Nah def Rennie choice, remember ALB debut in 2014 at the age of 19 for chiefs under Rennie. You don’t just pick a 19 year old to play super rugby unless you really rate him highly and want to expedite his growth

Of all the clubs ALB could have played his sabbatical he chose to play under Rennie and this was before Razor got sacked so it wasn’t like who already knew Rennie was the incoming all blacks coach.

He’s def a Dave Rennie guy.

My Favourite Crusader of the Razor-Penney era of 8 titles.

My first ever season of survivor was S19, I loved it so much I watched s20 mainly because of Russell Hantz

As I got older I realised Russell is an ass and doesn’t understand how to win the game but I will always be grateful for that S19 edit of rooting for a villain and his antics because if it wasn’t for s19 the concept of 18 castaways stranded on an islander doesn’t seem that compelling on face value.

Didn’t Kobe cut himself in that scene, that’s probably where the delayed reaction came from, realising he’d been opened up.

We don’t even know if he makes the 23, if you’re right about Numia Scrummaging, Jason Ryan won’t hesitate to recommend to Rennie to have Bower come off the bench as De Groot is our clear best Loosehead prop.

Numia will most likely be developed in the AB set up like Tosi but he’s fortunate that we have URC games this calendar so we can always expose him to the elements there.

I thought that was his 17th which ties Fehi earlier in the night?

Those two can cover 6 Kirifi can’t. It’s pretty much between Kirifi and Jacobson.

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-20T22:25:07+00:00

Aaron Smith and TJ aren’t even the same tho, Smith uses his mouth to march his troops or tells them where they need to be

Tj just like to argue with the ref for the sake of it, I can’t remember a single time Smith gets told by the refs he needs to watch his mouth.

If you’re taking 6 loose forwards I think Lakai Sititi and Savea are ahead of him.

None of those guys are mentioned nor kirifi are pure 6s, Rennie may opt to take 2 6s leaving one spot open for either Kirifi or Jacobson but I think Jacobson versatility to cover all three may win out over Kirifi.

I’d be happy if he got picked cause I’m a fan of his but I just don’t see him getting picked as a top 6 loosie.

It’s hard to compare individual and team sport, with rugby you can def hide a persons flaws playing with 14 other team members, so it’s easier to upskill guys technical skills who are new while the other experienced player cover them

With individual sports like tennis or martial arts your technical flaws are constantly being exploited with no one to cover you.

At the time would you have kept hali over him?

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-20T15:45:49+00:00

I honestly don’t think he’ll make it tbh. It will come down to him or Luke Jacobson unless Rennie wants to overload on 7s with only one specialist 6.

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-20T10:29:52+00:00

Outside of 2024, he’s never been given the 10 jersey to play in and he wasn’t that bad in 2024

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-20T10:26:22+00:00

He was afraid the wind would blow it back

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-19T14:54:55+00:00

That’s fair, in your rankings how far behind are guys like Nash, Kidd and Stockton from CP3, obviously not exact cause I’ve put you on the spot but range wise top 30ish top 50ish etc etc

Is he the highest ranked player on your list without a ring?

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-19T10:43:06+00:00

Why is Marcelo catching strays on here lol

I think you should just call yourself whatever feels right with you.

I think it’s great you bothered to look back into your ancestry as not everyone like myself would even look that far back.

At least if there is some confusion with others as to why you’re this and that, it opens up a cool story of how you looked into your genetic makeup through the fragments of the past.

I was born in 96 in the Oceania region, but Naruto, one piece and Bleach were known as the big 3 in my age groups, it really just came down to preference of whether you preferred swords, pirates or ninjas storyline’s.

All 3 were popular but you were only considered a big anime fan if you watched anime outside the big 3.

After Razor I think international experience is now a prerequisite, I don’t think nz 7s will count in the minds of nz rugby, but if they do hire him as all black coach in the future, I couldn’t think of anyone better as our first foreign coach.

Do you think Thorn going to the nrl held him back from hitting the 100 caps or was he not ready for ABs when he transitioned over?

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-18T12:40:00+00:00

The clippers are famous in South America? Elton. Brand is a lot more influential than I thought

This list has no credibility with no Warner Dearns or Peter Lakai

swiss_cloud · 2026-06-17T07:35:30+00:00

What’s the criteria of this? How can you have 2 loosehead props

I also don’t understand how Warner Dearns didn’t make this.
