Sensational performance from Ardie. And let's not forget his captaincy and leadership.
Be interesting to see if Robertson sees him as his 7.
He's the form openside running around NZ. Razor would have to be brain damaged not to play him there on this form.
The reason before was he'd played almost exclusively at 8. Get that, but that's changed.

What an insanely good 5 minutes of play from MP

@frugby Fakatava probably just misses out. But the other three must be there.
Roigard hasn't been stand-out this year and has been a bit meh at times. Hopefully he'll click in before the Tests
Not too worried. We seem to have reasonable options at 9.

That was a beautifully worked move from the Canes. Starting to open up the Landers.
Beauty was in it's simplicity
....or maybe not..
Can Tosi play 12?
JRK seems to have all the time in the world

Brutal is strong enough to describe it
Brutal via surreal.....
This was my favorite: - "Have you ever thought of doing a group one in a tour bus full of celebrities?"
Thanks. I think it might have come out on BR a few years back - this looks to have additional stuff.
Kennedy-Martin written, Hard to go wrong. Cracking theme by Clapton as well.

Why the fuck is this super yacht incident such big news (at least in the UK)? I don't get it.
Mike Lynch - tech billionaire - owned it and he and his family died in it.
Became a bit of a poster-boy after being acquitted in US courts for allegedly defrauding HP when they bought his company
Thanks. I still think it's utterly bizarre how much airtime and detail and "specialists" it's getting on telly.
Call it the Kardashian Effect

Andrew Norfolk. Investigative reporter who, amongst other exposés, uncovered child sex grooming gangs and its organised cover-up in the UK.
Died 6 months after retiring. Antithesis of the sensationalist, gotcha media personalities we seem to now have. Def. one of the good guys.
Starmer pays tribute to Andrew Norfolk, who exposed child sexual abuse scandal
Investigation by reporter, who has died aged 60, led to findings that 1,400 children were abused over 16-year period
@taniwharugby said in All Blacks 2025:
@Victor-Meldrew to be fair, Christie was playing well for a period, his best rugby was super rugby the season after he made the ABs, but regressed since.then.
Yeah, I agree. He def. deserved his slot in that period as he was the next best to Nugget. Loyal servant and all that, but we're in a better position now at 9.
@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks 2025:
In what world is Christie looking good?
The world when every other 9 was either injured or playing like shit.
That world existed for a few months a couple of years ago and has, thankfully, vanished,
@kidcalder said in All Blacks 2025:
I don't see 9 as the weakness I thought it would be after Smith departed.
Yeah. Things looking much better.
I'd have Ratima as first pick right now. Roigard seems to be on a bit of a dip right now. And go for Hotham or Funaki over Christie.
