All Blacks & All Blacks XV EOYT 2024

[Strewthcobber]

I only watched the first half, and I honestly couldn't believe France won when I saw the score.

JBar has had scans on the knee he injured v France & according to Tamati Ellison they don't look promising wrt selection v Italy. Final decision will be made Friday euro time by the sound of it.

Can't believe they're putting out more soppy talk about fArEwElL mAtCh for Cane and Perenara. Isn't this why we had to put up with Perenara's absolute shitter of an effort in Wellington? It's done. Move on. There's nothing to be gained from another test of Perenara's arm flapping and Cane's up right tackling/card fishing.

^ 100% agree wrt TJP but I thought we really missed Cane's close to the ruck D: was great to see ASav & Sititi causing havoc out by the tramlines but we gifted France some cheap metres in the 2-5m either side of the ruck & that possibly cost us the game.

Perfect opportunity to play Lam at 12

Which they won't do

Holland at lock would be good to see as well. Seems more likely than Lam anywhere, but idk how much more likely.

Could even noodle Barrett over to blindside...

EDIT: Or onto the bench with Tuipulotu.

 

[KiwiM]

Republican Razor his typical conservative self

No room for Lam, Love, Holland, Perofeta etc

The likes of Havili, ALB, Rieko, Newell make the team though.....

Why is Robertson so hell bent on being sentimental instead of actually developing players that will be available next year?

Fuck me so the 3 wise Cantab cronies are going to finish the tour having decided the backup guys are not ready for this level. And all the tenured incumbents are either off after this game or on their last legs.

Zero development for next season........... and the trusted old guard lost 4 tests this year anyway.

 

[zer0]

It's especially odd given how he lol nope'd retiring 202-capped Crusader Wyatt Crockett out of the 2018 Super Rugby final in Christchurch.

This was the reason why I believed we'd have some 2004 level turnover, at least on the EOYT.

EDIT: And Crockett was dropped in favour of Tim Perry, of all people.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

"What the f*** Razor, you'll finish the tour with no f****** idea if your latest Cantab teachers pet George Bell can even play or not, you only got lucky with Wally cos your last teachers pet Slackbladder of course fell to fucken bits after 5 minutes, you've ground Slowtrain Cane to dust with no idea who the next 7 is, stuck with Flapa f***** Nara even though the pricks pass is so shitty he was stuck behind Tawera Kerr-Barlow as well as fucken AfterDavid for very good reason, no idea if AJ Lam can play 12 cos you want to gift more tests to your useless fucking mate "DAVE", no idea if Perofuture or Plummer can play 1st 5 cos you're sticking with Kickbot Cotton Woolly Beaudy C***face between his f***** sabbaticals, no idea if Proctor can even play cos he can't get a look past AL fucking B, Jordie and titty hands Rieko and no idea if Ruben Love or Stephen Perofeta are really up to it cos you persist with your wifebeating Crusader arsehole pal Sevu Reece, a winger who probably couldn't even beat your precious Cantab doofus George Bell in a fucking footrace you f****** cu

I don't get the love for ALB.....

There is not one Test I can remember him playing in except when he yellow-carded for committing 2 yellow-card offences in the same passage of play!
