Glad to see you're back, Breakdown. "Chons da Mordir Nowydh dhe '23". This is the year that rugby gets to know who's 'The Boss' for the following four years to come, so here's wishing you all 'down under' in NZ a fair wind at yer back and clear horizons. 'My' Ireland ( Mum's line are all from Eire), await your presence up here with a pleasure and respect befitting All Blacks status. But all that aside, God bless New Zealand and keep after those who need help due to the cyclone that has ravaged your land 👍.
Accept Ireland have cover for Sexton now when he went off on 50 minutes Ross Byrne kept France locked in their own 22 steadied the ship kicked his goals most people forgot Sexton was off the pitch. And Scotland are in a group with Ireland and South Africa.
@@LeMerch Dream on fella. NZ are missing playing the big boys from SA more than most of you think. France will devour you in the Pool stages and you will have Ireland to beat in the Q's. Good luck with that!
@@peakey8874SA are alwaya inconsistent but in a world cup they're normally peaking. 3x World Cups, current world champs and plenty of semi finals suggest they will be humming again.
I don't really care who the next All Black coach will be. Why are we even discussing next years coach. Leave that discussion after the World Cup. They should be focusing on winning the World Cup.
Totally correct. AS A S.AFRICAN, PEOPLE IN N.ZEALAND SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING AND STAND BEHIND THE COACH. HE'S THERE UNTIL AFTER THE WORLD CUP! Get over it!! (Rassie ERASMUS for President!!!)
Lots of talk around the coach situation, but I’d be more worried about the player base. The lack of coherence on the field of the ABs suggests the national team now no longer transcends the domestic Super Rugby competition in the minds of the players and the public. The northern hemisphere teams suffered from that for years, but they seem to have gotten past it. Clubs have the advantage of creating very insulated legacies. They are seldom tested outside their bubble at the next level up. We’ve been drinking the Kool Aid about them for too long.
Unfortunately for you bro, the rest of us real Kiwis have been sipping on Raro and Thriftee! Keep your Kool Aid fascination for American metaphors on the sidelines 😂🍹
The lack of cohesion in the ABs has only been a problem because the current coach have been indecisive with selections. However through a few injuries, changes with coaches and some luck, our team is looking alot better and should be peaking this year just in time for RWC.
Good question. Player contracts negotiation for the AB's. Maybe not taking 370 million Silverlake deal. Instead we get 200 million. You asking for more money to stay but you negotiate a less. There is probably more to it, but the question needs to be asked from both the Players Association and NZRU.
Imo because of all the returning injured midfielders we have he’s been push way further down imo it goes David havili, Jordie Barrett, ALB, Jack goodhue and then RTS and unfortunately David and Jordie can both play fullback and we have enough cover in the wings
There’s one person that wasn’t talked about in hurricanes one young player that shined in NPC Riley Higgins that kid is a beast in the midfield I’m looking forward to jordies all blacks rest just so I can get a chance to see Higgins start him and Peter lakai should have been picked in the ABs XV last year even tho it was their debut season and they hadn’t played super rugby
My comment is about the ABS coach. Why cant he just #@$en leave. Why the hell he hang around. We not gonna win the world cup, fullstop. I told you thousand times, we.... not... gonna... win.. the...... world.. cup!!!
@@6Undisputed6 You know what's funny? Every time the AB's do the Haka now there is almost an embarrassed look on their faces. It only kinda works when you are No.1.
If the ten richest New Zealanders commited 10 million each.... then others may follow ...the rich peoples, will get their money back ..in due time ..anyway ?
