@Victor-Meldrew that would be when they scraped past wooden spooners Wales and Italy, got spanked by Scotland and got one good win against Ireland ((by a couple of points)?
Yeah, It'll be a walkover. Anything less than 50+ points margin and Robertson should resign, eh?
So you concede you were bullshitting? 😉

On tonight's performance alone Fakatava rules himself out of the squad.

@Victor-Meldrew England looking a decent outfit in their last few games, but hopefully the ABs will bring an intensity above what they are used to.
It will be a tough series, but the ABs really should win with the talent they have available.

They beat Ireland, but lost to SA by a point and just lost to France at home in their last 7 games.
I say they are on the up
Will be a good test for us, especially upfront.
I'd say they're about where they've been for the last however many years. They're up and down from game to game, extremely hard to track any improvement.

It’s only the All Blacks, not their bogey team Scotland which is lucky for them

With or without Brady?

Is Collin Millar worth condsidering as a future All Black 10, 27 points was a pretty descent haul and he is in descent form, still only young?
Cam Millar haha. Yup only 20 years old, and every young SR starter is worth keeping an eye on so yeah, why not. Looks a fairly composed 10, plays a more traditional style where he plays a but deeper than other 10s, haven't seen him take the line on a lot yet, but Admittedly, I've only seen him play twice and Highlanders fans would be able to shed more light on him than me.

Cam is a good prospect. Reads the game really well, kicks well, but I am not sure he has the running game to be an ABs ten... certainly wouldn't write him off though, because he does have elements of his game (composure and goal kicking) which would make him well suited to test rugby.

“So, Scott, if you could give us one reason why you should be the next ABs coach, what would it be?”
“Crusaders 2024.”
“Job’s yours mate, well done”
