All Blacks 2024

Blues lock Sam Darry, Hurricanes outside back Ruben Love and the Crusaders pair of prop George Bower and midfielder David Havili will also assemble with the squad as cover.

You have to admire the loyalty, I guess

@ACT-Crusader said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
A starting loose trio of Finau, Papali’i and Savea for England 1 could do the business
You know he's going to start Blackadder.

Nah I don’t think he will. Bench spot. Well at least my email to him told him not to.

7 Crusaders. And the Captain
Image if they had won again
Absolutely gutted for Grace, Lio-Willie, Hannah, Hotham, Havili, McLeod and Fihaki. They were very hard done by.

The bad/lame jokes thread is in the off topic section

@sparky
To be honest these days the wing position is probably the least specialised position on the pitch and can be covered by any number of backs. -

no specialist 15 really. 10/15s and a 12/15.

England's high ball specialists will be licking their lips. Expect them to go to air a lot.

I'd prefer Ratima, but I just see them going Christie, gut feeling. Esp after TJ shat the bed in the semi

What idiot thought putting Kirsty Stanway front and centre of so much of Sky Rugby coverage is a good idea?
Her voice makes me want to cut my ears off and her knowledge is awful.

Her voice is so annoying.

Devlin nails it with Tosi

Devlin nails it with Tosi
Surely that was leaked to him.
Out of interest, how many kegs is Tosi carrying these days?
-
So just to be clear: The team that couldn't make a finals series of top eight in a 12 team competition has more All Blacks than the team that won?

I think we'll be OK there - more concerned about the 9/10 area and England's ability to pressure there.
-
To be fair to Razor this is his first match and has erred on the side of caution.
I would have gone Ratima-DMac, Love 15.
Sotutu very unlucky that Savea happens to play 8. -
Sotutu is baffling for sure but he'll be there at some stage and will have the opportunity to prove he should've been there from the beginning.

If he doesn't leave after being snubbed by two coaching regimes.
Maybe if he moved to the Crusaders Ryan will pick him. What a joke.

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:
Does this point to Will Jordan as a 15 come The Rugby Championship
I hope so. There’s just not enough Crusaders in there at the moment.

They won how many in a row?
All the crusaders haven't turned to poo because their coach has.
(Not supporting the Bell pick though)

So form means nothing. Got it.
