Samuel Whitelock is hanging up his boots | The Breakdown, April 7, 2024 

Keep Justin on the show, he has a great rugby brain.

Marshall is twice the rugby pundit that Kirwan or Wilson is.

much better show with Marshall on the panel.

keep Justin Marshall, he is so much better

Can we have Justin Marshall on The Breakdown every week please?

Christie's stats are really average as shown on the show. TJ has done more in 99 minutes than Christie has done in 5 games.

Justin Marshall putting Maro Itoji in the greatest locks of all time ahead of Brodie Retallick is insane

Justin Marshall with so much rugby knowledge a humble neutral and objective guy unlike JK who is megative and whining all the time keep Marshie on the show please

Ratima Fakatava perenara are before Christie .

Cortez Ratima is brilliant young halfback.What I love about him is his support running lines. We need halfback with a good passing game.We need get our back line going. Aaron Smith had bullet pass and he was great at running the support lines. Ratima reminds me of Aaron Smith.We need to blood him at test match level.

This is the first episode I’ve been able to watch from start to finish,great work

Get Marshall on every week. Great rugby brain.

Come on 'CANES!!!!! I'd wager this will be the game of the season if both teams turn up.

Marshy so good!!!

great panel tonight ... keep it coming

Taking a break from Jeff and JK I see? Marshie is underutilised on this show. And he knows we're watching. Jokes aside, the guy is well-liked in SA.

Whitelock. Legend just wish em all the best for what ever he does.

You have to drink every time Mils says "in terms of" 😂

Bruh can we get marshy as a permanent on the breakdown? And Nacewa also, that would legit be an awesome panel. Kirsty, Mils, Marshy and Isa. Make it happen Sky.

There is no greatest lock of all time. Time does not stand still. There are exceptional stand-out locks; and players with the so-called 'X' factor. Sam Whitelock falls into that class, within which he joins with other exceptionally talented 'X' factor locks. His longevity was 'X' factor, that is a given. He will remain a legend; that is a given. His absence will be felt; but only until the next 'X' factor lock evolves. God bless you Samuel Whitelock: All Black number 1104. Meur ras for all the great pleasures (and countless agonies) watching your performances has given me🏴‍☠☘.

Surely Brodie has to be the best lock as the only lock to have won the world player of the year

I watch you guys for my weekly analysis of our game and the future of our All Blacks. And Stan to watch the full coverage of each Super Rugby game. Aupiki will gain its own momentum and create its own inter-rivalry.

Why, oh why, does there have to be a best lock? The named ones are all magnificent players in their own right. And what of Brad Thorn?

I see the usual response from New Zealanders concerning Women’s Rugby. Big finals weekend coming up and almost no comments. Personally I’m looking forward to these matches , should be fun. Also, why are so many Super 15’s games played in front of empty stands?? Where are the fans?

Justin Marshall have a great personality and he know's he's rugby and gives credit to any player, team or country.

I feel that TJP is the best bet in regards to the tests against the big teams and get Fakatava/Finlay as the reserve.

Marshall as streets ahead of JK and Goldie

Marshall should always be on the panel in lieu of JK & Goldie. Very refreshing and down to earth comments.

the ref caused Roigaurds injury, look again he was in his way and tackler got him

On a similar vein with regards to the Pathway, the NH do an U18 Six Nations, is there an equivalent for NZ? There has to be caution though to ensure a late developer is not overlooked/bypassed, that those chosen to play for higher honours keep 'grounded' & realistic & not let their ego override their development/achievements (to date).

We need MORE Justin Marshall!

New Zealands No 1 halfback is out for 6 Months, get well Cam-p.s,this panel is better to watch and listen to...just saying 😂

When Marshie speaks straight, sensible and forthright, he makes SUCH good, challenging sense Hell, your Show MUST make more use of him… And Razor WILL take note, that’s a dead given…⁉️not so❓ 🪖

Hhahaha Itoje. Itoje was another pommy rugby player touted to be the greatest thing ever. He never amounted to anything other than average.

