All Blacks label gruelling Northern Tour ‘exactly what we need’

The End of Year tours are fast approaching and after a titanic Rugby Championship, the All Blacks have some questions to answer.

Nine Tests into their 2024 international season, the Kiwis have shown they are a team dealing with a few growing pains under new leadership. 

The lone member of the team’s new coaching group who was with the squad for their World Cup campaign last year is forwards coach Jason Ryan, offering the guru a unique perspective on the team’s current state.

Ahead of a gruelling final five Tests of the year, Ryan reflected on the season to date as well as what’s to come.

“I think the whole year has been (massive) to be honest,” he told the Aotearoa Rugby Pod. “Right from when that calendar came out and you knew we had a couple of Tests against South Africa in South Africa – the world champions, how good? 

“After a World Cup year, there’s two ways you can look at it. You can go ‘well, it’s a lot of Tests’ or you can go ‘this is exactly what we need’ – I believe the calendar is that.

“It finds out where your pressure points are pretty quickly. I think we’ve grown a bit in that space.

“If you look at heading north, in Japan she’s going to be pretty hot so that’s a lot of movement in the game; they play fast.

“And then we head straight to England and it’s a short turnaround for Ireland and then France so that’ll give us different challenges that we’ll need to adapt pretty quickly to and we’ll find out where our game’s at.

“We’re growing all the time, I think we’ve found a lot out about ourselves in that South Africa series and also the finishing part of the games which we’ve put a lot of work into through the Bledisloe.

“So, it is exciting and heading to Europe is awesome as an All Blacks team. The crowds and the atmosphere, it’s pretty special to be a part of so we’re looking forward to it.”

The team had been uncharacteristically poor in closing out games throughout The Rugby Championship, letting leads slip in South Africa before almost doing the same against Australia.

Ryan expanded on what the biggest growth areas have been for the team to grow through that problem and any others.

“I think that’s where we’re just growing our week and how we prepare and what we put in front of the boys and understanding that at the All Black level, at the Test level you actually don’t have to give them a lot. I think we… you come in and you’re a new coaching group and you’re just trying to make your mark on the team and I think as we found out, probably the less we have the better the boys would play. As simple as that sounds.

“I think that’s what we’re growing all the time in our preparation individually as well as in our own units but also as a whole coaching group. 

“When you look at the South Africa series, we were actually really satisfied with how we pushed the Boks. We had a chance to win both Tests but we didn’t and we didn’t sugarcoat that.

“When you look at them, they’ve had what? Seven-odd years together and they know their game, they know their identity. We’d been together seven weeks. So, that’s a reality. 

“But we’ll get there. I believe that we’re trending up and we’ve shown some good glimpses of young All Blacks, I believe it’s eight new caps on the season. It’s exciting.

“You find out all the time around those accuracy in those moments at the end which are so important because the pressure and the game, it just shifts so fast. You’ve never really got a lead, teams can score so quickly so expecting that and trusting our game is something we’re always looking to evolve really.”

Get Ollie Mathis in the ABs XV. Just tell Chay Fihaki to go away and do some ‘work ons’ or whatever and put Ollie in the squad. Chop chop.

DeGroot may not start if he is still in the form he was against the Wallabies.


DMac will start, and he has been alright. BB looked pretty dreadful in comparison against the Aussies.


I think Proctor is more likely to come off the bench and push Ioane out to wing ATM.


Jacobson should never be in the black jersey again, he is fing awful.

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

As a fitness coach, I’ve always taken pride in guiding and inspiring others not just in health, but in life. So when I came across what seemed like a promising crypto investment opportunity, I believed I was making a smart financial move. I even introduced it to a few of my students, thinking it could benefit them too.But everything came crashing down when I realized it was all a scam. I lost $16,000. The weight of that loss was more than financial, it was emotional. I felt ashamed, devastated, and completely powerless. Nights were sleepless, and the guilt of trusting the wrong people haunted me.In the midst of that dark time, I didn’t stop searching for a solution. And that’s when I stumbled upon Hack Savvy Tech . At first, I was skeptical that I had already been burned once. But something about their professionalism and the stories I read gave me hope.And I’m so glad I trusted them.Hack Savvy Tech didn’t just help me, they rescued me. They recovered every dollar I lost, and more than that, they restored my sense of security and peace of mind. Their team was transparent, understanding, and truly dedicated from start to finish.If you’ve been scammed, I know how hard it is. But don’t lose hope. Hack Savvy Tech is the real deal. They gave me a second chance and they can do the same for you.Telegram @hacksavvytechWebsite: https://hacksavvytechrecovery.comWhatsapp : +79998295038​

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

This has been a very distressful week for me, after investing a humongous amount into Coinpro, a trading platform that promised luring returns, their 25% interest on each trading was quite an enticing deal so I opted to invest £207,700 expecting huge and profitable returns, unfortunately for me I realized little too late that it was the worst financial decision blunder that I had made after they started taking me round in circles once I realized I couldn’t access my funds.

I became frustrated and anxious upon coming to accept that I could have possibly lost my life time investment. After days of struggling with my situation I soon realized I urgently needed professional help, so I dove down to research on how to recover lost my funds, it’s when I stumbled on several testimonials about LEE ULIMATE HACKER an APPROVED hacker in all recovery problems, I decided to contact them via Leeultimatehacker@aol.com & wh@tsapp +1 (715) 314 - 9248

ASAP and I was soon welcomed by good customer service from one of their staff, who took me through the recovery process, I had lost all hope but they gave me hope and within a period of 12hours I was met with good news LEE ULTIMATE HACKER and his team were able to trace my funds, this quick turn around was just the good news that i deserved after that traumatic experience I had encountered of not being able to access my funds, but that was all water under the bridge after LEE ULTIMATE HACKER kept their word and within a few hours I was able to access and withdraw all my funds. Contact LEE ULTIMATE HACKER for all your recovery problems.
