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.

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

Yeh sorry Wayneo, got it wrong it was 50 not 40. 😁 my point was the ABs can be physical too. But all talking does not matter now next weekend is the big test. I still have Boks as favourites, but it is clear we will be up for it.

All Blacks player ratings vs Bulls | Rugby's Greatest Rivalry 2026

Some players obviously had issues with Razors style, which is really an individual thing but I can see you might say that affected group attitude (even of those players that thought Razor was great).

Getting personal buy in is huge in sport but if you want to concentrate on team play the method of attack is the same, its just the style Rennie wants is probably more familiar. Razor used the lineout and maul as a strength for example, he (more likely Hansen) wanted BB at 10 kicking the ball out and using out forwards strengths. Rennie wants Love and Dmac running the ball back.

Wayneo he hasn’t played his first 15 or 23 yet? Surely you can acknowledge there is depth there ..

Each team has been a mix of def ins, maybe ins with competition for spots( there are a number of those) and probs not yet

The ref was a yard away and he saw the ball touch the line which was why he gave onfield decision as try. Just as his onfield decision. with the wint’s foor on touch line. He was correct in both decisions.

The TMO requested he look at it again he did and his decision was he did not see any evidence that should overturn his decision.

Its clearly very different already. Cant you see that? Just the basics of a press conference are back to normal and guess what? We know who the HC is. The gameplan has improved, the communication has improved. Pretty-much everything really.

You can say he bought players in, but he didn’t trust them l. Love got a few mins on the wing ffs.

The refs sees exactly what the TMO wants him to see. The local broadcaster does not control the TMO’s replay muppet.

Toko I am fighting a losing fight for Sititi on these posts! But as noted elsewhere Sititi tops the performance charts for NZ - first in tackles / minute and second in carries / minute. Lakai 11th and 9th respectively. As Blackmania fairly notes it’s difficult to compare the stats of an impact player and starter - but I think Sititi’s contribution is being underrated at the moment.

I like this coaching group. A real no nonsence about them. I just think of Sititi dropping passrs v Italy and hes dropped for the following week. Real consequenses.

I agree with him, but for me it was not an individual thing, it was that they just couldn’t get the team to play well together for a whole match rather than a individual drop off.

I look at lots of the same guys Razor had, but bow playing collectively better.

You reckon? There didn’t get given the same opportunities to show case their skills as the Stormers did. That is to say the Bulls were probably easier to deal with but tried to avoid those aspects or as Rennie wanted this team didn’t play into their hands as much?

Looking at the stats the Bulls and Stormers games have exactly the same breakdowns. Much lower dominant tackles this game and so much the same ruck turnovers. I know there where some highlights JT, especially from Segner, but I’d have to question you view on this games performance. Are you sure you’re factoring in the opposition?

Not defending Razor&co here but just adding some shading

There were heaps of mitigating factors injury and so on but Laidlaw at the Canes ( who I dig ) is partly responsible for the Love situation by not playing him more at 10 with last season being biggest example, played that stretch and killed it 5 wins in a row if I remember correctly? But then with some outside backs injured moved Rubes back to 15.

'Massive': Rennie on Anton Segner's MOTM performance against Bulls

Is he? Geez I thought they said 23. Oh well 26 & 30 at next two cups I guess. I do have thoughts of whether guys like Srgner and Holland will hang around NZ rugby between cups. They gave up so much to do what they did.

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

Well Played All Blacks. That’s more like what we expect. Looking good for the test serties.

A very interesting game yesterday. At 24 nil at half time people in my group were predicting a sixty point winning margin. But the second half the AB’s only scored seven points more than the Bulls.
