All Blacks XV 2025

[Bones]

@pakman it was going so well until the bit where Jacomb supposedly deserves praise for shitting the bed in the first half of game one.

@pakman said in All Blacks XV 2025:

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/the-winners-and-losers-of-the-2025-all-blacks-xv/

"The All Blacks XV won 39 of their 40 scrums and 28 of their 32 lineouts across the three contests. " Impressive, with so-called makeshift locks! And I thought there were more stars in the backline, shows what I know!

But have to say, 3 from 3, is this some kind of GLAM SLAM?

Given the ABs play only 4 home tests next year, I wonder whether they could potentially organise for the ABs XV to play some games during the July International period.

I know this is when the Maori ABs have traditionally played, but I feel like this would be a great chance for the next tier to get some experience ahead of the Boks Tour

@frugby or better yet, a Probable vs Possibles....

Reckon we'd get better value out of this than some of the early season stuff we often play.
