<p>plus only the Lions next year too, so that would take it 25 after this years EOYT, I reckon we should be aiming for the RWC 2019 final, which would be what 50 tests undefeated, and then NZ could retire from rugby all together!</p>

<p>I like the idea of this, go out on top. I can then put all this time devoted to being a rugby fan into something more constructive resulting in me finally making my millions, then many years from now as an old man I can wow my grandchildren of the story about how the great All Blacks finally won rugby forever.</p> -

<p>I would also be wary of the Pumas at home in BA. Near the end of the championship, after playing the Boks.</p>

<p>I'm really not worried about that. SA will always be tough in SA but they are a shadow of what they were in my opinion</p> -
<p>Argentina in BA then SA in Durban.</p>

<p>I don't think either away test will be easy, although playing in Durban is an easier task than at altitude in a short week.</p> -

<p>Remember there is only a 5 hour time difference. Not nearly as brutal as the old NZ SA legs that people had to do. Fair play to the TRC committee - they have managed to get the travel factor out of the comp by having 3x2 week blocks with two rest weeks. </p> -
I've looked into the crystal ball and I can't see us losing until the second test vs Wallabies in 2019. Of course it's after we've sealed the Bledisloe for the 17th straight year and we are resting Beauden and Jordie Barrett, and Bender before the World Cup..... 😎

and by losing you mean it's a moral victory to Australia because they got within 19 points and really fronted up right?

Christ, I was hoping a new thread meant a new start and less beating off over a guy who hasn't even played Super Rugby ( tongue in cheek or not )
Based on this logic of "sons being better than their Super 12 playing Dads" Todd Blackadders son should be approximately twice as good as Richie McCaw.

Some Aussie rugby fans do love a good moral victory. But hey I'm a NZ cricket supporter and I've been claiming those since Hadlee was steaming in....

You heard it first.
He's the next.... Beauden.
He will bring Super rugby glory back to the Crusaders.
No doubt. Sure thing

Finally got to see a little of Jordie in one of the Canterbury games, christ he is tall, my brother reckons 6ft 5inches. Not sure if there is any reliable stats but he certainly looks close to his lock brother Scott. I know it's way too early to say but it would be fun for the ABs in a couple years if he does progress as people hope that we could possibly get to a point of having a spare Barrett in the team. Could be quite demoralising for the opposition. 60 minutes in, time for a fresh Barrett!