Marshall was asked who are the Best locks - not to give a "balanced" answer that would make other countries happy and that sort of sums up what happens when you try to please rather than be accurate

The top voted players from the whole competition playing against each other would be pretty epic. A one off game similar to the NBA All Star game.

Apparently 4 Christchurch lower grade clubs can't get a full muster of recruits. Thinks aren't looking good for the once great game.

True Rugby people know that both the locks are always the best player's in any team..... True story...💪💪👌👌🤔🤔😲😲😊😊

If not already, the ABs should be having a series of camps for the various positions (i.e. get all of the 9's from Super Rugby (wider groups), U20s, maybe even NPCs & Schoolboys into a 2-3 day camp so that the AB coaches can share their thoughts of what they want/require, can see each one close up, understand their personality etc. And have similar camps for Locks, Loosies, Wings etc. Some kids/players are late developers so that needs to be understood & catered for as well to identify/help the likes of those now playing for other countries get a fair crack of the whip (time, money & effort) permitting. Having said that, no one wants 'n' identical clones of one another so the diversity & different strengths need to be encouraged but they would all need to do their core roles & have a required mental & physical skillset/attributes & as Jono Gibbs said, they need to be a Team Player. i.e. If you have a chance of scoring (but could get tackled) but there is someone else in a better/safer position to score then pass the ball - no excuses.

could agree with that in a flash…‼️😳🥂

Hurricanes Vs FijianDrua SemiFinal 2024!

Fitzy was a seagull Dane Coles another

What’s the point of having an episode of this when the 2 NZ teams won by a combined point difference on 100 pts. What’s there to talk about 🤣🤣🤣 Well done on beating on mediocre competition 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Roigard was the guy to play an make the team better for abs. Like christie but give tg some time n see. Fukutava think is great fast strong have space he hasent had behind ab fowards. Like tg if he keeps fit. Thanx

Tana was also the reason the ALL BLACKS Haka changed, If you've watched the TV series "All or Nothing" the ALL BLACKS and the story of why Graham Henry changed the Haka, because of Tana Umaga and the attitude of the ALL BLACKS toward the Haka at that time, you'll know why we ended up with Kapa O Pango.

Mils top locks is my pick

TJ is a massive fighting presence you Guyz underrate his influence But you HAVE to groom the younger Manne as well Its self evident…not so⁉️ 🪖

MMMM Fitsy would have learned from Uli Smidt.

Marshy is a diddle

The biggest concern for the All Blacks is blindside.The French,the South Africans and Irish have absolute tall monsters. All their players are over 6ft 6 in’s tall.Ireland got guy who 6ft 9ins.All these guys are great in the line outs. These guys are big,tall and mobile. We can’t afford have three short loose forwards in the All Blacks.Shannon Frizell is very hard to replace. Blackadder is not the answer.He is too injury prone and he hasn’t really dominated at test level. Blackadder is not tall enough for international blindside.

Game changer,get rid of Kirwan couldn't coach, doesn't match Marshall for mana and rugby brains. I always fast forward when Kirwan talks

I have Ratalik as my Number 1

Born and bred rugby person but man, NRL is a better product. I didnt even watch a SR game this weekend but watched 5 NRL games. Unless its the ABs playing I'm not that interested

Bring back SA teams

World rugby has killed 7s by making the last tournament a play off competition points basically no longer matter I have no interest in watching 7s if all the competitions leading up to London don’t matter because the season champion will crowned off one competition at the end of the season

🪖

Yer like rugby pod talk bout the rugby well. Think jk just na. Hope sky sport hear this stuff. N not just go on when viewers not into the jk goldie show?

Take Marshy JK and Goldie off the show replace them with Uggy

Don't ever have Justin on the show again ill have u take off air.

Make more use of Marshie He’s great…‼️ 🪖
