Some interesting comments/insights from Dan Carter on the level of discipline in the AB camp.

‘It’s quite awkward’: Dan Carter on the ‘very different’ 2023 All Blacks

Legendary playmaker Dan Carter has been invited into the All Blacks’ inner sanctum this year as part of a “legacy group” ahead of the upcoming Rugby World Cup.

@Victor-Meldrew Oh sure let's just pretend the highlanders don't exist

Aug 26, 2023

All Blacks wait to learn Scott Barrett's fate at judicial hearing

The uncertainty puts the side in a precarious position less than two weeks out from their Rugby World Cup opener.

So if Barrett gets suspended we're sort of a bit fucked aye?

I thought I heard the commentators say that no further action was being taken ?

Nah, we have got Ardie to step into the breach given his physical attributes to meet the requirements to make an adequate lock, well height wise anyway.

Foster in that article
"He's good, he's realistic… They always feel gutted because they want to give their best and Scott's at the top of the tree when it comes to that.
He's fine, we just go back into process mode now and just try and take the emotion out of it."

Foster doesn't seem to think SB has a tendency to be carded?

Just confirming as that is my reading too but if he doesn't think SB has a weakness re: cards (perhaps his one big major flaw) and going into this tiddlywinks RWC that is a crucial concern ...I am speechless!
