Six favours the All Blacks need from Santa's little helpers

From memory SA backs were offside all night inc being a metre in front of most up and unders. Just from memory… oh and from replays.

Aus was so illegal at the breakdown it was comical.

Richie Mo'unga and Cheslin Kolbe continue to make a big impact in JRLO

Great to see Richie Mo’unga weaving his magic for Brave Lupus in Japan. Interesting reading his coach, fellow Crusader great Todd Blackadder, saying he is an even better player now. I believe it. It was a very good interview with Todd in the “Rugby News”. Informative with some great observations.

While Ox gets scrum penalties, often with illegal tactics not seen by officials. Tamati Williams scres trie.

Shaun Edwards, tacking big guye has always been the same. However, most important is that the eyes focus on the hips because they will not tell lies. They go where the player goes, so tackle low. However, the most crucial aspect of tackling big guys like that is to wrap your arms and clasp your wrist to the ones with power in their legs cannot bust your tackle. That is the most under taught and essential element of any good tackle. How many times do we see tackles broken because this final part is missing. Someone will know Shaun and can pass it on.

My Christmas wish is that this unrelenting barrage of negativity stops. It is time for all the regional tribalism to stop, for us to get in behind the ABs and Razor. Anybody looking might have noticed that despite the toughest competition ever we are still ranked number two. Let's meet the challenge.

'To lose one Welsh captain is unfortunate; to lose two might be considered a bit careless'

Wales U19s played this week against england. We have a hot prospect at loose-head in Hudson Nevin, currently at the Scarlets. He was dropped to the bench as the Bristol prop is dual qualified. However, Hudson is also dual qualified and Ireland wasted no time in naming him for their U19s squad as well. This is on the back of losing our U18s captain, Will Moore, to england as he, too, is dual qualified. To lose one age-grade international is unfortunate; to lose two is way more than just careless.

Pat Lam blasts 'archaic' process that lost the All Blacks Tony Brown

They should be bitter with the NZRU, not the coaches. They are just messengers. That is why coaches prefer other countries because they have the freedom to coach themselves instead of doing what the board order

Pat Lam blasts 'archaic' process that lost the All Blacks Tony Brown

I wouldn't count on that. TB don't want the AB's job. They are archiac and is stuck in the previous millennium. Razor have as much say as me and you about selection and coaching tactics. The AB's isn't playing Razors style. That job is becoming a poisonous choice for coaches and a career killer. Only a foolish coach would go there. After being with the Boks and Rassie, I can't see him go back to coach the AB's unless they pay him triple what they normally pay head coaches. He got a free hand. He is allowed to do his own thing, and what a beautiful creation of a boring forward based Boks to the most dangerous and feared and best team in the world. Rassie is a genius, but people tend to forget the other coaches around him and what they bring, especially the forwards that is getting as dangerous as the backs with all their skills they now possess. He is very happy here. Tony is already revered by us Saffas almost as much as Rassie, an AB. Imagine that. If he were to go to the AB's, he wouldn't get the same freedom, but will be forced to do what they say, and it wouldn't benefit him or the AB's because NOTHING will change. He won't be the coach but the messenger, like Razor and Fozzie.

He was, you NEVER were. NZRU still live in the past, and nothing changed at the top at all. What happened when Lam was there, is still happening. Nothing changed. He knows 1000% much more than you. That right there is a fact that a woke idiot like you can never admit. All you do is show just how little you really know.

Supersport (the Good Lord’s gift to sports television) has shown all the major international test highlights of this year, all day.

A few observations: Cobus Reinach was the best 9 in the world this year. Without a doubt in my mind.

Before reporting on it, I'd suggest do your homework first. There is fewer proper journalists left than chicken teeth. It's not about facts, but spewing whatever crap comes up in their minds and you of all people should know that.
