From a non-New Zealander's perspective, I have to say Scott comes across very respectful, kind, honest and humble, but he also doesn't take any nonsense. You've got a great coach there.
Well yeah that was very rude to be laughing like children when a man's answering a question that you and your production team have just asked. Your not sitting at the local bar. Not very professional at all and razor is all about class and being respectable.
If we didn't have Rassie as coach I would take Razer, he made the crusaders an unstopable machine and pretty sure he will do the same to the All Blacks. Looking forward to the rugby championship
💯% New Coach and all the players know they got a good chance to make the ABs and Impress Scott Robinson, it’s definitely going to be a good competition between the players especially for The Mighty All Blacks👍🏽💪🏽✊🏽
Nice prediction about the 6 Nations Goldie and Kirwan🤓. I see France got off to a flying start. "Allez Bleus!"🤣😉 😎. Good luck Mr Robertson and Staff. God bless New Zealand🤘👍.
Morning.I am a Springbok fan and love the All Blacks on so many levels. I am also not a rugby fundi but rated Damien as a game changing player.I fear when we meet again an Damien is part of the All Blacks.All the best to you by including the guy.
Great to have you back! One of my favorite teams from the world cup was Portugal. Hope you watched the replay highlights of their recent game against Roumania. Maybe their style and panache is just the stimulus that will make sure Big Bill and his mates sink some serious money into the team before the next world cup.
Need to sit down with the top 6 sides in Japan, and look at bringing them into the fold that is super rugby... Would provide tougher challenges then most Australian sides and would also open a large commercial market up to both NZR and ARU
I'd love to see the AB's back at the top of the pile again, fingers crossed it comes to fruition given it's never been harder but we have the right man
As a Bok supporter i cant wait for the clash aginst the ABs, I think Raszor is a brilliant coach and looks like a very laidback guy. Just a shame that Jeff and JK behaved like idiots through the whole interview.
✊ I hear ya. Sir John is bearable but Jeff is like that annoying guy at the local pub very rude and unprofessional in my opinion, especially when they have a very important person on the show. I think razor was thinking wtf am I doing here 😂 after all the very important meetings and talks he has had over the months now he has to put up with these clowns 😂
I totally agree with you. It is time for Goldie & JK to be replaced. As a Kiwi & an AB Fan I would have liked to have heard more from Razor but JF & JK used the show for their own monologues as they have been doing increasingly so. Over inflated egos & ‘big fish in a small pond’ syndrome comes to mind. Telling Razor who he should look out for as if he didn’t already know & quizzical looks on Razor's face when JF & JK were giving out 'old' names who just aren't anywhere to the standard/quality required to be an AB. Asking Razor how he will change the ABs to beat the Boks, France, Ireland etc as if Razor is going to spill the beans on his short term & long term plans. It was more about JF & JK hearing their own voices rather than contributing anything worth listening to or taking notice of.
After 100 years of allblacks evolving while everyone else catches up, its never been harder to do that. Hopefully Razor can make it happen for us 1 more time.
@@RugbyFacts soccer has become more popular in nz over anything else. Thats why other rugby nations have caught up. I guess we got bored of dominating y'all for so long.
@@mattwill2643 No one cares what sport is popular in your country. There's only one rugby nation that caught up and surpassed the puny all blacks. I dont think you got bored, i think y'all just got out smarted and out muscled by SA over the past decade. Your pundits and new coach think the same in this video.
