All Blacks 2024

Hey guys, I used to watch rugby in 1995, but I go to all the ABs games! I'm not a moron!
Ardie should be 7! He's so good. He is mainly there to attack the fringes, but not tackle or hit rucks or ... fuck ... I am a moron.
If you post like this then I hate you, you should not be allowed on the internet. Do I make myself clear.

The dumbest people who post here are back in force. They don't watch Super Rugby but they have very strong opinions about the All Blacks.
A big surprise is that Rieko Ioane is still public enemy number one. The morons who make references to centres from 50 years ago, and have learned nothing since then, still make worthless comments about Conrad Smith and the need for ... something completely unrelated to modern rugby and modern defences. Apparently there is some mystical "distributor" who can compensate for shit ball and no options with throwing miracle passes ... instead of the guy who makes more meters. If you are so stupid that you cannot remember the world cup from NOVEMBER 2023, then please stop posting.
There are still really interesting and insightful people who post here. I love this forum, even Papalii knockers post really good stuff sometimes. Please don't post the dumb shit - it's boring. If you are an old fool who doesn't watch much rugby or have the ability to recall games from the last 12 months, then maybe think about why the centre doesn't have good options against Felix Jones' defence.
The Opta stats might resume when it's worth posting them.
Ohh....the irony of you posting this....

Lots of people didn't believe in Nonu for some time,
As I remember it Nonu always had his supporters. Including the AB coaches. But not as a wing where he started out with the Canes.
But some almost hated him. He had a casual attitude that even Hammond (a terrible Canes head coach) couldn't take.

Papali'i knockers (if there is such thing) are far worse, the guy is comfortably the best loose forward in NZ - he is more important than Ardie to this team due to his size and impact on defence.

Is this a @Tim ghost account ?
-
@MN5 How is he not the best loose forward in NZ?
He is our most effective LF on defense and most effective at the ruck, Ardie is only better ball in hand, Dalton is better in the tight and on defense - i thought this was the general consensus, no?
-
Dalton has shit tits confirmed
-
Paps was great last weekend.
Our biggest problem is ball carriers/ line breakers creating scoring opportunities. With time will improve. Early days. -

He was so good in that first test aye, falling off tackles at will.
I give him credit, he played well in the second test but consistency would be great.
Ardie obviously isn’t in form but when he is he’s by far our best despite what Timmy thinks. Go and watch the WC final if you need a reminder of that.
And Finau, well I’ve barely noticed the guy in the first two tests.
Bring back King Blackadder I’d say.
-
Yeah yeah bro we know everyone loves Ardie for his cute little highlights reels, watch the Blues forwards led by Papali'i, Dalton actually wins the collisions outright and dominates the breakdown - his efforts on 'both sides of the ball' are simply unparalleled.
-
@darylmitchell Papali’i plays one okay game and now you’re talking him up as if he’s on McCaw’s level. I think your heads in the clouds a bit there fella. Let’s just see if he can keep that form up for the whole year instead of announcing him as the second coming. We already have Blackadder in the team who holds that mantle.
As for your Blues forwards, Sotutu and Ioane played bloody well on the weekend… oh wait.

Think @MN5 might be doing the AB socials.
