    @kiwimurph Wherever that munter is from, I am staying away from. After the first sentence, I had to stop it.

    At first I wondered why someone from Mt Druitt had anything to say about the matter.

    only if this Mt Druitt is near Christchurch, clearly a razor fan lol

    @bayimports Do you think a great Bay bloke like Razor would want her as a fan??? Is this a put-up from overseas?

      of course not, just sounds like she smokes a few packs a day in between a few snack packs... doesnt sound distinctly Australian, just distinctively bogan 🙂

        Of all the things I've seen discussed, I think the ABs should be focused on their defensive system, ball retention and territorial kicking game. They win world cups. Focus on keeping teams at the right end of the pitch and squeezing them into mistakes. NZ have shown that they are still capable of capitalising on transitions. The talent is there.

        Too many teams are scoring 25+ points against NZ these days. Below 20 and NZ are still looking ok.

        Yes we mostly look very passive and reactive..

            Well she let Ian Foster have 20 whacks.
            Hmm, not sure the ABs need an effin coach. Also looked like those weren't her real legs, no doubt she'd be an excellent choice as AB fitness and conditioning consultant.

                Has the verbal attributes of an effective halfback, but yes at TH prop, apart from the question of whether she's a team player, I suspect she'd be dominant with ball in hand and in the bind, not likely to take a backward step, and above all, no one is likely to lay a hand on her (and probably haven't for some decades).

                  all the makings of a great TH,I wonder about her agility for HB,And her ability to release the ball quickly enough as she may be wanting to hold the ball for too long,Hindering our backline.

                          They have set a low benchmark for their awards with that nomination.

                          But losing 3 from 4 tests against your harder opponents is off set by beating Fiji and Tonga apparently.
                          As All Black fans we have so much to look forward to over the next 2 years.

                          Can we play Hong Kong and the Cook Islands next year to keep our win ratio up.

                            Yes. All those teams are nominated

                            “All teams in black that took the field in 2021 will be running for New Zealand Team of the Year, and their respective coaches nominated for ASB New Zealand Coach of the Year”

                            So it will be the same as 2020.

                            The NZ team of the year nominations in 2020 were the AB's, Black Ferns, Both NZ 7's sides & NZ Maori. It will be same this year
                            All of the coaches were up for the NZ coach of the year too. The qualification is coaching a NZ national side

                            This is a non story with a provocative headline.

                              Can't recall which thread passing and other basics you'd expect ABs to have before getting there, but short chat between Peter Breen (rugby bricks) and Wayne Smith where they discussed learning to pass in AB camp.

                                Hey Bones,

                                I have been thinking this for a while tbh.

                                Mainly because NZ is not leading the way is going and we have been slow to react to trends in the game and are behind the curve on these as it is mainly being driven out of Europe.

                                One of the reasons is the brain drain where our leading most experienced coaches are not in NZ.

                                NZ rugby is insular and inward looking and has been that way for decades.

                                An example of this is Nz Fans are accused of being arrogant and ignorant because they don’t watch rugby from the NOrthern hemisphere and it’s because it was substandard compared to the rugby on offer in NZ. That’s not the case now though.

                                I believe we would now benefit greatly if we had some outside experience to give us some pretty hard truths.

                                  Hey Bones,

                                  I have been thinking this for a while tbh.

                                  Mainly because NZ is not leading the way is going and we have been slow to react to trends in the game and are behind the curve on these as it is mainly being driven out of Europe.

                                  One of the reasons is the brain drain where our leading most experienced coaches are not in NZ.

                                  NZ rugby is insular and inward looking and has been that way for decades.

                                  An example of this is Nz Fans are accused of being arrogant and ignorant because they don’t watch rugby from the NOrthern hemisphere and it’s because it was substandard compared to the rugby on offer in NZ. That’s not the case now though.

                                  I believe we would now benefit greatly if we had some outside experience to give us some pretty hard truths.

                                  It's an easy thing to say, but how about some names? Jamie Joseph I think could be handy.....who else?

                                    And NZ has consistently been top of the pile for decades. But the coaching setup in the last, pretty successful, decade or so has had plenty of outside experience with Hansen and Henry, so a valid point.

                                    I believe we would now benefit greatly if we had some outside experience to give us some pretty hard truths.

                                    I guess that rules out Scott Robinson as AB coach then....

                                    .