Razor has his plate full, he would probably be handed the most depleted all blacks team handed to any coach in recent times and still be expected to win every game, and rightfully so by AB's supporters. but the thing with razor is that he will find a way. As for Coaches Joe schmit said he won't work with razor but have no idea why australia, imagine him as AB's U20 coach. tony Brown Told razor he would stay loyal to Jamie Joseph but now he is loyal to Rassie Errasmus No other coach in the history of AllBlacks has faced this type of player experence drain from the al blacks and at the same time face new Zealand coaches who have the NZ rugby IP and One in particular who has coached them in the recent RWC. and these coaches have joined opposing teams who AB's have struggles with under foster Pretty tough ask.. but being part of all blacks machinery is always tough even in the best of times .....but we will find out if Razor and co are actually flock of chickens or a pride of lions. its 14 games that will define razor and co in 2024
Im not to phased about the super rugby season, i will be more interested in the 14 internationals later in the year. I think so far razor seems very smart, i am already hearing the right things from him in the limited amount he has said on the show. He thinks and approaches things differently to what we are used to seeing from previous ABs regimes, he appears to have simple and logical processess and nothing to complicated, i am looking forward to see how this develops over the next 12months. Good stuff
With the talent pool currently available I can see a 50/60 % win record this yr.Hope I'm wrong.,but he is going to be putting a very green AB side out this yr.
@@richardscanlan3419 yeah i agree, i get the sense he is the type that will get his players up for a game mentally amd switched on upstairs. He mentioned that he wants to see players bodies use to speed/ tempo, contact and hardened cant remember his exact wording. I think he has a fresh new approach to things so its going to be an interesting year 😊
How is Razor going to combat the European Rules that are stifling the game down under? We have to compete with the NRL, which on average has nearly twice the amount of ball in play? (32 mins vs 55 minutes)
Razor and co did a very good job of reintroducing him into public eye. Gave him a more well rounded look with all the explaining of his coaching cv. I dont agree that Goldie and Sir JK were annoying. I think their passion for the game is what more people should have and Razor is razor smart, looked to me he knows to appreciate the passion. Enjoyed that he gave licence to Kirsty re how tactful and genuinely pleasant she is. I've always backed NZR until recent times with how they treated Fozzie. Going to credit Razor with learning from all that bollocks, hopefully his respectful attitude here will permeate on many levels. Look to the future, hope Akira Ioane gets the right mentor, Scott Barrett gets leadership and regular captain, so he can grow even better through that...and we get Blackadder with no injuries for awhile...and finally, LOVE that Razor talked of both Cam and TJ, for getting both of them covers a hell of a lot of what we need in scrum half - Finlay and esp Folau are intriguing options. If we have to have Dmac at 10, may Cam be his fellow half.
Upmost respect for NZ. You will always have more skills with the way you play the game. But the times you lost to the Boks in finals were about what we have to deal with every day. You have a bad day if someone offends you at work. In South Africa people get killed daily just to rummage through their pockets. I don’t think you understand the desperation in SA. It’s a very harsh country. We fight for that last point because our country has 45% unemployment. You will not understand that as Kiwis.
No we don't understand. Sorry it's so bad there. Don't hold it against us. Beautiful or powerful rugby uplifts all for those precious few moments before reality bites.
I'm very interested in Razor's tenure as All Blacks coach once he starts. As for Super Rugby, Japanese involvement should be a Champions Cup with L1 instead of just bringing back the Sunwolves, and they may not need to reach the US west coast when Kanaloa Hawaii is a way of involving the US market. With the Jags returning in 2026, it would be an opportunity to reconsider Kanaloa Hawaii, especially if the Rebels are axed by that time now that they're playing for their existence in what might be their last season. And yeah Fiji and Japan in the Rugby Championship is a dream still waiting to materialize, especially when the Drua in SR will help the Flying Fijians alot if FRU can sort out the logistics right for their Europe based players.
Damian McKenzie is the directory of the All Black's this year, with references to the likes of Reiko Ioane, Will Jordan... bit more, but the process and its ironing out of the creases is more important. Injury proned Key Decisions micromanagement Consistent upgrades Winning finish List goes on...
