great game from roigard today he is sharp and has a glint in his eye like arron smith has very rare in a half Finlay christie does'nt have it need to give cam more game time
I LOVE You All Blacks Always 🎉
For most teams, this was nothing more than a training run, the chance to try out combinations. So let's not get too smug untill you get past the group stage.
Ian Foster is the problem with Nz rugby. Why the hell would you pick Christie over Roigard ???
Ab run the ball go figure. On can do loster game plan if forwards are crap. The forwards are useless
It's Namibia should of been 100 nil. Ab way off rwc pace
Team for Italy:
De Groot/Tamiati, Taylor, Newell, Retallick, Whitelock, Papali'i, Blackadder, Savea
Smith, Mo'unga, Havili, Ioane, Telea, Fainga'anuku, Jordan.
Subs: Ofa, Samisoni, Nepo, S Barrett, Vaa'i, Roigard, McKenzie, J Barrett.
Beauden Barrett proved why he kicks so much – doesnt have the speed anymore. Neither does Clarke after his injury.
Havili rather than Jordi as he works better with Rieko, imo.
I am delighted to hear the words of the captain.Put an end in some journalist talking about teams as Tier 1 and Tier 2.The blessing is on New Zealand showing the spirit of sportsmanship.
The All Blacks are back, they are back after beating the giants of Namibia 71-3,
Has anyone actually considered the possibility that France could throw their final pool game against Italy to prevent the All Blacks from progressing? It’ll all come down to bonus points and point differential but it wouldn’t be beyond reason for the French.
it was all one sided – just a training session for the AB's – no real competition.
Roigard and Dmac must be included on the bench. Both are genuine Gamebreakers! Also Fainga’anuku for his ability to cover wing / centre.
The ABs, unless they are deceiving, look a bit clueless at times, which is unusual for them.

This is how New Zealanders play rugby. Hopefully Foster says f**k the structure and let's the team go loose..
Just when we throught were done with tricky Ricky M and his legendary proffesional fouls in the 22 (not to talk about his unhealthy affection for chatting up refs) … here we go again with the all blacks criminality …. early shoves on the scrum and the buffer players protecting the jumper in the lineout to avoid the opposition getting to the ball on the mall… luckily the referees it seems after 25 years of rugby is finally picking up on the all blacks playbook for criminality in rugby 101 … authored by hansen and co- authored by fitzie… with some input no doubt by fostie …. in my opinion they should allow 2 yellow cards in the 22 for proffesional fouls and the next one is a red for the captain and a penalty try … its the only way we'll get rid of these underhanded and unethical tricks by the all blacks !
Party is truly in full throttle in the background 😂 rather be in the sheds having a beer with the lads
It was a good opportunity to put will jordan at 15
Move out hansen rolll up Razor
after two games 24 penalties against ..NOT A GOOD STAT ! wtf is going wrong ??
Dear All Blacks fans, we played against Namibia. NAMIBIA, not against SA, IR, Fr etc.
Did you notice how many unforced mistakes, rookie mistakes, Foster's team made? And with whom? With Namibia. What will they do in the Quarters?
It's obvious Ian Foster has no idea who is best team is not giving Damian more game time before the world cup was a mistake
Why can't these reporters follow instructions? Are they a bit simple?
Could someone please explain Ian Foster's reference to "a week in Bordeaux" in his opening comments – did he mean "Toulouse", or will the All Blacks now be spending a week here?
Foster out ⛳
Do others have concerns with havilli ?? .
Good on you Ian Foster! You're doing a good job.
It's not if it's when forster & his weary men will be turfed out of the WC
All the best Boys, well done, keep your momentum high, forget the noise and do what u do best,,,, May God bless you…
Fainhimuku the man
