The Silver Fern

Just listened to Scott Hansen's press conference.

The guy sounds like a politician and a total buffoon. Hopefully he's the next one to leave the All Blacks followed by Razor and Ryan.

Rivez Reihana should be in the All Blacks squad imo at some point this year.

Always rated him since he was at St Kentigern's.

Beauden gun player in his prime but no one beats father time and it's a good opportunity to give Love and bring in Jacomb or Reihana into the squad a chance to play at 10. Obviously DMac will start next week but these blokes need to be tested at international level playing 10 at some point.

All Blacks have regressed so badly since 2019. 2021 and 2022 were mediocre years.

2023 despite making the RWC final was masked by the fact we played a Ireland team in the quarter finals who were cooked and past their best.

Razor should be sacked along with his fraudulent yes men assistants.

Winning starts in the front office and hopefully Kirk and co hire the right person this time and not a useless fluffy bunny like Mark Robinson.

All Blacks nowadays are more worried about corporate stuff than actually winning rugby games.

On the performance, Beauden should pull the pin, disaster class with the kicking was totally outplayed by Ford. Scott Barrett should be moved on as captain and hopefully one of Hotham, Pledger or Fakatava step up next year so we don't see Ratima on the bench.

I'd make Codie Taylor the captain with Roigard as the vice captain.

DMac 10 with Ruben Love as the impact sub covering 10 and 15. Lack of depth at 10 across NZ rugby is very concerning. Never seen 10 depth is limited as is it right now and need Reihana to go to a another level next year in Super Rugby along with Jacomb and Millar.

Zarn Sullivan named to play for Pirates in Hawkes Bay club rugby this weekend.

Ireland are definitely heading on the downslide with a aging roster and uncertainty at 10.

On the last weekend's game, Faingaanuku was brilliant and thought he was one of our best along with De Groot and Clarke.

I've got the feeling Scotland might be a tougher challenge than what Ireland was.

Worst NZ Schools side I've ever seen.

@HugeCarrot2 Ruben Love.

Lucas Cashmore played club rugby in Tauranga last weekend.

There won't be a worse bombed try than Harkin's in 2025.

Ruben Love is not a 10. Hopefully Godfrey is back soon.

Very confident Ponga will leave the Knights.
That team is a walking disaster.

Titans are also not very good. Read somewhere the other day that no coach has gone on to head coach at a another NRL side after leaving them.

Roosters another awful side and that win in Round 2 was a fluke. Still not convinced on Penrith's chances of a 5 peat but a much needed win.

Reece Walsh is the most overrated player in the NRL. Meanwhile Halasima is the next big thing, also be typical if he's somehow at the Storm or Panthers in a few years.

Man having Roigard back makes such a difference.

@mariner4life Isaac Moses biggest fluffybunny in the game.

Chiefs are the early 90s Buffalo Bills of Super Rugby.

Bulldogs getting a reality check.

Turbos have already won as many games in 2025 as they did in 2024.

Highlanders will definitely be a better side if they can sign Jacomb for 2026.

Massive underwhelming selections in the forwards. I expect Wilson and the rest of the Wallabies pack to have a blinder against us.

Our selectors are the worst I can recall.

Hopefully Roigard can continue his great form from last week.

Ding dong the wicked witch is dead!

We're getting a Panthers Storm GF again aren't we?

Unless the Raiders can continue their good regular season form come finals time.