When Pundits (& some Kiwis) are calling for ABs to be picked while playing overseas ‘as that is what the Boks do’, they may not have thought it through in it’s entirety. I would expect that the vast majority of the Boks who ply their trade away from SA whilst playing for the Boks are playing Club Footy in France, England or Ireland. The advantage of that is that they are pretty much all in the same Time Zone & (for example) a flight from Heathrow to Capetown is approx. 12 hours so you can catch a flight around/after Breakfast and arrive before bed time & there is no Jet Lag. It’s just like catching a Bus/Train & could be done at a drop of the hat so a Bok called fly out on Mon, train/play in SA on the Tue & fly back on the Wed - simples! You could even catch the evening flight, sleep on the Plane, arrive for Breakfast, train & fly back that night. For an AB to return from the UK is obviously a much longer trip, more logistics, a huge change in time zone & then it takes (say) a week to adjust/recover & then it is the same issues on the Return journey. That would make it almost a 3 week journey. Picking an AB from playing in Oz might be okay but any further & the logistics/availability/issues increase significantly. The Boks took that further. It appears as though many of the Boks had their Top 14 Contracts finish well ahead of the RWC which meant that they could return to SA for a 4-6 month Training Camp so it wasn’t so much that the Boks were playing overseas but already had pre-arranged ‘sabbaticals’ with the SARU so that all parties were happy & Player/RWC availability/condition was paramount. Comps like the Top 14, Gallagher Premiership, URC, Heineken Cup & Champions Cup are also of a very good standard so it is not that much of a step up to Test Rugby whereas the step from Japan League One to playing a test for the ABs is a big change especially for the Forwards who do not need as much bulk or hardness to play in Japan. Picking an AB from a player who is playing overseas is not really a (logistical) starter for me.
Can’t wait for the all blacks season Razor etc super exciting. But let’s be honest super is dead and this panel should have said it we are in trouble super isn’t working
It's on life support not fully dead yet there were some good crowds last year at sum games and at preseason games this year,theres still alot of interest in our game but we'll have to see wat crowds are like this year,provincial is definitely dead tho.
JK should get out the studio and the game. This obsession with changing the game is ridiculous. Gone is the 5 metre scrum, cost Ireland a World Cup semi potentially thx to Jordys leg. Doesn’t like scrumming when the true robbery of the WC final was that Barnes didn’t blow one scrum penalty (under order from world rugby no doubt) and NZ arrived with the dominant scrum 😂 Get this in your head JK … NZ have dominated the game for 100 years. And the last four years with changes and TMOs and what not … NZ have slipped down the rankings. It’s simple … if there’s contact SA will be up there. So other than touch rugby there is no rule that’ll nullify them. Get back to basics … scrum well, focus on set peace and embrace those disciplines as part of the game. JK wants ruck and run ruggers…..15 man league. Front up you softy and let it go. It’s 8 forwards and 7 backs. Each with their roles. League can only dream of the popularity of union. So why change it? It ain’t broke …. Who the hell are you to declare it broke just because your forwards were outmuscled? Sore loser of note. Front up in the traditions of the great all black packs of the past. Richard low, Hayman, Brooke, McCaw, Collins. Forwards who could tame the Boks and did regularly. Here is the test. If a pushover maul try doesn’t give you the same chubby as a full back cutting the line and dotting down under the posts … you’re not a union fan and should watch league. Or your balls have shrunk. It’s part of the game, if you don’t like it ….take a hike
*CHEERS RAZOR!* I'm glad that he doesn't take much heed of the 2 irrelevant so-called pundits (Goldie & JK) - I reckon he will *DEFINITELY* bring some much need "reparation" to All Black rugby! Here's to a bit of competition for the Springboks! (t-i-c)
Competition for the Springboks? Whatcho talkin about Willis? We lost to them in a RWC Final by 1 point with a guy in the bin for 35 minutes and another yellow card. We were plenty competitive. Perhaps if THEIR captain had been redcarded, the result might have been different. All the trash talking about Foster makes me laugh.
This is a huge experiment for NZ rugby. Using a young guy as head coach with no international experience neither at club rugby or at international level. Certainly he is feeling the pressure of it all. Not sure I have ever seen an international coach that is so open. This is going to be very interesting. Certainly he comes across a little naive, but who knows. It is going to be exciting
So Super Rugby Pacific has dwindling fanbase interest? The URC has a huge fanbase following and growing numbers bursting out of it's seams? What could be the cause of this? Oh wait, the SA teams have left Super Rugby and joined URC!
