The Silver Fern

Legendary All Blacks coach Gilbert Enoka names the best player, captain & person that he's ever worked with... . https://wetalkrugby.com/gilbert-enoka-all-blacks-dan-carter-mccaw-mealamu/

Pat Lam actually touched on a lot of what’s being debated in this thread — not just results, but the system underneath the All Blacks. He was pretty blunt about NZ not being the benchmark anymore and said that’s actually an advantage if NZ Rugby is honest about it and makes the right decisions around development, Super Rugby, and funding.

What I found interesting is that he wasn’t having a go at Razor or the players at all — more the structures, the crowds dropping, and whether NPC/Super Rugby are still doing the job they used to.

I wrote up a piece pulling together his main points if anyone’s interested:
