Razor must be a bit slow

I think he'll raise it again in the next 6 months

With or without stellar play from DMac

DMac is so much better than Barrett at 10 right now it's not funny. How Beaudy is the AB starting 10 I have no idea.

There is an accepted narrative out there that beaudy is experienced and calm, and dmac is erratic ,

once people form opinions it takes a lot of convincing to change their minds

Regardless of who is the better 10, its laughable that they are both playing 15 for their clubs at this juncture.

Razor should be having a word with their respective teams.

If Razor wants to unsuccessfully select a player out of position, that shouldn't have any bearing on SR coaches.

Well neither of them will be usurping IRB Fullback of the year William Thomas Jordan.

So they better get to sharpening their out half tools post haste if they want to play for the Allblacks.

To be fair, it's only week one of the season and both players had limited pre-seasons.

Suspect McKenzie, at the ver leasy, will largely be playing at 10 for the Chiefs. Barrett is a better 15 so makes sense for him to stay there when you've got Plummer as a 10 option (and then to not be played for the All Blacks...).

Did you see that try Jordan set up with the help of other maligned All Blacks like Havili and Reece ? Pure class.

Lelia Masaga would've scored it himself.

@Frank said in All Blacks 2025:

@Dan54
Totally agree. Let's scrap the forum and blindly follow the talking points of ex-players.
I mean....what's the point of even having opinions?

Why do that, it against what my post about, I saying it good to have boreds so we can have opinions. Well it is for me, as I love talking and seeing opinions no matter how much we agree or disagree. Anyone with a modicum of sense would see I pointing out how sunjective it all is. And even here how perhaps if somene has difference of opinion doesn't make him right or wrong etc.

McMillan said DMac is their ten. He would've been on the bench but for injuries. So he'll be ten most of the year, beaudy won't. Beaver had pointed out that beaudy looks like a fifteen playing ten, and he should know. And I hate to agree with Marshall but his point that wanting every player to be able to play multiple positions is detrimental to the player in many positions eg front row, nine, and ten

I actually think Marshall’s analysis isn’t so bad when he is away from the commentary role .

@Victor-Meldrew said in All Blacks 2025:

And one of the things we need to look for this year is how well Robertson and co. develop options at 10 to back him up. Needs to look for newer talent and not harp on about RM or see BB as anything other than a short-term option.

fair comment.

@mariner4life said in All Blacks 2025:

the same places think A Savea was basically the best player in black last year. I am convinced most people don't even watch games, they just watch a few highlights and parrot talking points of 2-5 years ago.

Probably includes the commentators and so called expert pundits...

DMac showed his class on the weekend. I expect him continue to demonstrate he is best in show at 10 in NZ right now. It is up to Razor to put him in the best position to succeed in black now, that is all on him. I want to see him change the formation and the gameplan to bring the best out of 10, 12, 13