The URC previously the pro 14 already had great crowds prior to the South African teams joining. As a Glasgow warriors season ticket holder we’ve sold out season tickets for nearly 10 years at Scotstoun
@@supplads its easy to sell out a 30 000 capacity stadium. In SA we have almost up to 60-70 000 capacity stadiums and we still fill up 75% of it. To think the top SA teams has been in all 3 URC finals, where has glasgow warriors featured over the past 3 years?
@@RugbyFacts where did I once mention success on the pitch? The original comment was trying to attribute full crowds in the URC to South African teams joining and I merely pointed out that’s not the case as the URC has had full crowds long before the South African teams arrived. Have they improved the quality of the competition? Absolutely. But that wasn’t the point being made.
Time will tell - winning World Cups and test footy is different to Super rugby success …. Ultimately judged on winning games as an All Blacks Coach… big shoes to fill for Razor …
the so-called 55 minutes of action in league - what proportion of that is havng to wait while absolutely nothing happens, i.e. the play the ball when everything stops? That's not action, that's repeated stoppages of play over the entire game.
Sorry but Super rugby only has Top 4 Teams which same as last year being Crusaders,chiefs,Brumbies and Blues.Rules changes needed for sure so lot of dud games like Reds vs Warratahs😮
the two children were to busy trying to pick their all black teams and there own coaching philosophies rather than sit back and listen to Razor. It seemed that what Razor said went right over their heads they were so set in getting their views in instead of taking in Razors talk. Just saying...
foz normalized a mediocrity that tainted the jersey. We now have a coach wh can restore its value, and that is not entirely about winning. I expect a humble winner and a graceful loser (rarely) whose players will give 100% and rarely panic. Also, Marshy and James Parsons are good analysts. They would probably listen to what Razor has to say. great to have the new coach so he can listen and find out what Goldie and Sir John have to say about selection. Part of the downside of media when coaching
I think Razor lost a whole of respect for both guys when they started talking about it being okay for the All Blacks to lose some games. Only recently has that BS attitude crept into the All Blacks and the publics ethos. It is never okay for the All Blacks to lose never. That world cup final loss still cuts deep for me.
Completely wrong Razor. More often in Rugby League, the best team at actually playing RUGBY generally win. Ref calls and red cards very seldom influence the end result. You wouldn't get into the finals in NRL with 3 lucky ref calls.
Do not look at changing the eligibility rules - NZ rugby needs loyalty. That is what it is all about!!!! For a change to happen there must be a review process that must identify GOOD reason and none of these guys have established that because the AB performance results have NOT warranted that fact! Our present system is working! NO JK - why do you want to bring teams from Japan and US into the Super Rugby when you have Tonga and Samoa sitting there - look what playing the Super Rugby has done for Fiji! Matches against these islands are physical and that is what NZ needs to play against - physical sides! We are NOT going to get that against Japan and US! NZ and Australia have the perfect opportunity now to bring these physical island teams into Super Rugby and the Rugby Championship! Yeah sure there will be some result problems to start with BUT the more they play at this level the quicker they will adapt - look at Fiji! These island teams have the potential to inflict some serious results at the world cup IF NZ and Australia include them in the Super Rugby and Rugby Championship - the time is now!!!!
@@Samizouza why you saying he’s no Steve Hansen? Have you seen Razors resume as a coach, as a Springbok, I’m scared. I’m just glad we won the World Cup
No no no no no...this guy will never work for NZ. He is way too kind too respectfull too decent for the callous irrational tunnel-visioned-biased NZ rugby community. The way they laugjed at him (already). Scott will want to build a honest team organically and of course post abrasive- Hansen and Foster NZ will not adjuat to such an honest approach taking quite a long time before getting any wins. Players might not believe in him. AB's will prob lose most of their games in the next 18months
From a non-New Zealander's perspective, I have to say Scott comes across very respectful, kind, honest and humble, but he also doesn't take any nonsense. You've got a great coach there.
I"m inspired by Razors quote around winning, winning in different ways, different situations and different locations.
The look on Robertson’s face when the boys said they didn’t really expect to win every game. Priceless.

Razor "What are you laughing at", never seen a death stare from one of the nicest blokes in rugby.

