Where are the All Blacks placed ahead of England & Ireland? | The Breakdown, October 27, 2024

[@iancork9721]

Looking forward to all blacks coming to Dublin

[@juditaslepankova6150]

Its nice to have "The Breakdown" not so serious.... Good mix of people on this episode. Enjoyable watch!!!

[@marktahu8767]

The Team is a work in progress - the other coaches are no doubt watching and trying to decipher the direction Razor is pursuing, but it doesn't look as though the AB's have nailed the game plan, but at least they're trying to get there. Each of these tests will be targeting specific areas of improve, as a team as well as individuals. I feel we need to be patient.

[@pixelpotato4874]

You need to open up the selection rule, because I don't see any other 10s in NZ right now to match Mo'unga or Barrett's skill sets

[@takeiteasyyyyy]

You're 100% there.

[@AshboNZ86]

Mo'unga will be back in the mix in the next year or so.

[@FAvS-NZ]

Less gooo boyyysss! This autumn nations series, is our time!!! 🖤🇳🇿

[@jzkramer]

Far more enjoyable minus - with all due respect - the redundant views of JK and Goldie. Neither of those men can analyse the game like Beaver.

@@domcastrobluefool That sounds like a you problem. They're pundits. They share their opinions and they have a personality. You sound like the arrogant one to be honest.

[@domcastrobluefool]

@@AshboNZ86 JK does not share opinions he talks on top of people thinking he is better than the other pundits

[@Tehui1974]

Sorry boys, but DMac is not an international 10. He was given the keys in that position throughout most of the domestic international season, but it didn't work. It's time to go back to BB at 10.

[@jester9998]

I've been saying this for years. Dmac is not a 10. He's only in the conversation due to we desperately need a backup 10 for Mounga. Even if he plays at fullback, it doesn't feel safe playing there. Sometimes he did something big and sometimes he made some errors that could cost us the game. He's truly a double edged sword. Whether you win entirely, or not.

[@Keza82]

DMac has been absolutely terrible

[@freelancerconverse4413]

We can see it from here in Australia, D Mac not a 10. Bring back BB.

[@Yosia.toldyah]

Yip, that's where the problem is. I hope they fix it soon

[@mark130471]

DMac over BB any day.

[@Badmansband]

Beaver is on it. Looking at those clips vs England, if 9 looks the other way, the outsides have dropped right back. Opportunités to run. Maybe they need a code call to rip it.

[@jzkramer]

Second row got smoked against England earlier in the year without Vaa'i. Doubt the coaches will forget that. Personally would prefer to see Patty in the second row with Vaa'i and Scott Barrett at 6. Though in reality, he may not be dynamic enough as a 6.

[@domcastrobluefool]

So much nicer and easier to watch without loud arrogant JK

[@Natedawg38]

England should not be taken lightly at home.

[@KernowekTim]

Absolutely not. The English, though they've not played a Test since July, in NZ, did ok down under. They'll be a handful on their own turf with their crowd baying them on.

[@MagicHu]

Once again something that nobody mentions with the abs…..is the failure to let our youth have ago, Once upon a time we would unleash our newboys . This current selection are winning but by the narrow margins. Youngsters bring enthusiasm and the unexpected, imagine Roydon, sititi, perafita,Procter, love,

[@taakeyourtime]

Mark my words, 2 losses likely and 3 quite possible on this tour. The All Blacks are wildly inconsistent, impatient and lacking in attention to detail. I am sure these pundits will blow smoke up the back sides of our players, though, ensuring this now 6 year cycle of mediocrity yields no improvement in standards or sense in selection policy. Bravo, Mark Robertson, for your stubborn ignorance to the workings of modern professional sport.

[@EdgarJnrJnr]

Obviously, 2 losses will happen if we being honest Ireland and France are better than te all blacks rn

[@petewisdom1984]

2 losses is likely. 3 is definitely a possibility. I think a 4-1 northern tour would be a huge success.

[@KernowekTim]

Myttin da! From this old Ireland supporter. Yer ABs are in the best position they could possibly be. They've played ten Test matches since July. They are tuned-up. Simple as that☘🏴‍☠

[@685_Era]

Theres never been an all blacks aura it was just pure talent. Overseas media made that up. Lets go boys☝🏾🇳🇿🔥 win or lose.

[@jmo8934]

That’s not quite true. Yes there has always been the phenomenal talent but there was a psychological element there too. Teams were beaten before they even took the field. They didn’t actually believe they could win.

