Why Rassie will be happier than Rennie with early omens of Greatest Rivalry tour

A stop-start, set-piece-based game like the Stormers tour opener will not suit the All Blacks if the pattern extends into the Test series.

I definitely do! I got the feeling Rassie was holding back quite a bit. We'll obviously know in a weeks time if that is all hot air or not😂

They'll still test your guys under the high ball often, but when the counterattack is on….they'll pull the trigger!

They like their power wingers (brawn but no brains) who can catch a ball and attempt to run over people but have no idea how to catch a high ball. He is not an indispensable loss. I fear clever wingers more than power winger. Reece was a clever winger, Carter is a clever winger.

Do you think they’ll counterattack more Lou?

I think their match against England was going to give the best insights into how they would play against us. But they saw Murley, Waboso and Smith named and decided they’d bomb them all day.

That’s a shame for him because he seemed to be in good form… but I didn’t see Caleb Clarke as a real game-changer for the All Blacks. Other options are available, and this will probably give Fehi Fineanganofo more opportunities. He’s someone I really want to see against the Boks!

Wishing CC a speedy recovery!

Two starting debuts and two timely returns for All Blacks against Bulls

@PB yesh pretty much what JW said. The that the «first team» could have thosectwo proper testicular July and then two more outings before the first test where the boks would have had fewer games and fewer hard test matches. The Argentina test was exactly what they needed.

I don’t know I just thought the tour matches could have helped build momentum. But I’m now thinking the 1.5 week rest for most of the 1st test players will probably be beneficial in the long run.

Dave Rennie: The All Blacks No.10 jersey won't change hands just yet

Dave Rennie not only mentions that Richie Mo’unga’s return to NZ was Razors idea but that he'd discussed the decision with Ruben, Beauden, DMac and Josh before calling him into the squad… team/man management attributes that motivates and earns you respect…

Go the AB’s…now thats settled…staunch motivation needed to dust up the Bulls…

not even that imo, Rennie is starting to do some smarter things I wouldn’t like to think he’d go backwards like that if something happened in the first few tests.

Has Caleb gone down too, or you meant Proctor/Billy?

Yeah Rennie said a few off things, the kind of comments that put Razor offside with the players, I wonder who he was talking to to use that langauge.

I prefer him to set an example of like “he needs to play well enough and earn the jersey”, not “where giving him a free ride because I think my job security depends on him”!

Shifting sands in the game - Kennedy Tsimba’s ‘shift theory’: Part one

Nick, since some of the South Africans are complaining about being compared to a (very good) all blacks side. You could use the Fijians as an example of thriving in chaos?

The way they play one touch rugby where you are forced to keep the ball alive at all costs until you see an opportunity. I once visited a friend from school there and one evening the whole village was playing! It’s is very interesting and effects the way they play and embrace absolute chaos

It was a shame Richie wasn’t available for the GRT, it’s good to hear he was looking to resign longer in order to make him self available. It’s a very difficult scenario for him, he’s been out so long he won’t know where things are at is it’s sorts suicide to lock yourself into a long term contract.

If he had of originally signed till the Lions it certainly would have made things “easy”, but removing the current eligibility block certainly wouldn’t do that. It would only make future situations much harder.

Shifting sands in the game - Kennedy Tsimba’s ‘shift theory’: Part one

I may be biased but ……I think Australia is best suited to this fast moving style because we have such outstanding athletic talent, that hasn’t known whether it is arfa or marfa for years and years, due to truly hopeless coaching. Which is why we are languishing at 8.

We’ve been playing styles woefully ill suited to us.

Shifting sands in the game - Kennedy Tsimba’s ‘shift theory’: Part one

It was your article about how the ABs ended a rugby championship with the least tackle breaks, least line breaks and worst of all. But it was the 1, only one!! counter attacking try that convinced me something wasn’t right under Razor.

To take our biggest strength and essentially remove it entirely from our game was nuts.

Good call. We have 4X first fives with Love, Dmac, now Richie, and young fulla Josh Jacomb.

Beaudy pretty much just sux now so can go be an outside back/trainer until retirement. Beaudan is just there if we lose Love and Dmac before the third test, at which point Jacomb should be considered ahead of him by then.

Shifting sands in the game - Kennedy Tsimba’s ‘shift theory’: Part one

Mark Twain put it this way:

“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations.”

Shifting sands in the game - Kennedy Tsimba’s ‘shift theory’: Part one

​“The Boks have been marrying SA’s physical foundation with elite transition attack for a while now, so Kennedy's work feels like the natural next evolution in the process, overlaying high-speed transition intelligence right on top of our power.”

Wellington was the exemplar of this right - but have we seen it again since? Perhaps next week? But then there is the risk of what happened last year against Aussie. As chaos leads to catastrophic melt down. And here’s the thing - this AB side is 200% better than the Frankenstein unit that played in Wellington last year. Will Rassie risk playing chaos against chaos? I doubt that very much. Instead we have recently seen the Bok pack get even bigger in all positions (perhaps save for de Villiers). Where does the transition / evolution fit into such a behemoth?