If we didn't have Rassie as coach I would take Razer, he made the crusaders an unstopable machine and pretty sure he will do the same to the All Blacks. Looking forward to the rugby championship

I think razor answered the question in his first sentence... in the adjudication of the rules. So the onus is on the refs as it always is.
Adapt and survive.
What rules though are different?
A few suggestions - tackle technique, new captain, drop goals, discipline, experienced specialists in key positions, bulk in the midfield.
Need improved defence
Need an improved mental. Fosters ABs team was a shocker at chasing the scoreline. If they were losing, chances are they will lose the whole match.

Applies for all teams equally 😂 and yeah, it does matters who your coach is. Try hiring Eddie Jones for the ABs, see how that goes
Yep, too many laws and TMO influence

"What are you guys laughing at?".... you just got told 😂😂😂
Welcome back JK and Jeff world's finest pundits 🤣🤣. World Cup results surely have now sunk in and taught a lesson or two. From South Africa with love
When Pundits (& some Kiwis) are calling for ABs to be picked while playing overseas ‘as that is what the Boks do’, they may not have thought it through in it’s entirety. I would expect that the vast majority of the Boks who ply their trade away from SA whilst playing for the Boks are playing Club Footy in France, England or Ireland. The advantage of that is that they are pretty much all in the same Time Zone & (for example) a flight from Heathrow to Capetown is approx. 12 hours so you can catch a flight around/after Breakfast and arrive before bed time & there is no Jet Lag. It’s just like catching a Bus/Train & could be done at a drop of the hat so a Bok called fly out on Mon, train/play in SA on the Tue & fly back on the Wed - simples! You could even catch the evening flight, sleep on the Plane, arrive for Breakfast, train & fly back that night. For an AB to return from the UK is obviously a much longer trip, more logistics, a huge change in time zone & then it takes (say) a week to adjust/recover & then it is the same issues on the Return journey. That would make it almost a 3 week journey. Picking an AB from playing in Oz might be okay but any further & the logistics/availability/issues increase significantly.
The Boks took that further. It appears as though many of the Boks had their Top 14 Contracts finish well ahead of the RWC which meant that they could return to SA for a 4-6 month Training Camp so it wasn’t so much that the Boks were playing overseas but already had pre-arranged ‘sabbaticals’ with the SARU so that all parties were happy & Player/RWC availability/condition was paramount. Comps like the Top 14, Gallagher Premiership, URC, Heineken Cup & Champions Cup are also of a very good standard so it is not that much of a step up to Test Rugby whereas the step from Japan League One to playing a test for the ABs is a big change especially for the Forwards who do not need as much bulk or hardness to play in Japan.
Picking an AB from a player who is playing overseas is not really a (logistical) starter for me.
thanks Kids!
Very smart rugby minded man! that was very rude laughing like that when razor was talking.
Can’t wait for the all blacks season Razor etc super exciting. But let’s be honest super is dead and this panel should have said it we are in trouble super isn’t working
It's on life support not fully dead yet there were some good crowds last year at sum games and at preseason games this year,theres still alot of interest in our game but we'll have to see wat crowds are like this year,provincial is definitely dead tho.
JK should get out the studio and the game. This obsession with changing the game is ridiculous. Gone is the 5 metre scrum, cost Ireland a World Cup semi potentially thx to Jordys leg. Doesn’t like scrumming when the true robbery of the WC final was that Barnes didn’t blow one scrum penalty (under order from world rugby no doubt) and NZ arrived with the dominant scrum 😂
Get this in your head JK … NZ have dominated the game for 100 years. And the last four years with changes and TMOs and what not … NZ have slipped down the rankings. It’s simple … if there’s contact SA will be up there.
So other than touch rugby there is no rule that’ll nullify them. Get back to basics … scrum well, focus on set peace and embrace those disciplines as part of the game. JK wants ruck and run ruggers…..15 man league. Front up you softy and let it go. It’s 8 forwards and 7 backs. Each with their roles. League can only dream of the popularity of union. So why change it? It ain’t broke …. Who the hell are you to declare it broke just because your forwards were outmuscled?
