    Six potential Test debutants for the All Blacks in 2024

    The 2024 season will be the first with new head coach Scott Robertson in charge of the All Blacks and there is bound to be new caps.

    @canefan said in All Blacks 2024 - no interminable Foster arguments:

    The temptation for a new coach is to miss lessons learned (not gonna use the other stupid word)

    Learnings lessened? (Was trying to type lessoned but autocorrect came up with something more apt.

    Strange is one of two locks with the size for test footy. The other being Parkinson. And the other is Sam Darry ...

    @booboo Scott Barrett is 1.97cm tall and goes just fine at test footy. There are more out there than those 3.

    @MN5

    Most young locks lack the size, I’m sure it will come eventually and once they are under the supervision of Nic Gill and being prepared for test rugby and not just NPC/super rugby.

    Not sure it needs explaining... am not commenting on the relative abilities just noting that of the two who have the size the three are ...

    Maybe I missed y'all's subtlety...

    TV1 broadcasts a special segment on "Sunday" about Scott Robertson.

    Typical GOM Fern: it was too much about Scott Robertson.

    One person criticises something about a segment that aired.

    Typical GOM definitely not one of the most ardent Crusaders fans: Typical whole TSF.

    There's certainly a lot of hype and excitement around Robertson.

    On the other hand, it's understandable given his record.

    "At test level it is different. Having been at the World Cup, they are bigger bodies, there are more small moments that have big margins on them,'' Robertson noted.

    "The kicking game is so critical, the defensive game and the discipline. So how can you embed those core things early? You can be open to all information or be really, really clear.

    As long as no one raises interminable Razor arguments - I'm quite happy to actually wait until he selects and plays his first team.

    I'm a fan of reading statements like this:
    "At test level it is different. Having been at the World Cup, they are bigger bodies, there are more small moments that have big margins on them,'' Robertson noted.

    You just bolded all the weaknesses from the last tenure, and the things that stopped us winning the final. Fix that without sacrificing quality game breaking players to do it, and we are well on our way

    So that sounds like bye-bye to

    defensive game: Will Jordan
    discipline: Sam Cane

    He'll just ask them all to refocus. Weren't most of us lamenting our inability to close out games, to exit, our defensive discipline, and the number of YCs we conceded long before and throughout the RWC?

    We'll have to wait and see if the discipline improves. The days of BOK and his ilk refereeing are over, and we've seen that the NH refs are totally different to what NZ/Aust refs focus on in SR.

    discipline: the new proposed captain should be a goner too, the only AB to have two red cards in tests.

    TBF, is our defence that bad, the GREATEST team in the world couldn't score a try against our mostly 14 man team.
