    Saturday, 6 August: Springboks v New Zealand

    ABs worked hard. Boks were just awesome. precise error free mostly and patient. gamon ABs lets get the next one!!

    this pack is small and light. they'll need to offload heaps and avoid rucks. not sure they have what it takes to endure the Boks defense whilst still staying mobile. gonna be epic

    oh yeah and ardie getting isolated isnt ardies problem. I tell my halfback son to run it when he has the advantage and he said "but my team mates wont keep up". I replied "thats up to them to understand how you play and they have to learn to keep up". ardie cannot afford to not take the gap...

    well if your gonna stay for the long haul its gonna be really painful. we've come through a golden era. we have to accept that we cant be as good as we were for a long time while we rebuild. Foster has a massive mountain to climb. I wish him and the ABs all the best. even if they lose i'm still...

    thats such BS. ABs dont like losing. they always give a ****. Ardies been the hardest and most effective worker for the ABs. if your gonna denigrate someone then not the best player we've had this season Maybe you should support someone else? We dont need fair weather fans who wanna jump ship...

    Saturday, 6 August: Springboks v New Zealand

    i dont rate christie. he's not ready yet. is missing finesse in his game. not a taavao fan. good around the park but struggles in the scrum vs those that know how to scrummage, and saffa's know how to scrum. i like taukeiaho starting. means he can set the foundation with his all day hard...

    if ABs win and fight hard then Foster still owns the changingSheds. if they lose, especially playing crap then Fosters lost the sheds and needs to go. Good luck Foster. all the best

    All Blacks 2021-2023 Thread

    if Foster loses this weekend then he's lost the changingSheds. If ABs win and work hard for it then Foster still has the changingSheds and should stay on. else it was nice knowing you Foster...and good luck

    All Blacks 2021-2023 Thread

    im glad plumtrees gone. when he was last in the canes he wanted to bring johnMitchell into coach the Lions with the vision of promoting him to the hurricanes eventually. everyone at NZRFU voted against bringing Mitchell back

    All Blacks 2021-2023 Thread

    all these losses will serve NZ imho. going into this WC as not the favourites is good for ABs. too often we've been favourites and we've been soundly trounced. this time we'll be going in with nothing to lose, flying under the radar. let France and Ireland shoulder all the expectations of worldRugby

    thats harsh. this game wasnt the coaches fault. it sits squarely on the shoulders of the players who got themselves carded

    should grabbed cullenGrace instead of Patty. I like tuipolotu but he needs time to acclimatize after being in Japan for so long

    Ireland Summer Tour NZ 2022

    referees are sacrosanct. no ref game. a bad ref is part of the game and you have to overcome that. thats when ref management comes into it

    Super Rugby Pacific (2022)

    hmph. ABs don't need to ne #1 all the time. this has worked against us in past WCs. not being the best for this WC is going to work in favour of the ABs I reckon https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/128665301/all-blacks-have-rarely-appeared-so-unconvincing

    Super Rugby Pacific (2022)

    imo sevuReece and georgeBridge are gone. my back three would be jordan calebClarke, and jordie at the back. with rayasi and Fainga'anuku as reserve options, tho rayasi is the better reserve option because of his versatility and his huge skill set. rayasi plays wing but has a kick and pass and an...
