I'm honestly at a loss who to play at 10. Mo'unga, DMac and Beauden are all much of muchness. I'm starting to learn towards giving DMac a crack just to see if he can be a bit more consistent than the other two.
People forget that McKenzie is younger than Barrett & Mo'unga too, he's got a lot to offer at 10 in my opinion. It's clearly his best position.
That's pretty surprising, yeah! Wouldn't have picked that.

NZ and Australia have played each other 8 times since the world cup, 4 of those at Eden Park, with Australia winning 1 out of the 8.
If you were to exclude these match ups both teams would be sitting at around 50%.

Let's just ignore that stats that don't suit our narrative.

Cool. Let's include RWC2019. NZ didn't win every game in their pool, only Japan (beating Scotland and Ireland) and Wales did. Let's add those games to the narrative!

No. Sorry. I've read this post multiple times and it's still not making sense. Please explain?

Is there a draw I don't remember because last time I checked we won all of our pool games

The Italy game didn't happen because of the Typhoon so was technically a 0-0 draw.

Italy not top 10

Amazing. Nobody has won more matches against top 10 nations than us. Next we will told that AB's are scoring more points than anyone else and that Fozzie has more records, leading AB's to their quickest and largest rises in World Rugby Rankings.
Wonder how the stats might read if we exclude matches reffed by Georgians? -

No it wasn't, the score in the RWC pool points used that, technically the game was cancelled, administratively that score was used instead of the game result

So we are going to downgrade our record because of a technicality and acts of nature now? Every game we played in 2019 pool play we won, including the one against the eventual champions. Good enough for me

@Bones said in All Blacks 2022:
@Windows97 as I recall it, BB buggered off on his sabbatical and then went to play musical chairs at the blues. Nothing to do with goal kicking.
Do the stats really show RM is better than DM at goal kicking?
Well prior to his sabbatical he was the starting first 5 and incumbent goalkicker for the All Blacks, not to mention world player of the year.
Now he's no longer the starting first 5 and goalkicker.
Its not a matter of selecting him or not, but the above is a noticeable (and for me a sad) decline from "then" to "now".

@nostrildamus said in All Blacks 2022:
@booboo just saying the criteria make Japan look far worse than if RWC included. I am interested in the strength of the home factor
Ok. Almost makes some sense now.

Their hardly going to change the kicker just because he comes back. Kicking is typically about consistency, might as well use the guy who's able to achieve that.

Almost? My point is simple, the cutoff seems arbitrary.
Why count games from the last RWC but not the last RWC?
And if we include the last RWC (as I think we should as it is the most important way to gauge the international teams, arguably) the story would be really different from the below and show Japan does not deserve to be 10 out of 10.
Edit even if 10th the game % would show they are not hopeless
