We have mentioned that before anyway, no bloody good playing the weaker clubs, the midweek players get no benefit out of it

@cgrant said in All Blacks 2022:
I made the proposal of composite teams because the clubs would be reluctant to add a midweek game to their heavy schedule. If they have to, they would probably field a "B" team.
That is the spectre of the pro game. No one plays for the glory anymore. Even if the players wanted to the owners won't want to risk their valuable assets in a non league game

Dan, the limited value we would get out of them probably means they are not worth doing.
I see value in dirtrackers playing NH sides but the difficulty in agreeing terms with a club, strength of opposition, ABs taking an enlarged squad for these games means it would be hard to justify.
I think at the moment, we have a lot of players who are inexperienced in playing international rugby up north so it may be worth a short term benefit until normal service resumes (which should be now tbh)
Personally think we have enough to worry about with shoehorning enough experience into players like Blackadder, De Groot, Papalii and Tukehui plus others to worry about their tier below them just yet.

Agree, though I not sure if playing against club teams will give them a lot of experience at playing test teams, just gives them experience at playing along side other second string ABs. I wonder if there would not be more value in getting NZ Áá going and them playing USA,Canada etc etc.

USA and Canada would probably lose to a top European side shorn of their internationals.
I see value in NZA touring the nth hemisphere clubs. Let’s face it, rugby in the north is leading the way at the moment so there would be a lot of value in getting that exposure for NZ players who have probably only played against NZ and Aus super rugby sides to date…

Mate I couldn't agree more about the strength of Clubs sides in Europe, hell I watch games every week, I thinking more of the good of international rugby, ie USA, Canada etc.

I see Oli Jäger made the team of the week.
What are the chances of him being called up in July?
And by whom!? Would he choose the ABs over Ireland?

Yeah he has stated his goal is to try and play for The AB’s
He has been in ChCh since 2013
At 26 years old
192 cm
128 Kg he’s big enough -
Paywalled but it looks like the useless fluffybunnies including Mooar and McLeod will retain their positions till 2023.
Liam Napier: Inside NZ Rugby's ABs review - and their strange coaching decision
After their worst record since 2009, the All Black review assumed a dark cloud.

Same old Shit under these clowns then.

it's kinda shit we will never know what went on in the review because i would love to hear the questions and answers.

Unbelievable incompetence, signing these fuckwits up before Northern tour
Strangely, NZ Rugby did not announce it last year but the Herald understands Mooar, Plumtree, Feek and defence coach Scott McLeod all re-signed through to the 2023 World Cup not long after head coach Foster was granted his two-year extension last August.
The assistant coaches have now survived the review, and avoided NZ Rugby having to fork out potential pay-outs..

loooooooooooooooool
deadset how fucking shit have the NZRU become at high performance?
No wonder they were pushing hard for the Silver Lake deal, it'll be worth half as much in 12 months.

@machpants what's the point in having a review? Even that butt covering exercise wastes resources.
