@Crazy-Horse So no different to Fozzie's reign?
Yes and no. I might be having selective memory but I don't recall the shit thrown at Fozzie being based around what province he was from.
@Crazy-Horse It happens all the time on here both ways and it won't stop anytime soon no matter who's coaching/what players get selected etc.

Canes could play Jordie at 1st 2nd or center with Higgins at 2nd 5. Esp in case of injury to Proctor or Cameron
Ardie for captain. Maybe
Robertson’s coaching style is far different to outgoing All Blacks coach Ian Foster, characterised by his visionary mindset, in which campaign themes and imagery play a prominent role. Unlike his predecessor, Robertson will embrace new-age coaching methods and challenge the status quo. His desire to be himself and connect with younger generations sets him apart from more conservative elements in rugby administration.
Robertson’s coaching philosophy is expected to be a blend of traditional rugby values with a sense of freedom and lack of inhibition. He aims to make the All Blacks a team that speaks to younger generations both figuratively and literally.As he steps into his role, Robertson brings with him a seasoned coaching team that includes Jason Ryan, Leon MacDonald, Jason Holland, and Scott Hansen. While Robertson has been tight-lipped about his game plan, he has acknowledged the need for a different approach in test rugby compared to Super Rugby but what will his side look like?
Jordie Barrett can play anywhere in the backline it seems - possibly to the detriment of his desire to play in the midfield, but is forming a powerful connection alongside Rieko Ioane. Barrett has a phenomenal skillset and is renowned for his long-range kicking ability and skills under the high ball. He’s quick and strong too, useful in both attack and defence.

@Winger if given enough opportunity I'm picking Higgins to make a strong push for that AB 12 jersey over the next few years. It's pretty obvious he's a classy player with a high skill set but he also has the size to be an international class 12 aswell.

He may have to leave the Canes to achieve that, it maybe hard with the game time he gets.

@cgrant Selby-rickit is coming off a great npc season but is yet to stamp his mark at super level
@Grooter said in All Blacks 2024:
Selby-rickit
I don't want to dredge up old stories but I have just been reading that court case and while I don't obviously get the full story and the victim sounds too pissed at the time to know himself the whole story, the guy sounds like he has a serious aggro problem. A shame if so, he seems talented.
-
13s: who is most likely competing with Rieko in 2024, Ennor?

@Kiwiwomble he's coming back sooner than later

@nostrildamus MSR needs to show that aggro on the field.

You missed Blackadder a certainty.
If fit... the guy has been an injury magnet.

- Rakete-Stones, don't think so. Mafileo is someone they clearly like the look of.
- Walker-Leaware is just a worse version of Tupou Vaa'i
- Blackadder and Flanders, fair enough, particularly if Cane takes his sabbatical
- I'm not sold on Perofeta, I'd almost say Sullivan may be likely depending on which way round they play in SR
- Forgot about Tupaea, so agree there
- Stevenson will be an interesting one. Part of me wonder if the fact he will be 27 counts against him.

Has anyone seen the dates and venues for the England series
