All Blacks 2024

This team is just absolutely fucked mentally.
It's not so much this player, or that player but as a team they crumble under pressure and are unable to maintain consistency throughout the game.
They play like they don't want to lose, rather than that they want to win, there's some odd saying like "the dirve to win must overcome the fear of loosing" and this team is abjectily petrified of loosing to the point they freeze totally in the last 20 minutes NO MATTER WHO THEY PLAY.
The AB's used to be about excellence, about trying to play the perfect game and chasing perfection in each moment of the game.
This bunch of clowns is chasing their own shadows.

it's astonishing the difference between this mental toughness and that of the Crusaders, particularly under Robertson. Their whole hallmark was mental toughness and playing championship minutes. We are not seeing that with this AB side at all.
Maybe this is Clive without Martin; Razor without Sam?

@Chris is Chay Finaki joining ABs ? That's the noise
Well played sir you're right again. You cop a lot of flak on here, but at least you share what you hear.
Gee I wonder why Fihaki got called up......

Rumour is Chay Fihaki is called in
Good. The squad was missing a Crusader or two.

@antipodean as the results say.

What does Fihaki's call up mean for someone like Stevenson?
That you have to make an effort on both sides of the ball?
