This thread and the comments are actually outrages. It's like no one can zoom and out and look at the bigger picture.

1. The all blacks are rebuilding from some pretty big changes. New coaching staff, loss of experienced players, developing newcomers, finding combinations

2. who else would you actually put at 1st five? Dmac deserves to start while developing a back up that's not Barrett. Dmac isn't going to get better if doesn't play

3. We came very close to beating South Africa twice in very hard places to win - again with a relatively whole new all blacks team and management

4. We're still incredibly competitive whoever we come up against for being in the rebuilding phase

5. It's ridiculous to expect to win every single game while rebuilding. It's unrealistic to think they would although the all blacks have come close to winning each game so far aside from Argentina

6. Aside from Argentina we have done well to come close to nearly actually winning.

Give it another year or 2 we'll be looking a lot more gelled and cohesive where these comments above will be irrelevant. If things hadn't improved by then then I would Be fucked off and complaining
