1 because it will be harder to keep you place, so you end up dropping from 1.5 down to 1 anyway, as you lose AB top ups

2 the rugby landscape (without a 365) can’t handle (pay) that influx of players anyway

Richie basically said he just didn’t back himself to be that good. If he was the number 1 10 through till the Lions he would have signed up for that etc, not he’s just playing a wait and see.

The coaching conundrum part three: Time is running out for Australia and New Zealand

Such a shame about “the other place”,Mz.It used to be such a great site with contributors like Nic,Harry,Brett,Geoff and commenters like yourself!It has just steadily gone downhill,but we need something other than G and GR for our rugby fix.I enjoy some of the stuff on GAGR but the comments seem a bit of a boys club.

I couldn't agree more, that contingent may as well be invested in the 7s game if that’s what they want to see!

What l've noticed the last few seasons from the Springboks in particular especially when defending their line or in their 22 have been a defensive wall, every man making their tackle and when 2 involved driving them back the same with their scramble defence has been superb! DEFENCE wins games, this is what lve noticed the most in NZ rugby lately as well as not being so fluid in our backline attack and secure under the highball.Selections also have played a big part in this, playing a handful of older underperforming players a season or two too long!

I don’t think it has to be consecutive though right. There’s a month break between JRLO and July tours, and a couple of fortnight breaks around the RC.

The dbl dipping with sabbaticals is a big incentive I think, to resigning players, but other than that (can be balanced multiple other ways) not playing ones are pretty straight forward. How things started. You only play have a year a few times and you can extend your carrier another year was the premise. A free years contract value etc.

Same with Japanese sabbaticalists.

Sabbaticals have always been about money. It’s either get paid for doing nothing, or get paid twice by playing for someone else at the same time as the All Blacks.

“Every level will leave. Let the players without loyalty go.”

Well, considering there are, according to reports, over 400 Kiwi players playing professionally offshore, compared with around 200 signed up for NZ Super Rugby teams, it looks like a lot of Kiwi Rugby players are without loyalty!

Senior All Blacks duo come out in defence of 'scapegoat' Savea

Cam Roigard is very good. But he’s speedily becoming the most overrated player in the world.

Spot on. Hamish could be ok as he really does seem to know and actually care about NZ rugby but he likes to prod rather than write, which changes things

I agree. But there’s a big contingent of kiwis who seem to be in denial about the state and value of SR.

The longer SR exists in its current form the worse for the ABs in the long run.

I seem to remember TJ twice getting Aussie ref Gardner to change his decision.

I do think Richie was well versed of the laws tho. As good as anyone ( player )

Can the All Blacks navigate their way past old enemies to win the World Cup?

I completely agree with what you are saying. There is far too much permissiveness between NZR/HC and the players. High standards were no longer at the heart of the project.

The All Blacks are at a crossroads. Are they nothing more than a group of players now? A kind of rugby Harlem Globetrotters whose only purpose is to generate money for their federation? Always the same players, paid by the federation, with a coach under constraints. If the coach is constantly told, “You have to pick him because, you know, we’re paying him a lot and he still has two or three years left on his contract”… OK, but in that case, we are no longer talking about sporting excellence at all.

I was being facetious. I can think of a few scrumhalves that are better than Roigard right now.

My comment is about how often we hear how NZ has the best players in the world. From NZ.

I think we have to move forward, it is the only way. Though I think Rassie did it by accident, in selecting his old guard for Auckland, and new fresh players for Wellington, he was able to get a substantial benefit over the All Black players who had to back up.

Exploring new players and combinations is the way to boost the performances of these 7 names.
