We really do have some world class players just need to build the rest of the 23 around them In particular a world class 9 and 10 eventually - Bell is a beast of a prop, plays like a backrower, and if tupou can get fitness back he won’t loose a scrum and will be a weapon - faesler starting to...

What is rugby coming too Slight accidental head clash where he only just clipped him and cops a red Should have only been yellow Thoughts - Kerevi looked good in his first hit out let alone test match for how long? Draws multiple defenders and gets over the gain line with ease - can we just...

Sititi is now the dominant backrower in the NZ side With savea will be a cracking backrow for a while Seems the ABs just lacking that killer instinct like they have in the past to put teams away England held in there with their only try off an intercept and 5 penalaties

interesting game again razor will be concerned about the lack of impact and cohesion of the bench falling away again Thought aumua and pat t were strong up front and Sititi was a beast! He will be with savea in the starting pack for a while! Lakai another similar mould to savea and sititi...

Opeti Helu 2016 Aus schoolboys - 6”2 and 127kg debut for Japan v all blacks this weekend

Tough call on the player situation While I’ll agree there are many players who struggle to kick on locally or don’t seem to get better until the head overseas I think it’s more the lack of opportunities locally that stop players of being able to show their talent! 5 now 4 super rugby squads...

Can’t really work out the exclusion for Toole for potter and pietch Other then he has been in the squad the whole rugby champs there must be something Schmidt is still concerned about his game going into the test arena - but not sure what! or still wants him to work on!

Not bad squads considering there is 13 on the unavailable list was hoping to see daugunu, Leota, porecki and wright back in one of the squads but not ready yet Must be a shame for wright gees he misses a lot of matches Like the inclusion of Skelton in the pack to add more beef and also Kerevi...

As an nrl and roosters supporter I was very underwhelmed by him as a player! Was a horrible centre until the last maybe 6 - 8 weeks of the competition before he showed anything! His attack or lack and of defence reads were very poor until the last couple of months of the year! He scored 5 tries...

Can’t believe sotutu didn’t get picked in the top 6 loosies in nz easily being the best 8 in super rugby robertson has so many hybrid 6/7/8 players and many who break down a lot he has no real point of difference other then hard working backrowers 6 Sititi 7 savea 8 sotutu would work well...

Let the world pay their salaries if we have too And let them come back and play if their the best in their position SA do this and bring them home, the all blacks with start looking at it soon It’s the way rugby Is now, there is no attraction to play super rugby, bigger all money where the...

Nailed it People quickly forgot who our few sprinkles of world class players are No one was good in 2023 under jones and Kerevi just came off an acl injury Even not at his best he would still easily be out best 12

If you were an opposition who would you rather play? Certainly rather come up against a midget Paisami or Stewart rather than an 108kg ball playing line bending Kerevi! Kerevi provides the 10 cover he can just load to the 12 like Quade did with Kerevi providing the 10 confidence - get you over...

Semi radradra has killed it in Europe Korobete at his best one of the best wingers around Sbw did a role in a great ABs team Folau was exceptional and the wallabies missed him dearly

I don’t think the team is going forward with razor at all As it’s been mentioned they need retalick, frizell, mounga and smith back Sitili looks like a gem in the making Again another fast start to fall away in the 2nd half Caleb Clarke has sown up the left wing 2 disallowed tries, 3...

Odd game Defence optional, and poor handling errors and schoolboy errors from both sides Razor needs to get his bench firing as they again fell away A game NZ should have won by 40 but 2 no tries, Mackenzie screwing up another 3 more and 1 held up kept the Aussies in it nz are no where near...

Has there been any advertising or marketing promotions for it? Unlike nrl and afl that are over everywhere rugby is the forgotten sport Need to spend $ on marketing on this to keep interest - or no one knows it on There will be enough kiwis in the crown similar to the Brisbane game with the...

ABs reserve front rowers have 290kg behind them combined Not sure their scrimmaging prowess but this may be a concern for our lack of back up

The 12 battle is as inspiring as the 9 and 10 one There is nothing Would you say much better? I’m still yet to see a game I have though Paisami was decent

Mcreight is a big in Let’s hope Bell and tupou get big minutes and limit slipper and AAA field time Paisami inclusion doesn’t add anything other then no gain line momentum or backline shifts ABs most vulnerable they have been for a while Still working out their side Surprised tuipulotu not...
