All Blacks 2024

[mariner4life]

apparently "innovate systems" is just code for "have a solid experienced core of players"

[SBW1]

Looks like Razor is going all out to get some of these guys back, pretty sure he will be doing the same with Frizell, Mounga, LF and BR.

Razor making it hard for himself in the early stage , NZR will shut these rumours down , Frizzell will most likely return tho

[mariner4life]

Can we rename the thread "All Blacks 2024 - Looking Backwards"

Getting Mounga and BBBR back would be great, not sure about Whitelock.

It's a sad reflection of our depth though. Can't remember a time when we have been this weak.

[Duluth]

I assume Whitelock was the coach and the break dancing guy was the mascot

[Kirwan]

What a fucking joke. Work with the players you have you muppet.

[Canes4life]

We didn't win the last World Cup with these guys onboard, why are we bringing them back even older than they were before. Trust the guys you have playing in New Zealand Razor. What a crock of shit.

[george33]

@Kirwan totally agree , Razor needs to b in NZ watching super , not fucking around trying to return the past

[Kirwan]

Reeks of a lack of confidence in the players available and his ability as a coach to improve players. Cantablacks looking more likely by the day.

[taniwharugby]

I can understand wanting guys like Whitelock in and around the current crop of locks, but given we have Barrett currently who is vastly experienced, he is the one we should be looking to for bringing in the next generation through, Lord in particular is one I hope is fit and selected.

Frizell is a bit of a myth IMO, while Ryan rated him, this was presumably off the back of trainings and 1 very good game.

Assuming this is fact and not distorted.

@Kirwan won't b aloud to happen, he's been told

How do you know he is not watching Super?

[george33]

He ain't watching it LIVE in NZ

Why does he have to watch it live? Serious question. I bet he has access to a hell of a lot more coverage than we do.

I suppose if one is bothered by how things 'look' then yeah it's probably a better 'look' to be seen at matches. But I wonder how much they actually get from watching from the stands.

[African Monkey]

Lol Frizzell returning. The guy played 33 tests over 6 years and did nothing more than a solid job in the last season or so.

Finau will end up twice the player if given an opportunity.

[george33]

@Crazy-Horse Hope Ur not serious?

Because they usually watch individual players and not the TV Coverage. Should be watching it live.

LF left at a young age, still plenty of years left for him to play for the ABs.

[Kirwan]

This is what the thought process looks like "Crusaders aren't playing well in NZ, so better pick overseas Crusaders"
