
@UpTheHarbs now i’m with you ,Its the “Our Year Guys”

My goal for the ABs in 2026 is to at least be the team that fans from Wales want to avoid at the WC (this video could also likely go in the stupid things you see thread)
New Zealand doesn't even get a mention. Fk me, we need to get back to our best fast and remind everyone that we are the rulers of rugby and we should be feared. RAZOR!!! Pull it together man!

Guy lost all credibility when he named Marcus Smith as the potential player of the tournament. Of all the people you could pick, he wouldn’t be in the top 50

I'm not going to take seriously a Welsh fan who thinks a Russian tea cosy is a decent rugby supporter's hat.

Ardie seems very concerned with his image. That's a hard pass for me as AB captain.
Roigard or Taylor.
Taylor is 100% AB captaincy material. As in born for the role. Only reason would be if he didn't want the responsibility or it was felt it might infringe on his own game.

He will be 36 by the time of the RWC though - hopefully his body holds up

Oh we need another coach to learn how not kick the ball away aimlessly.
This reads like Razor trying to get ahead of any more serious changes being made.

The All Blacks’ kicking out of hand has been found wanting at times this year
At times....id say most of the time
-
@reprobate Every Silverfern Match thread for a long time has been pointing out how bad our kicking from hand has been and more recently how passive how defence is.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the obvious flaws in the AB's game.

60909917/all-blacks-set-beef-coaching-ranks-improve-tactical-kicking-and-high-ball-workIs my prediction of Cory Jane as high ball coach going to materialize? He's already been with the All Black XV team for the last two season & made a big impact - surely he's the obvious candidate?

We were bad at this under Foster, anyone could tell that from the couch.
It takes a professional coach 2 full seasons to realise it needs to be fixed?Reminds me of the old adage of "A Camel is a Horse designed by committee".
