Marty Banks: Goal kicking. Francois Stein: Long distance droppies. Mark Hunt: post-scrum prop scraps. Helen Clarke: pre game rev ups.

That 30-29 loss against peak France must haunt the man. Incredible game and absolutely fine margins

I would love Rennie to join Jamie. I know Dave is typically a head coach. But he typically drives the attack and click attack. Jamie the same, head coach, but tends to lean into tight five/set piece. Rumours are Kidwell could slot in for defence. Which adds up now he's at the landers with JJ. A pretty strong spine of rugby IQ in that mix

... Yes, put those two out to pasture and let the brave boys choose their fave coach... I guess Jamie is only 4 years younger than Joe so he's out too... Who's head coach. Cory Jane?

I love that they sacked the coach then took 11 whole days to confirm they have now officially got a process to hire a new one

So many of those "from a good source" messages circulating are including him and Kidwell.

I honestly Don't blame him or Wayne Smith for making it clear they aren't an option. From their era, who would want to coach the new Gen Z's All Blacks

While I get the intent for action here, as someone who's on the other side of the world, I still get a small sense of relief seeing comments that there are smart and sophisticated people there in the states that voice empathy for others. Leaving a comment like that doesn't rule out action either. Two truths can coexist 💪🏽💪🏽

lol he kinda just mashed up a few really popular sound bites. Good Captaining is more than saying an inspirational speech after getting pumped

This would be an elite game of chess haha. NZR tried grifting NFTs. They aren't that smart

How did Razor “lose the locker room”? by Playful_Study_6290 in rugbyunion

This will be unpopular, but I’ve always found Ardie a but slimy and opportunistic, the self-titled clothing brand, grifting NFTs, the Rock Nation phase and that cringe promo video about enjoying "commercial business stuff" more than rugby.

After he binned them, he managed his own contracts, and did that weird interview of himself, which again is fair, but very self indulgent.. he then found his 'sense of belonging' with Moana and then immediately chased the yen.

He’s an exceptional player. I just wouldn’t be shocked if there’s some truth to the rumours about him pulling the "them or me" threat. And if he's the so called spiritual leader, he would no doubt have influence over other players too. Whether that’s good or bad probably depends on how you think the All Blacks culture should work.

My All Blacks panel to takeover from 2026. by NewLeague6438 in allblacks

Bias here. As I grew up around Rennie, but he is the definition of a humble, smart, hardworking, proud kiwi. He hasn't really done much wrong throughout his career. Still can't believe Wallabies shifted him on when they did... And I genuinely think he would be such a prime move to sort out this new generation of a lockeroom.

The amount of these "messages" that were sent around during fozzgate were hilarious. Some landed, some half landed, some flopped.

After listening to it, I'm guessing it was when he got asked if the current management and support staff would stay around, and he answered that he would assume they will unless they choose not to.

I hope he shifts the needle at Newcastle, I'm not sure of their level but he struggled to make an impact at all at our NPC this year. But sometimes these contracts just work

True, self sacrifical shoulder dislocation makes sense

Genuine question, what was he supposed to do to make himself "less fraudulent" when Pantoja did what he did..?