Sore loser of note. Front up in the traditions of the great all black packs of the past. Richard low, Hayman, Brooke, McCaw, Collins. Forwards who could tame the Boks and did regularly.
Here is the test. If a pushover maul try doesn’t give you the same chubby as a full back cutting the line and dotting down under the posts … you’re not a union fan and should watch league. Or your balls have shrunk. It’s part of the game, if you don’t like it ….take a hike
Hey JK. Still thinking of the world champs?
New year, new season, new leadership, same pundits discussing the same cut players (sotutu, perofeta, Akira Ioane)
Going to call it now Razor to have the best win loss record of any AB coach surpassing Hanson
Just a thought, but something tells me that Cam Roigard could play at First Five Eitght.
Razor sharp!!
Even Jeff aged didn't know they took it that bad
*CHEERS RAZOR!*
I'm glad that he doesn't take much heed of the 2 irrelevant so-called pundits (Goldie & JK) - I reckon he will *DEFINITELY* bring some much need "reparation" to All Black rugby!
Here's to a bit of competition for the Springboks! (t-i-c)
Competition for the Springboks? Whatcho talkin about Willis? We lost to them in a RWC Final by 1 point with a guy in the bin for 35 minutes and another yellow card. We were plenty competitive. Perhaps if THEIR captain had been redcarded, the result might have been different. All the trash talking about Foster makes me laugh.
Fair comment👍.@@networkn

*KEYWORDS* from your comment above :

*SUMMARY*
NZ lost
SA won
why do they never talk about the hurricanes
This is a huge experiment for NZ rugby. Using a young guy as head coach with no international experience neither at club rugby or at international level. Certainly he is feeling the pressure of it all. Not sure I have ever seen an international coach that is so open. This is going to be very interesting. Certainly he comes across a little naive, but who knows. It is going to be exciting
Jk is excited. Super rugby in trouble without SA
Let’s go Crusaders and hurricanes
Completely and absolutely disagree with Razor....... West Coast FFN Te Kohanga/Ship Wreck Bay is the best place to surf! 🏄🏽🤣
lol completely agree although i"m not a surfer its a good challenge to get him up our way.
@@montywilson9078 great idea. Be good for him i reckon. 😀
NZ won the 2024 World Cup
Wayne Barnes gave it to SA
So Super Rugby Pacific has dwindling fanbase interest?
The URC has a huge fanbase following and growing numbers bursting out of it's seams?
What could be the cause of this?
Oh wait, the SA teams have left Super Rugby and joined URC!
The URC previously the pro 14 already had great crowds prior to the South African teams joining. As a Glasgow warriors season ticket holder we’ve sold out season tickets for nearly 10 years at Scotstoun
@@supplads its easy to sell out a 30 000 capacity stadium. In SA we have almost up to 60-70 000 capacity stadiums and we still fill up 75% of it. To think the top SA teams has been in all 3 URC finals, where has glasgow warriors featured over the past 3 years?
@@RugbyFacts where did I once mention success on the pitch? The original comment was trying to attribute full crowds in the URC to South African teams joining and I merely pointed out that’s not the case as the URC has had full crowds long before the South African teams arrived. Have they improved the quality of the competition? Absolutely. But that wasn’t the point being made.
Time will tell - winning World Cups and test footy is different to Super rugby success …. Ultimately judged on winning games as an All Blacks Coach… big shoes to fill for Razor …
should have been hired in 2019
Razors gonna struggle with he Boks. Mark my words
WELL HOSTED
Remember when Jeff had the bright idea of Ardie starting on the bench 🤡🤦🏽♂️
the so-called 55 minutes of action in league - what proportion of that is havng to wait while absolutely nothing happens, i.e. the play the ball when everything stops? That's not action, that's repeated stoppages of play over the entire game.
I'm pretty sure Razor dislikes Goldie after what he said about him last year....must be awkward for them lol
Crusaders all the way💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥
I swear John is all over Hoskins every year 😂
Sorry but Super rugby only has Top 4 Teams which same as last year being Crusaders,chiefs,Brumbies and Blues.Rules changes needed for sure so lot of dud games like Reds vs Warratahs😮
The hurricanes are up there especially the team they have now they are very physical and fit players, definitely be one to watch this year.
