How inspiring for those first fives who, you know, actually PLAY in New Zealand !
"You guys just keep the jersey warm til I can sort stuff with Richie, cheers"

“There’s always a degree of contact but that’s good coaches and good people doing their jobs properly. That happens with players that are past their playing careers. That’s the nature of the All Blacks
so, talk to guys overseas not eligible. Don't talk to guys in NZ who are eligible. Good coaching. Gotcha

Robertson's the guy whose girlfriend dumped him and he can't get over it and annoys all his mates by moping and constantly going on about her and how much he misses her.
Meanwhile said mates secretly don't understand what he saw in her in the first place.

All Blacks coach Scott Robertson is keeping the door open for Kalyn Ponga to make a bombshell code switch ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

@SBW1 be realistic for goodness sakes. let's see Ruben Love start a test, have a look at the Chiefs midfield together, see if Caleb Tangitau can step up, is Taumoefolau from Moana aspiring to be an AB? Plenty of talent on these shores but next thing you will be asking for is to see Nicoll-Klokstad at the Crusaders
-
DMac has every right to be hard done by at Razor's man-love for Richie. (and to lesser extent BB)
Our best game this year was against Ireland. when DMac controlled the game well.
And then, for some god-forsaken reason, he selects Mr Shovel it on kick and hope Beauden Barret for the French game.Mounga was given the luxury of 4-5 years at AB level 10 to develop his game.
And for most of that, he couldn't fuckin tackle. -

He has, but he chose not to play for them last year.

It blows me away how BB still gets the starting 10 jersey ahead of DMac (esp. after Ireland). I really want to know the statistics of opposition scores/turnover ball after "BB dinky kicks" in the 2023 Blues/2023-4 AB teams. Either my trumatized brain is playing tricks on me or BB dinkies have led to a hell of a lot of opposition scores or turnover ball in compromised positions.

And to add to this. Didn't Beaver get dropped for just doing a BB dinky kick once! It lost the game but f#$ken once!

Is that Hong Kong? Thought it was a misplaced touch finder.
