All Blacks 2024

Interesting test case.
Will players be keen to stick around now that Razor has seemingly decided he can’t win without Mo’unga?
You would think Burke has the inside running for at least the third spot in the team.

@taniwharugby I'm all for the unknown, but I prefer new rather than retreads (returning players) tbh. One of the mistakes made during the previous TWO all black coaching regimes was selecting Beauden at 15 when he was no longer cutting at 10.
It's hard for me to foresee much improvement in those overseas players tbh.

Where did he say that ? The media asked about Mounga, Razor never bought him up or really responded to that question.
His generic response was he has asked everyone to keep an open mind on everything. -
I'm picking undefeated ABs for next 4 years and 2027 WC

Wasn't sure where to post this
I was going to do a speculative post along the lines of 'Which young kiwi 10s will the four British home unions try to recruit' on that day the BB long-term deal news broke., but thought better of it. The BB news was a little bit too upsetting.

No matter how fit, he needs more of this!

@Chris He didn't have to say it. All this repeated eligibility talk from Razor was about Richie.
From the Media yes Razor never mentioned Mounga, until they bought it up so can you read Razors mind.
Is Kaino still lacing up?

If only, at Toulouse skills coach and academy assistant coach.
Maybe it is Lock where they are looking to shore up.

Clarke's problems are mental more than physical - i.e. workrate - be interesting if O'Halloran can make any shifts for Clarke during Super.
His lack of balance might be both mental and physical

@Nepia said in Crusaders 2024:
Is Fergus Burke really next in line? He's so nondescript that I've been muddling him up with Brett Cameron in my head while reading this thread - until just now when I clicked they're different.
I think that's fair though. Neither are stand up and look at me 10s (thus far).
I think Cameron came back from Japan better than he left, I'm interested to see what he can do in Super rugby this year.
Burke, jury still out but he is at the right team to get a very fucking good chance, so I like his chances with Razor - unless Havili ends up at 10.

@Chris You don't have to be a mind reader to realise that all this hinting at changes in eligibility rules is about selecting Richie. He's the only player that Razor has publicly stated that he's disappointed is leaving. The rest of the overseas guys are way past their prime or only rated by one member of the coaching team.
It's actually a bit worrying, bc Mounga is just a good international 10 not a great one like say DC. Razor has 4 years to select and develop one or two new 10s. He should just get on with that.