[@DavidShort-q1d]

The Abs got their expected result with the expected margin of victory Don't think too many players put their hands up for selection against England Perhaps W.SITITI All in all i wasn't overly impressed with the ABs performance truth be told Alot to work on still Even after how many weeks of being together? Also England's 1st up tackles need to be good So they can win or/slow the breakdown ball and really pressure the ABs They don't look comfortable in defence and are very prone in making mistakes and panicking when the pressure comes on

[@petewisdom1984]

Sittiti has for sure put his hand up.

[@mikescudder4621]

Well done Wellington!!

[@dishanjohn357]

Beaver made more sense today, compared to the other clowns collectively all year

[@AshboNZ86]

I think it's unfair to bring AB's back for the NPC final if they haven't been involved throughout the campaign. It would be really unfair on the players that have contributed through the season only to sit out the final for AB's that walk straight back in. But it would be cool to have AB's feature in the NPC more but that's unrealistic due to burn out and injuries. The AB's need fresh players for the end of year tours.

[@tobolee6385]

No ways nz are ahead of ireland and france ....they are maybe 4 but lose to england and they 5th ..

[@AshboNZ86]

So much hate for JK and Goldie but it's really the "fans" who are the ones with the problem there. These guys know and understand the game better than anyone commenting here. They've played at the highest level and they are close to the players and teams and have the inside word at times. You don't need to agree with everything they say but some of the hate, name calling and insults shows how ugly a lot of people are.

[@Rangis_Patch]

go the boyz 💪

[@atoms-to-atoms]

Do the AB have the Will (jordan ) to win?

[@MagicHu]

Key to Wellington win a champion 7s coach he needs to be the all black attack coach….

[@DaveBooth-qs7sw]

Pleased to see JK no longer on the panel!

[@KohaNewton]

In my opinion the ABs are having a below average session. So I see us losing both tests . Lol

[@Silvius.2]

Giving young new players only game time at games where doing well to winn and at every bigger country against like roses, books or ireland play older team where played years is nothing solving? Some youth AB also must be implemented in every games.

[@rugbyanalyst1]

The only thing that has been consistent under Razor has been the inconsistency throughout the games in terms of performance. The team has been playing in patches well but overall you get the feeling that they have underperformed. Will be interesting to see if anyone (ie. Proctor) gets a chance to start against one of England, France or Ireland. We learn nothing about the inexperienced players when we see them perform well against Japan or Fiji.

[@KernowekTim]

Play Proctor, I reckon. He needs as much Int game time exposure as possible heading towards RWC 2027.

[@EdgarJnrJnr]

I don't think he's starting England he will be on the bench at best. There's a reason why that squad flew to England early that's your starting team plus a couple from the Japan squad read between the lines 😂

[@rugbyanalyst1]

@@KernowekTim Yup I'd play him this weekend against England, Ioane on the wing.

[@rugbyanalyst1]

@@EdgarJnrJnr Yea, unlikely for sure. Sititi and Cane started are likely to start again so it's not like no one from the Japan side has a chance.

[@EdgarJnrJnr]

@rugbyanalyst1 no but sititi and Cane are a team players cane has been in our starting team for the longest he was there for leadership, he was going to start against England anyway. Sititi he already had a start spot for England they just wanted to experiment him at 8. The people who were competing for positions are the locks, Tuipulotu put his hand up for selection against England he will likely be on the bench. Alb and proctor I don't think they put their hand up to start as center so one of them will be benching England. The wingers were competing to start England because razor wants Jordan at 15. Dmac got another chance but gave razor another reason to start beaudy due to inconsistency.

Yeah but they've been playing club rugby for 2 months and don't forget - half the team comprises of leinster players.

@@Natedawg38 Club rugby, with respect to you, is not International Test rugby. No more the Super Rugby is compareable to playing for an ABs International .

[@Analytical2000]

When Ireland went to SA in July, it was their first game since March and the players were at the end of a very long season and yet they played very well. Also, Ireland have not lost in Dublin since they played France in February 2021. I expect Ireland will be fully fired up and ready for the ABs.

As already said, England have elevated their game considerably, NZ has to stop thinking their all so special. This female 'reporter ', clearly doesn't understand the History, nor the oral impact of the AB's, reporters like her and what NZ produces, only serve to limit our AB'S.
