All Blacks 2025

@canefan See my comments above about the poor quality of e club rugby. The European competitions are much stronger and do better job of developing players for Test Rugby.

I have no problem with Leicester being in consideration once he is eligible for the ABs

However - I would have an issue with him leap frogging consistent domestic performers in the midfield who don't get an opportunity at test level.

@Nepia It's December and there is not much Rugby to talk about, but I find Leicester F and Jordie Barrett each giving man of the match performances in two high-profile European Cup games heartening.

@antipodean Nope. I don't surf and I don't hate Hoskins Sotutu (or Akira Ioane).

I just want to see the All Blacks leave no stone unturned in reclaiming the Number 1 spot and winning back the Webb Ellis trophy.

Quite the contrary

I think we're leaving that stone unturned, while turning over pebbles like Blackadder and if we bring back Frizell turning over whatever is worse than a pebble.

I'm with @KiwiMurph in that I'm happy for LF to come back when he's eilgible.
