All Blacks 2024

@Duluth A well-argued piece. Now's not the time to ditch the no overseas rule. Razor should have more than enough playing talent to create a world-class Test team.

I'd argue he inherited one.

I'm more interested in how he develops it going forward, builds depth and develops players and combinations in key positions. He has 4 years to do that and If that means 1 or 2 embarrassing losses, then so be it.

@Tim 'well recognised as probably the best analytical voice in New Zealand rugby'

Marshall mentioned in that interview that he has spoken to Razor and has an idea that he will playing less predictable pod systems, more ball in hand, and more up-tempo.

[Old Samurai Jack]

@Frank And implied that Razor was a little frustrated by the AB tactics.....

I wish Joe Schmidt was in the coaching team rather than Leon MacDonald or Jason Holland.

I would expect nothing less. Razor is there to try to bring positive change and innovation, and ultimately success

The same Marshall that told everyone Razor wasn't allowed at All Blacks games during the RWC?

There have been many times in the last 4 years where we literally didn't have a clue.
Things are about to happen, all good.

That has been the case forever with most I think. Thats why we not top coaches, we have no idea what's gong on. I can honestly say, I could see what the coaches were trying to acheive as much in the last 4 years as I ever did.

Actually with Mitchell and Deans the game plan and tactics were pretty clear I thought.
Looked good for awhile too.

Enough of the retrospectives please. Go and find one of those threads.

I generally got their tactics , but can say I get general tactics of most coaches . just not the detail. Mitchell and Deans stumped me with their selections , but as I say they knew why they wanted certain players, and I didn't. Funnuily enough I heard Umaga speak at a luncheon in Aus, he indicated there was some confusion under the Mitchell/Deans combo.

It was just the Blues 2003 tactics but then they muzzled the forwards for the RWC for some idiotic bald reason.
