Haven't read the article yet, but Kitson is one of the better rugby writers in the UK. Hope he isn't going down the Mick Cleary click-bait route.

No idea, I only read the headline these days.

It’s s good article and the points are fair.
Biggest problem is writing for the guardian

Cian Tracey: 'The unique aura around the All Blacks remains as strong as ever'
Beware the giddy All Blacks who, despite carrying huge expectations, are primed for a tilt at winning a record third World Cup on the bounce.

The most interesting thing with that article was realising Colin shade is a 2 time World Cup winner 🤔

I once remember Neil Back saying c. 2010 he was better 7 than McCaw as he'd won a RWC while McCaw hadn't...

Weird to think he has two rwc winners medals and people like Umaga and Jonah have none .

McCaw must be twice as good as him now then ?

Actually makes sense....
"New Zealand's possible route to the final (based on results going with current world rankings)"

@jegga More weird that Pauliasi Manu has one
and never capped! Great quiz question
Edit: so potentially eligible for another team? He could be the only person to potentially win two RWC medals for two different countries then? Does eligibility trigger on selection, or on playing?

@nzzp playing I believe

Almost as good a quiz question as the name of the US player who played for the ABs when they were en-route to the UK in 1967.. (or was it '72?)
Don't know the name....

@Victor-Meldrew all blacks.com has no AB's born in North America.
I have also checked the team lists for the matches played in Nth America (British Colombia & Eastern Canada in 67 and BC and New York in 72) and there are no one-off caps or players that weren't established NZ provincial players.
I do recall a (Kiwi born) one off ring in against Western Australia at some stage but can't find him.
I also fondly remember as a young boy a photo in the 72/73 Post Tour Magazine of a group of AB's (Wyllie, Sutherland, Norton...) out at a Bavarian Beer Hall in 72. They were being served by a very buxom wench who was leaning forward over their table. Not one of the AB's was looking at the camera
