Jeff is a secret Springbok fan 😊

[@AC-hu3xk]

😅😅😅😅😅

[@zachariatekawaare4761]

I am perplexed that no one mentioned the possibility that Sam may be coming home for the opportunity to COACH

[@ShawnDrymen]

He has bags of experience but the engine and dynamics cannot be the same getting on in age.

[@itistrue101]

how the mighty have fallen.... Sam's been a great player and deserves all the respect in the world. But seriously, this is where NZ rugby is at. Well it was great while it lasted.

[@timgregory82]

The only reason he's not still in the Abs is cause he went to France for money. He's still good enough to make any international team so why not.

[@michaelmoynihan9591]

​@@timgregory82 he,s is old fart now.not anywhere near player he was.wake up old kiwi deadwood mate. .if he was a dog they would shoot him well past it.😂😂😂

[@itistrue101]

@@timgregory82 You think he'd make the Boks, French of Irish sides? No chance. The rest are below us so hardly an endorsement IF he'd make any one the sides just below. He had a fantastic international career, but it's a glaring inditement of our depth, especially in the tight five, that a man of his years is even being considered.

[@danielagreda1974]

All the World loves Sam Whitelock ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MegaTkls]

Jk wants whitelock as a 40yo at the next World Cup.. ok

[@andregreyvenstein1369]

Yeah bring him back along with Carter and McCaw 😂

[@rodwellchigome7567]

Desperation RFU

[@lamelamelame3]

Stinging indictment of Kiwi rugby if they require Whitelock to come back. Youd think they would have developed someone to take over -- especially since Whitelock can't hack the level of comp in France.

[@AC-hu3xk]

4 year Cycle to develop young talent . But then how can you!!! when the old guard is held back....

[@00000ag]

Are you guys still in mourning or managed to get on with your lives? 😂😂🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@markrutherford6010]

I believe you have won three world cups and one TMO gift. We don’t know who is best until 15 plays 15. Everybody knows that 14 v 15 is never fair contest.

[@00000ag]

@@markrutherford6010 still in the denial stage. Listen. Take all the time you need. The healing process is different for everyone. Stay strong

[@markrutherford6010]

@@00000ag That World Cup final was the most controversial final ever. We don’t want see another final like that.The TMO is destroying our game. Too many players are getting red cards for tackle height.The game needs 20 minute red card for tackle height. The fans want see a fair contest.A fair contest is always 15 vs 15.

[@joedennehy386]

​@@00000agmate we win nearly 3 out of 4 against you since uncle gert stopped blowing the whistle for you after 1976. We have nothing to get over, we are supeior to you. Check the facts

[@itistrue101]

Its all good our country isn't a crime ridden third world shithole. Oh rugby you say lol

[@plutoniumnitrate1201]

oh JK dreamer much

[@Graham159871]

Lol so funny to see NZ going through what us Saffas went through for decades. We have had mass, big name exodus' that left our super rugby teams rebuilding basically half a squad a season. Our poor old rand could not compete, just like NZ having to allow longer and longer sabbaticals now - "pay super players enough" ,lol you cannot compete with French and Japanese salaries, and its not just that, its the experience of traveling and experience for the individual. Quicker NZ, like SA had to, realise the game is global and you need to pick your best no matter where they play, the quicker they will find themselves dominant again. We went through all this, learn from us. If this panel was not so small minded and isolationist they would have realized this but, just like JK's glasses, they are too thick..

[@joedennehy386]

We beat South Africa nearly 3/4 s of the time since neutral referees came in after 1976. We love playing you but we each manage it our way

[@stealthpakfa]

100% correct. Razor was spot on with selecting the best NZ players available regardless of what competition they play. Super Rugby is a junk competition played in front of empty stands.

[@pakamisagcolotela890]

For what now?
