I'm not saying that he has a shot but despite Kirwan's "he's played for England" there's nothing preventing Brad Shields from being eligible for the ABs, that was in 2019, over 3 years ago, he's eligible.

[@ObiePaddles]

Thank goodness the Hurricanes and Rebels had different jerseys. Would have been difficult to distinguish between the normal Yellow and Blue.

[@davidbeazley1958]

Love John Kirwan as a player and a top bloke but he makes this show almost unwatchable.

[@groundhogguns5828]

stop whining

[@Ipbrown]

I've stopped watching if JK's on.

[@FundiWaStima]

He plays the villain in the dynamic whose role is throw up controversial perspectives (think Jeremy Clarkson vs James May from Top Gear)… its TV mate

[@kaeamatiaha4651]

Love the breakdown. I think its Kool. So interesting though ey what we have going on in Super atm? Good to see Canes, Chiefs & Blues stepping up early. But let's hope they're still there at end of season. At finals time. 🙂👍

[@fossilmatic]

Watching those Game Changer shorts gave me a lot of perspective on the quality of the AB teams of the last 8 years, and the coaching styles that negated guys like Cullen, Barrett, and likely MacKenzie. The game has changed, I’m not sure for the better.

[@Vega-hp1vp]

Throw you out of your sink is my personal highlight 😅

[@tuttyusbuttyus]

TJ!!!!!!!

[@filixt9]

Hurricanes Vs FijianDrua SemiFinal 2024!

[@herbparker3091]

Canes Scottish coach Clarke Laidlaw in the running as new Scotland national XV head coach?

[@tuttyusbuttyus]

K. Vahaakolo is RAPID!!! Fierce too. Reminds me of Leti- I'iga. By the way, where is she?

[@usenzilegotyana681]

This panel cam learn a thing or 2 from Aotearoa Rugby podcast really

[@briankelly7897]

From My perspective , and to all the key board trolls this is my opinions, respect as I show you the same.For Scott Robertson to be talking to Sam Whitelock I, hope is from leadership role ,after the Blues game the Crusaders lineout was ineffective.The stocks of locks is buzzing.i am liking the work of Manaki Selby -Rickett when he gets a run on for the Chief, and a young guy Sangster from the Canes.The fact that Razor is talking to Richie is interesting because Richie played well as with Razor.

[@craigwells3655]

Well done Jeff, highlighting Josh's contribution. To me, Jonah was too 'one dimensional'. Seeing him live at the cake tin, most of the time, he looked lost. Rayasi from the Canes reminds me of Jonah in that respect. Not a well rounded rugby player, but one with amazing gifts to perform his attacking role better than anyone.

[@cassiemmohamed]

It's the commentators who are thrilled by the idea of the bomb squad..they are not invincible like commentators would like you to believe.

[@michaelmoynihan9591]

They forgot to mention razor need,s a miracle to transform this sorry kiwi bunch.😂😂😂😂❤

[@Connor12455]

Can we talk about beauden barrett more

[@cassiemmohamed]

Just what do mean "now the All blacks have a chance because the Springboks are " defanged" I don't agree because in the just concluded world cup the All Blacks should have won despite playing with 14 players for the better part 40 plus minutes and to be only beaten by poor refereeing decisions especially the bunker system. And that despite the springbok bomb squad. The All Blacks never feared the bomb squad having beaten in south africa in the run up to the world cup.

[@icefarrow7959]

The bomb squad were only ever good when they surprised the All Blacks at Twickenham. Made little difference in any of their World Cup games. The Boks were carried by Pollard's kicking, I swear so many people have brain rot.

[@nevilleramodike7968]

😂😂 Still back to back champions 😂🏆

[@Del353]

Somebody is very salty 4 worlcups mate and we going to make it 5. In a couple of years.

[@NZTrumpFan]

Uggy is a better analyst than JK

[@ChinaNumbaWon]

A goldfish would be too

[@NZTrumpFan]

@@ChinaNumbaWonlmao probably bro JK not had enough Speighs

[@davidpeters3857]

Excellent content

[@DownUnderWarboss]

Lets hope we dont have 48 minute's of absolutely nothing in a match anymore. The NRL is so much more exciting, more tries, passes, catches, tackles, offloads and general Rugby being played.

[@johnpurcell-1623]

Blues will win the comp

[@NZTrumpFan]

Replace JK and Goldie with TBJ and Uggy who is the GOAT

[@jonchess8844]

No woman’s rugby this week then?

[@utjiuatjavara3787]

I bet Jeff and JK are happy now that the bok scrum has been defanged finally the all blacks have a fighting chance

[@Pietie811]

The All Blacks has always been better than the Boks. They played over 105 tests. The All Blacks have beaten the Boks over 62 times. What are you talking about?

[@jieyytttt9061]

​@@Pietie811boks are undisputed!!!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@utjiuatjavara3787]

@@Pietie811 If the ABs have always been better then why did they depower the scrum?

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

Idk dude, felt like the ABs scrum was the better performing one last year.

[@SentzNonu89]

😂😂😂 comn man. you honestly saying the ABs are the reason for this change. maybe for other teams but we are more than happy to keep the challenge between us. i smell fear
