All Blacks 2024

The Allblacks used to be too afraid to lose.
They would play stink but will themselves over the line.
With 20 minutes to go these lads are looking at each other thinking "its happening again".
The media, players and fan base are getting accustomed to dropping 4 games a year now.
Apathy and ambivalence is enveloping the Allblacks entity.
Even on forums such as this......nobody seems angry any more.

I think for their next edition NZ Rugby news needs to have a photo of Scott Robertson with the word ‘Guilty’ written underneath.

Razor got a horse we can spit at?

If Ireland, England and France beat us, which is likely on current form, and or god forbid Australia, would you want/do you think Razor would be sacked?

Id tell the canes to start playing Love at 10 next season.
No. Beauden is nearly finished and Jordan's best long term position could be wing.
He deserves his chance at 15.@Frank said in All Blacks 2024:

We had a gem in Nonu. Not tall but solid AF and had wheels. CC is built similar. I know he's our 11 right now but could he be an option with JB and AJLam in the future?
I still think Tele'a is a right wing.
We are so damn close. We bossed them again on attack for 50 mins.
WJ is not going to have a blinder every test but he had zero impact at all. WT looked good.
Again just some baffling calls by the refs but AGAIN, we have to acknowledge that the pictures we are painting aren't in the refs favour and we need to take them out of the game.
I refuse to believe we are worse than the Wallabies and Argies right now.

@BerniesCorner
I mean in terms of playing ability. -
What head coaches are available? We’ve still got 3 years to salvage a chance at getting out of our group….

Let's not panic yet. We lost a whole lot of leadership after RWC23 and it will take some time to rebuild. The coaching group haven't been perfect, hopefully they will learn from missteps quickly, especially in terms of selection
-
Yeah we are not going to lose the Bledisloe ,short memories the Aussies got pumped by SA at home 33-7 and 30-12 with 2 different teams the Saffers fielded then Aussies had 60 points put on them by the Argies.
We lost 2 close games v SA in SA and could have won both ,a few panic merchants on here .
we have blooded a lot of players and are nearly 4 years away from a WC and some people are saying we won't get out of our pool at the WC.
Calm done take a pill and sort your shit out. -

@Duluth said in All Blacks 2024:
Also the Argentina loss. 3 losses in 4 matches is well below expectations
I agree it is but some of the BS on these threads is over the top.
SA are the best side in the World ATM.
We have to admit that and build a new team for the WC .
The loss to Argentina was more shit than the 2 loses to SA in SA. -

How does it compare to what you wrote in the previous 2-3 seasons? I think the criticism has been mild

To be Fair I probably did blast Foster but this is one hell of a year for your first year as coach EOYT that is daunting 2 tests v SA in SA.
But I am not happy by the results either or totally convinced on the coaching group atm.
Maybe I am just sick of the negative shit now.Mine included.things happen out here in the real world like terminal illness we all have to deal with maybe I just want to be positive from now on. -

@LatsToTheMax
I have often thought Clarke could go well in midfield - size and good feet.
Maybe worth an experiment in super rugby to see what hands and vision are like@kidcalder said in Springboks vs All Blacks 2:

He's only just starting to play rest rugby well at wing! You could see Nonu had something early on, I don't see that with Clarke. If he can be a very good winger I'll be satisfied
