@Jet said in All Blacks 2024:
I think the next 6 weeks are going to be a reality check for a lot of people. It's not going to be pretty.
I've got the exact same thought except in the opposite direction.
I think we will be much more efficient at actually finishing the many chances we created and will go through unbeaten with a bunch of the young and some of the old players combining for some Beautiful rugby reminiscent of the 2004-15 era.
The doomsdayers will be in the forum proclaiming they were right all along and that only now that Razor is doing what they said are we winning.
When in reality, the gameplan we've been building and refining all year and getting the players accustomed to was always going to take a few tests to iron out, as well as picking specific players while omitting some provincial favourites that don't fit in this new system.
(in saying that, regarding the squad I'd prefer Havili out for Higgins, Reece or Telea out for Narawa, perhaps the thought was they want those players getting game time with the XVs squad.. hopefully)
