All Blacks 2024

God I wish we still had players of Michael Lynagh’s composure.
“ I’d taken over the captaincy as Nick (Farr-Jones) had gone off injured. I knew I had to come up with something precise and factual. I was determined not to resort to the cliche of, ‘don’t panic, don’t worry’. There were no clocks at the ground so I asked referee Jim Fleming how long there was to go. Four minutes, came the reply. So, that’s what I said to the boys. I stuck to the facts. ‘Four minutes, still time, we’ll kick long from the restart, press, they’ll kick out and we’ll strike from the lineout’.
What was is that Ireland scrum-half Rob Saunders sliced his clearance, Australia had a lineout around the 22-metre line, David Campese took it up and was on hand later in the sequence but was tackled. Lynagh’s role had been to track play. He swooped and dived over the line.“ -
Quite frankly our forwards are becoming terrific.
Our backs are chaos. -

@pakman you still suffering from jetlag? That's hardly phenomenal insight fella! Or have you forgotten Aaron Smith already?
- Yes! 2. Nugget is no longer wearing Black.
We never should have let Frogs come away with win.

From viewing, I find it hard to lay that at the players feet.
