Watch: Try of the season banked in Chiefs derby as backs and forwards combine for outrageous score

By 2027 Beauden will be the wily old fox like captain grumpy Sexton was for Ireland. Unlike Ireland he should be taken off by the 60th minute with an impact from Richie or vice versa.

Leave fullback to Jordan as incumbent but get rid of the under six foot two candidates currently being looked at. Bring in the bigger athletes like Payton Spencer, Zarn Sullivan.

Just wait, he is absolutely electric. He might not be great against kick chase defenses like SA, but he really shines against systematic teams like Ireland and England, who are nothing without their systems. During those games, he often outshines his opposite number.

Really, WJ just needs a 10 who can help create chances with him.

The Brumbies typically underformed, so they don't count. But for the Christchurch Crusaders to go missing last season due to injuries, player exodus, and new staff, the competition lacked a lot of the competitiveness that the Crusaders normally being with physicality and set-piece. Also, the Australian sides have been incredibly lacklustre these last few seasons. The Reds and Brumbies are the only teams who have been performing okay these last couple seasons.

Due to the lack of competitiveness (and lack of punishment for it), the players have slowly become more lazy, looking to extend their highlights reel instead of working on their fundamentals. There are, of course, still great talents finding their way through (Sititi & Ratima), but it is going from a competition which was brimming with physicality and different ways to play the game to something that isn't.

I think that NZR should try to set up their own version of the Champions League. Argentina, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand all form domestic leagues of at least 8-12 teams, and the first and second place teams advance to a QF stage of the Victor's Cup, and they pay off from there. The finals location will be selected by the Victor's Cup governing body, but it cannot be in the same nation two years in a row. Teams will play home or away depending on the points in their respective leauges. There can also be an equivalent to the Europa League for teams placed and third and fourth.

The teams in the domestic leagues should be sponsored by corporations, however in the players contracts there should be a clause that the All Blacks reserve the right to call up these players for test matches and tours.

The Champions League will be played as a postseason to the domestic leagues. so in each league there will be 14-22 matches during the league and at most 3 games in the postseason, so 17-25 game long seasons.

That is my vision, but I don't think any of the nations have the financial backing, guts, or vision to do something like this.

The All Blacks sell plenty of tickets when they go abroad, it really isn't a fair comparison.
