Scott Barrett for my pick. He will be here at the next RWC, will play the full 80 and has proven his leadership under razor already

Fair play, Scott Barrett definitely seen as the favourite! 👍

Ardie Savea to lead ABs24 and the Captaincy. Scott Barrett has to many dates with Reds cards
@rugbyitch6 ай бұрын
Agreed, Savea would be great as Captain and yes Barrett's discipline could cost him the role.
@bchantz30566 ай бұрын
My choice is Cody Taylor. Smart and never say die attitude reminds me of McCaw,and that's what's needed
@rugbyitch6 ай бұрын
Good pick, only reason why I won't choose him is because he is 33 years old and may not play in the 2027 RWC, but I do agree that he has the ability to captain.

Good question, he has been injured for long periods within the season but yes I still see Razor selecting him.

Scott Barret so he starts behaving Being an NZ samoan like Ardie would love to see him as captain but i think it brings down his aggression, we need him unleashed

@rugbyitch6 ай бұрын
He definitely deserves it, incredible player! 🙌
@subhuman1196 ай бұрын
I believe Scott Barrett will be captain as well going forward. The reason he'll let Ardie just play the game. Ardie will be back up in the event that Barrett doesnt play or whatever reason. The last option will be Codie Taylor.

Thats fair, sounds very probable 👍

Scott B is obvious but, somehow Ardie’s absolute brilliance and enthusiasm, leading play ALSO has to feature somewhere Thing is, he is also a forward DMac in the backs group has fire in his veins I think he needs to be developed as well in some manner or form Some thoughts…⁉️👊🔥🥂 🪖

The based overseas conversation doesn’t involve nz as they can’t choose players that are based overseas as SA don’t have those rules

Yes Im aware, only pointed it out as it may come into Razors thinking with selecting players who have comeback from their sabbaticals i.e. Cane Beauden and Savea.

@@rugbyitch so it’s just on your explanation on the overseas player is different So siya is based in France for more than a (don’t the correct amount) year So will only come in the test window Where Ardie will be back in NZ from soon so it means he will be in NZ from then on So it’s not really a point against him It’s just some people are struggling to understand the difference between Sabbatical and contract players Which there is no difference in the boks as it’s an open door But I think Ardie should be captain As SB has shown to be a liability with cards and that will mean Ardie will be the replacement captain and that will put more pressure on him but there won’t be that much if he was captain from the start

He first would have to be signed with NZR in order to consider him as he is contracted to play in Japan for a few more years but if he was available for selection it would be a intriguing option.

Razor is panicking, All Blacks dont need Mounga. Big difference with shining in Super Rugby and stepping into International tests. He always seems to fade in the All Blacks and looks lost against the big games France Ireland Boks etc.

Brother he hasn't even had his 1st test and yr trying to pick him apart times have changed if they want too pick from overseas players let him ❤ the competition overseas has cort upto southern hemisphere teams we need him too do his job and if he thinks that's the best option then that's the best option I'm excited win or lose those days of AB's winning every game are gone....
@ngabushallday66426 ай бұрын
Lol, what a stupid thing to say. Razor rates Mo'unga so highly because he produces the game needed to win at the highest level. He made the decisive attacking play v Ireland in the quarterfinal & opened the boks up twice in the final, both plays which resulted in tries, one to BB & the disallowed one to A Smith, which WR said after the tournament, should have stood. What games have you been watching?
@jesseferguson42696 ай бұрын
Not sure Razor is panicking but he doesnt have the experience he would have liked available. Im picking he will have a very rough first year or two at the helm. Any team that loses 600+ test caps of experience will go through a serious rebuilding process. Tough times ahead but the talent is there and he is obviously a good coach.
