The social media fluff stories probably wouldn’t seem so annoying if we were happy with the on field performances .
My most annoying one of the year.I remember a day or two after the Wellington boks disaster, they ran a feel good story on how that was the Xxth ( can’t remember the exact number ) test the Barrett’s have started together .
No mention of how shit we played.

All Blacks v Ireland, Saturday, 18 July, Eden Park, Auckland, kick off TBC.
This game could end up being an afternoon kickoff. The Warriors have a home game at 7:30 pm that night.
If the Warriors are worried about their gate they can change.
You really think All Blacks v Ireland is going to be affected by a Club game?
(Not that I'd object to an afternoon kickoff off.)

Have been told that Nick Evans is the new assistant.
Reliable source so don’t think they are pulling my leg. Unsure when to expect an announcement but that’s about the only oil I’ve been able to provide
What role? Will he have much influence?

Unsure but replacement for Holland is all I was told

That makes sense, he runs attack for Quins and did for England I think.
Would be good to get a better defensive mind / coach in there as well.

@Bovidae said in All Blacks 2026:
The articles I read said that Holland's role changed, and was then reduced, so Evans won't want to be another bit-part coach.
No point in hiring someone with an international reputation stronger than the other assistants if they don’t get the keys to the car.
Will they sideline David Brent is the question?
-
I've accepted Razor won't be going anywhere but if Scott Hansen is moved on that'll be very good heading into 2026.
-
Well lets hope if it is Evans, he is given the appropriate level due for the role, certainly speaks well and comes across with great analysis of the game, hopefully this transfers to the park if given the role...his own experience with AFL and being able to kick certainly should be a good additon too.

It would be interesting to get some inside oil on Evans opinion on the current and potential 10s. I've enjoyed what I've read of his comments, unsure on what his social skills and emotional intelligence are like.

Always seemed like a relatively astute guy

I wonder how many at NZR are singing under their breath "If I can't have Tony Brown, I don't want nobody, baby"...

That would be great. Especially if he's the assistant to Razor, not Hansen.
