The left foot doesn't know what the right foot is doing.

There has been plenty of bagging of foster, but it's Robinson and the board who are letting the side down. You look at the Blues, and it was the changes at the top that have driven improvement through the organization.

@Gunner what do we think of Fergus Burke? had half a dozen starts this year & seemed okay

[Stargazer]

@FakatavaAllBlack He has definitely improved alot, this year. Nor sure about higher level, but that applies to more players on the list posted earlier in the thread.

Just read that All Blacks XV (A) team is to tour Canada and Europe for a few games later in year.

New Zealand Rugby’s (NZR) newest Team in Black, the All Blacks XV, will embark on a 3-week global tour playing in North America, the UK and Europe. Matches against Canada and the Barbarians have been confirmed, with two additional high profile matches to be announced soon.

great news in my opinion, give the fringe players something to help push their case! Razor to get coaching gig?

He is starting to mature as a First Five, sort of player who won't let the Crusaders down now and filled in well this year.
Not sure if he can step up to another level time will tell.

@Chris said in All Blacks XV:

I am not sure If Razor's knee replacement surgery would take him out of contention to coach this side.About 3 months recovery time, so it might not have any impact on him coaching.

True, no breakdancing.

Nailed it. The governance is rubbish, the decisions are rubbish and it flows through.

Christie is probably half the player Jacobson is, so go with him.
