The Silver Fern

@Dodge said in England v All Blacks:

BB looks a bit lost at the moment

He's the highest paid All Black and the 5th most test-capped player of all time. He should be the last to look lost.

Ratima was poor when he came on.

Not sure what's happened with him as he used to give quick ball and get it out without thinking. Now he pisses around and slows the tempo.

10 missed tackles when you only have to make 52 is shit.

Still a bit unsure why we persist with Lord. Lord failed his HIA in the weekend and Darry just returned…

Have these blokes even trained all week? Judging by the socials it's all been promo bullshit.

Hanging with the Chicago Bulls, hanging with the Chicago Bears, doing content with Barstool and other influencers... Complete clown show.

Fakatava hard done by. Would have liked to see his commitment to playing in NZ be rewarded.

Good final and great to see the stands full.

Would've loved to see Zach Gallagher stick around in NZ. Bit annoying he's signed to the Toyota Verblitz by Steve Hansen & Fozzie, who are helping drain NZ talent.

Somebody mentioned Ah Kuoi training with the All Blacks…

Rieko Ioane posted a photo today from training with Ah Kuoi in the background.

@taniwharugby No, we have a good side. Not an over-achievement by any means.

Caleb Clarke said post-match that the squad put rugby aside for the week to "re-gather as a group after a long break"

Give me a break. This group is a circus.

Ceri Evans definitely needs to be up for review lol

Leicester needs to be starting every game in the midfield through to 2027.

The opposition spam the blitz D with huge success against us since Fozzie took over. Think it's because we moved to more playmakers in the midfield instead of proper ball-carriers. It's much harder to use blitz D when you have a tank charging at you instead of a lanky Jordie B, ALB, Rieko, Proctor coming at you.

Big ball-carrying backs with skill are part of NZs DNA... and we've moved from it to our own detriment. It'll straighten our attack, hesitate the defensive line, give our forwards extra time to clean, and take a ton of pressure off the playmakers.

Wasting time with Rieko again... And at 13, where the shit coaches made it clear wasn't his future...

With ENS only extending in NZ by one year... he needs to be bought into the ABs as soon as he can

Believe the Rugby Championship Twitter account has leaked the team an hour early

Rassie and his staff are playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers.

The shit directionless gameplan is making all our guys look worse than they are.

Both Scott Barrett & Scott Hanson need to be dropped once the plane lands back in NZ.

Letting this dogshit Welsh side score 4 tries is embarrassing. They wouldn't even beat the Highlanders.

@hikastags said in All Blacks 2025:

Leicester should be straight back in the squad. He killed it in France at centre and is better than all of our current wings.

He was pants against Lions.

I'm not going to base him much off a shit invitational side who got on the piss 2/3 times during the week of.

Plus he had the unfortunate task of playing outside David Havili that day.

Holland MOTM... WTF???
