They beat Ireland, but lost to SA by a point and just lost to France at home in their last 7 games.
I say they are on the up
Will be a good test for us, especially upfront.
I'd say they're about where they've been for the last however many years. They're up and down from game to game, extremely hard to track any improvement.
Again, England or NZ ...?
New England

Is Collin Millar worth condsidering as a future All Black 10, 27 points was a pretty descent haul and he is in descent form, still only young?

Cam Millar haha. Yup only 20 years old, and every young SR starter is worth keeping an eye on so yeah, why not. Looks a fairly composed 10, plays a more traditional style where he plays a but deeper than other 10s, haven't seen him take the line on a lot yet, but Admittedly, I've only seen him play twice and Highlanders fans would be able to shed more light on him than me.

Cam is a good prospect. Reads the game really well, kicks well, but I am not sure he has the running game to be an ABs ten... certainly wouldn't write him off though, because he does have elements of his game (composure and goal kicking) which would make him well suited to test rugby.

You talking England or NZ...?
The similarity of the results are not lost on me.
However, they were more impressive in their loss to France than a certain team in black

Squad named by Robertson on June 24th.
I’m hoping Blackadder and Grace get picked just for the fern meltdown that would ensue.

“So, Scott, if you could give us one reason why you should be the next ABs coach, what would it be?”
“Crusaders 2024.”
“Job’s yours mate, well done”
-
Robertson is being hung, drawn, and quartered before he's even picked the team.
Tough crowd in here. -
Not sure if NZ rugby will be so pleased with those fucks from the Herald starting this rumour a on nothing response to a baity question.
-
Sam Cane won't be involved with the ABs, if he was ever in contention. Edit: at the end of the year. Finished with the Chiefs though.

Tough crowd in here.Reminds me of the hype around Deans. Hopefully Robertson is a bit more successful.

Deans did really really well coaching a snake pit in Australia. Consdiering how the next few coaches went (literally) he was fine.
Still shouldn't have gone though. One of our biggest rivals, right in our media cycle - just go takea NH job for more money and less stress

Blackadder (despite having a great engine), is the Josh Lord of the South Island.
Pffft, even with the name Lord he hasn't recieved a fingernail of the hype of Ta$man Jesus. He's barely Naki Altar Boy in comparison.
But yes, foodbill wise he's up there, same with Sullivan.

Interesting that Stuff article on Cane mentions a 32 man AB squad. Presume nine front row, four locks, six back row, two halves, two first fives, four midfield and five in back three?

Why not 20 front row?

In my opinion I believe Sam Cane will be in the All Blacks this year.
