All Blacks 2024.. locked

@reprobate and what's the alternative? Scott Barrett who has brain explosions on a regular...
I've been impressed with Ardie's captaincy this year, I actually think he's matured a lot compared to when he started captaining the side a couple years ago (when he was prone to make silly decisions).
-
ClubRugby.co.nz understands that T Ellison who recently departed the Wellington Lions as their head coach, is taking up a role with the incoming All Blacks coaching team, following another stint with the Crusaders.
-
Another reason Ardie Savea should be captain moving forward:
-
Can anyone honestly see Cane making it next year ? He’s been a very good All Black. Played an absolute blinder against Ireland but ( harshly or not ) shat the bed in the massive moment that counted.
I think he’s done and will get jettisoned Gary Whetton style.
@Tim you’re not allowed to comment on this. Thanks mate.
-
@MN5 he's going to struggle to make the team I suspect.
An absolute warrior, but limited. Game of his career in the QF, adn looked good in teh final until the card. Love him, but I think he unbalances the trio (like Ardie, who's arguably more unique by some margin)
-
@Canes4life No, that's a reason that he's a good bloke - but has zero to do with whether he's a good captain.
-
-
@Stag that we dont have, and despite his limitations, Ioane is still developing (not ideal I know) but I think persevering and building a backline around him and Jordie is important.
-
Sam Cane has been off the pace for a while now with one exception, the Ireland game. I have never seen an AB No. 7 so ineffective as during some games in the 2022 season. And part of the ABs loose trio problems in the Foster era was playing multiple 7s at the same time.
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack green is exactly what we need. A clean start and 4 years to work with…
-
-
@taniwharugby completely disagree, need to rip of the bandaid now and get a genuinely international class centre in place for 2027

that would be good defensively, no?
-
@game_film Cane is signed until 2025. I've no idea if he has a sabbatical option though.
I guess we'll see next year how many of the forwards were Ryan picks.
-
Seems to me Ardie will want to stay at 8 and his opinion will have sway
Cane still has a chance but less of a chance under Robertson, but he might want time away from NZ, rest the body and the mind. Still in contention for AB level, and there aren't many contenders (did someone say Harmon? Boshier? I think I prefer the older one).
6: I'll be surprised if Robertson does not choose a Crusader.
