All Blacks 2024

I am completely on board with Razor ( as I am with all AB coaches), but have to agree looked very much like that was an Eddie Jones type thing last night. I am here now and it's going to be about me?
I do say probably wasn't what it was about at all, but something that struck me when Mrs said to me doesn't it sound like he is making it all about himself? Just could well of been how it was editted or questions were asked by Sumo.

TV1 broadcasts a special segment on "Sunday" about Scott Robertson.

Typical GOM Fern: it was too much about Scott Robertson.

Razor came off well in the video I thought.

@Stargazer yep mate as I said it was also maybe how questions were answered etc, and to be fair as you say it was program about him, and perhaps I just not overly keen on programs on coaches before they startedjob? Could be good as got us thinking rugby.

The temptation for a new coach is to miss lessons learned (not gonna use the other stupid word) during the previous tenure in the rush to stamp their own mark. If he's taking the time to debrief the senior players that is a good sign to me

@canefan said in All Blacks 2024 - no interminable Foster arguments:

im sure its been done before. i would be more surprised if they didnt

A bit of a fluff piece, but he spoke really well. And really hit on some points - gotta embrace modern sports engagement, you’re a public figure and you will be judged. Also ‘there’s a percentage against your name’. Stuff that has not been talked about previously, but really needs to be (trying not to Foster moan!)

@booboo Scott Barrett is 1.97cm tall and goes just fine at test footy. There are more out there than those 3.

@MN5

Most young locks lack the size, I’m sure it will come eventually and once they are under the supervision of Nic Gill and being prepared for test rugby and not just NPC/super rugby.

There's certainly a lot of hype and excitement around Robertson.

On the other hand, it's understandable given his record.