Key strategy - how to avoid yellow cards
Not selecting the best players is dumb and out of touch. Player still have to prove their metal so they may be replaced as we cycle through to 2027.
Razor's hairdo's a Barry Crocker
❤❤❤
You gonna make the all black's a better ALL WHITE SIDE than MITCHELL & DEAN'S
the two children were to busy trying to pick their all black teams and there own coaching philosophies rather than sit back and listen to Razor. It seemed that what Razor said went right over their heads they were so set in getting their views in instead of taking in Razors talk. Just saying...
Jk aged since the rugby world cup he looks about 80
Bledisloe cup heading to Australia 😂 just stirring the pot
Man like they hate each other 😂calm down n be like razor chill
foz normalized a mediocrity that tainted the jersey. We now have a coach wh can restore its value, and that is not entirely about winning. I expect a humble winner and a graceful loser (rarely) whose players will give 100% and rarely panic.
Also, Marshy and James Parsons are good analysts. They would probably listen to what Razor has to say. great to have the new coach so he can listen and find out what Goldie and Sir John have to say about selection. Part of the downside of media when coaching
Red card season about to start again yay can't wait😅
I think Razor lost a whole of respect for both guys when they started talking about it being okay for the All Blacks to lose some games. Only recently has that BS attitude crept into the All Blacks and the publics ethos. It is never okay for the All Blacks to lose never. That world cup final loss still cuts deep for me.
Do something with the mop on your head razor
Goldie picking the Saders to win mate pull your head in 😂 we don’t come here to hear unbiased opinions lmao shoot from the hip and back your team
Goldie: "Kissing the ring".
🤣 No more dancing lads.....
Completely wrong Razor. More often in Rugby League, the best team at actually playing RUGBY generally win. Ref calls and red cards very seldom influence the end result. You wouldn't get into the finals in NRL with 3 lucky ref calls.
Razor obviously does not agree, with overseas based players going to be All Blacks.
Once a player goes overseas, they are irrelevant to NZ rugby. As it dam well should be.
Moutere matakana!
Do not look at changing the eligibility rules - NZ rugby needs loyalty. That is what it is all about!!!! For a change to happen there must be a review process that must identify GOOD reason and none of these guys have established that because the AB performance results have NOT warranted that fact! Our present system is working!
NO JK - why do you want to bring teams from Japan and US into the Super Rugby when you have Tonga and Samoa sitting there - look what playing the Super Rugby has done for Fiji! Matches against these islands are physical and that is what NZ needs to play against - physical sides! We are NOT going to get that against Japan and US!
NZ and Australia have the perfect opportunity now to bring these physical island teams into Super Rugby and the Rugby Championship! Yeah sure there will be some result problems to start with BUT the more they play at this level the quicker they will adapt - look at Fiji! These island teams have the potential to inflict some serious results at the world cup IF NZ and Australia include them in the Super Rugby and Rugby Championship - the time is now!!!!
I’m scared we might be looking at another 10 years of All black’s dominance💔😕
What nonsense!!
I'm scared you might be looking at another 24 years without a RWC💔😕
@@RugbyFacts come on now, I’m no all black fan, but come on, we both know that ain’t gonna happen..😂
Well he's no Steve Hansen, but still anything can happen
@@Samizouza why you saying he’s no Steve Hansen? Have you seen Razors resume as a coach, as a Springbok, I’m scared. I’m just glad we won the World Cup
HURRICANES!
Why does Razor look like Glenn Close? Sorry, as you were!!
No no no no no...this guy will never work for NZ. He is way too kind too respectfull too decent for the callous irrational tunnel-visioned-biased NZ rugby community. The way they laugjed at him (already). Scott will want to build a honest team organically and of course post abrasive- Hansen and Foster NZ will not adjuat to such an honest approach taking quite a long time before getting any wins. Players might not believe in him. AB's will prob lose most of their games in the next 18months
Who cares about the breakdown lol
