@KiwiMurph Well I didn't get feedback either, but it is because I am not in the picture - same for him I guess
But I agree, every player in NZ that has played for ABs, MAB or ABXV should be getting some feedback from the ABs group in some way

Basic stuff when you think about it.

The ABs have solid players across the park now. I'm looking for a good year.
True, but there's also some glaring issues across the park - unsettled 6/7/8 and a midfield which needs some serious work.

Yeah. I'm kinda tired of a 6/6/6. Love a greyhound at 7

Bout time some of the young Canes got a decent run.

If it were up to me I’d pick the two 7s boys (Tangitau and Carter) on the wing with Jordan at fullback.
Razor, an email will be coming your way

The way Jordan is playing this season reminds me of Jane at fullback.... just without the handling skills.

Remember at other international level, other Test sides (apart from Australia) kick the ball A LOT.
Test Rugby is a very different beast to the Super Rugby.
At international Rugby all your back three have to be superb under the pressure of the high kick and I'd argue that at Test level Will Jordan is best used as a 14.

There's no way those two actually make your real selections, you can't waste two wings on non Cantabs and keep your Cantablacks quota up.

Not great man management
Stevenson aired his frustration, speaking ahead of the Chiefs hosting the Blues in Hamilton on Saturday. He said the communication from the All Blacks, or lack of it, was “disappointing”. “Just the lack of feedback and just not knowing where I sat in the pecking order,” Stevenson said. “Obviously I was pretty injury-prone last year, so I wasn’t expecting much, but I think it’s always nice getting a bit of feedback and knowing what you need to work on,” Stevenson said.Sounds like Razor has been studying up on the John Mitchell coaching handbook

@MN5 he is clearly not in the frame to even be considered, so sits with every other average super player who also don't get constant dialogue with the AB coaches…

Unlike most average SR players, he has at least made an AB squad in the last couple of years

Yeah, fuck that guy. Why do we need a big fast guy who runs great support lines, has a massive boot, is an unpredictable attacker, and most importantly has a linked in combination with our best attacking player. No place for that.
Come back when you're in the conversation for best in the world before we'll even look at you mate.

Or kicking skills.

Jane's fast fend-jab was a thing of beauty. That guy wrested everything out of every ounce of talent he had. Loved watching him play.

@nzzp said in All Blacks 2025:
I often wonder why players don’t use the fend more.
Jane was great at kind of pushing himself away from defenders rather than sitting them down.

Seems a suitable moment to talk about that time I marked him...

Although Jane had a tendency to spray them off the side of the boot trying to kick the leather off it.
