Scott Robertson explains BIG changes to All Blacks team to play Springboks | The Rugby Championship

All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson made a handful of significant changes for round four of The Rugby Championship, including a reworked back three and the promotion of two Test rookies.

[@teachingvietnam1931]

So lekker to see Razor just rolling with the questions. Nice and relaxed knowing this media stuff is not his battleground. Happy to have some solid springboks/Allblacks games happening again.

[@Balance-v8x]

Good on you Razor, bring in the young blood and work towards 2027, forget about winning at all cost like Fozzie and Hansen. If there is someone who will bring pride back to the AB jersey, and rebuild a constructive culture, it is you. You need different players in key positions.

[@PaulaMatawalu]

It takes time to rebuild a team on every position. Razor is starting to rebuild these all blacks team with some rookie players coming in. Most of the season campaigner already left the all blacks. Compare to springboks with only few rookie player coming in. There is a huge void in terms of position, team leadership and experience. Razor is starting to rebuild this team eventhou if they lose few games this year. Next year will be a different all blacks team. Great coaching team with lots of new ideas and strategies..

[@jeremyviall4168]

Pride in the jersey? That is exactly what Henry and Hansen built, on the back of losing very, very few games. Fozzie lost games but won competitions (aside from the world cup and he got real close) and didn't deserve the hate he got from NZ. As a nation we cannot lambast Fozzie the way we did and then turn around to Razor and say "winning isn't important, just focus on the world cup" hardly seems fair.

[@philliproberts7294]

Exactly mate they won't win the world Cup with this team but this team is better than last week the result might be the same but at least he is trying something else

The all blacks building depth. As a Springbok fan I think they are going to win the next one. My belief is that the all blacks is not the worst that they have ever been. I believe the rankings are an indicative of how close the irish, springboks and all blacks are...(England very much underated) As older as this sport gets it will get more competitive in the professional era. It is exciting.

[@685_Era]

Be a very different team come the bledisloe. Hopefully love, proctor, tosi, sititi, plummer all get game time

[@JamesSmith-qr7be]

I doubt we see all those faces Aussie arent as strong but we would be in trouble if we rolled out a B team. Definitely Proctor is one who deserves a game against them tho I want to see more of him. Would love to see Noah Hottom get a crack too he is massively talented I predict he will be the starting halfback at the next world cup. Against Japan I imagine all those guys in the wider squad will get all get a game. We should be able to beat Japan with any of the squad members. Aussie deserve a little bit more respect than that but as I said of all those names Proctor is the most obvious to play against them.

@@user-lw9rf1yz7z 6 carries in the first 20 minutes, early involvement. One of the top tacklers of the All Blacks, and consistently disrupted SA go-forward. Also almost scored a try early in the game, only stopped by a strong SA defensive effort. Few things obv missed try opportunity, missed passing opportunity, decision making under pressure, but that will come with time. Despite the mistakes, overall I rate him about an 8/10 for his performance on Saturday (Sunday).

Dmac is getting better and better dont get me wrong ill be welcoming mounga when he returns but to have Dmac as a back up puts us in good stead for the world cup add BB to that and we will have 3 pretty good 10s to turn too. But Mckenzie isnt the sole reason we are losing we havent got the right balance in the loose trio we desperately need to find a 13 who is world class I dont think thats Ioane I'm hoping Proctor could be that person. We have alot of inexperience in the pack which will come right. But we have very talented halfbacks coming through. Roigard and Ratima are very promising and I see alot of talent in Noah people in NZ will hate this prediction because he wears red and black but I predict he will be our starting 9 in the next world cup and will be extremely good.

@gigolicious he's not losing focus and he's not avoiding the media. He's human so he's every right to feel uneasy about the media.
