    You often hear coaches saying that they usually just focus on one player when watching live, or one player per half. They look at workrate with and without the ball, decision-making etc.

      @Canes4life said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:

      @MN5 the bike interaction was when I was down there a month ago. Totally separate occurrences. My uncle has a yarn to Razor most mornings at the local cafe down there, or at least when he's around. After meeting Razor, you would never guess he's the AB coach, such a rogue character and is super friendly with most of the frequent locals.

      He was meeting people yesterday (two blokes) my uncle didn't recognise and he was in ear shot when he went to purchase his coffee. Could hear them talking about the Canes and the three guys I mentioned but then obv had to shoot off.

      Not sure why Razor chose that cafe to have a meeting though because it's boutique and you almost have to shout to talk to the person next to you.

      Razor sure is a man of the people. I swear every second FB update I see is him in a selfie with someone I know.

      ( slight exaggeration, but still…..)

      Yeah he’s a great character. Hard to dislike the guy tbh.

        With the size of the coaching staff these days, I wouldn't be surprised if Robertson didn't recognise them either.

          I feel dumber for reading that whole conversation about coaches/selectors attending games or not attending games.

          Anyone who has played or coached knows there are benefits to both attending and/or watching on tv as well as rewatching a game back to focus on certain things/players.

          I think there is a whole bunch of confusion between everyone there😂

            Anyway changing the subject. This inane gossip is doing my head in.

            Any merit starting with Ratima- DMac Jordie-Proctor

                Who are the refs for the series against England? Will red cards be 20 minutes?

                There have been a number of incidents in Super Rugby that would have been red carded by NH refs.

                      Refs aren't announced, will be full time red cards, unless they are under the trial laws

                                      AB coaches going to games is so they can be seen to be doing their job and thus keeping the punters happy. I can't imagine there would be much they could glean from watching games live that they wouldn't get from the technology available to them.

                                      I believe they next day get supplied with a video analysis package.

                                        @Crazy-Horse Selectors often go to a game to watch one player. It's great way to see everything they do and don't do and to get a clear sense of strengths and weaknesses.

                                          Since we have so many selectors, you would think they should be capable of watching all the people they are responsible for selecting.
