Re: Sam Cane - Goooooooooooooone (for good)
Considering age and 2027 RWC my long term captain would be Papali'i or Jordie Barrett. Jordie is more assured of his position but lacks experience in that role. Tana did well as our captain from 12. I'm not sure Mr. "McDonald's in the wrong house" will ever be All Black captain. Papalii is a fine o...

Re: All Blacks 2024
I think he did some things well but I also thought the Blues were getting faster ruck ball and that was why the Blues won ultimately. Could well be right, I think that has more to do with one player though. He makes a lot of carries for a 7 and so does Kirifi. They seem more interested in running t...
