All Blacks : le 2e ligne Tuipulotu de retour contre l'Australie

He deserves to be given his debut in a context where he will actually have a good chance of showing his talent.

Agree that world rankings make more sense, and agree that SA have earned their current #1 spot. Counting weeks at #1 makes no sense at all though when SA weren't playing matches for over a year. Its almost impossible to overtake the #1 ranked team when they aren't playing games.

The pictures were the only thing worth commenting on, nevertheless.

And it's not just for him, because bar Jason Ryan, don't think any of the other coaches have coached at international level.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but it might have been better to let Robertson head overseas and then pull him back after a couple of years of international experience—similar to Steve Hansen/Graham Henry.

Brown turned down both Fozzie and Razor's invitation and remained loyal to Joseph.

Fast forward to 2023 Razor is announced as the coaching successor to Fozzie. In the gap between Razor's appointment and the naming of the coaching team, journalist Paul Cully called Tony Brown and asked him if he had been approached, he answered no and that he was available and looking for a job as Joseph had already committed to returning to NZ.

Rassie pounced and the rest is history.

Should be a cracker.!

I answered why the name was changed, multiple times.

You seem truly angered they didn't consult you personally before changing the name. What an injustice.

Incidentally, they aren't under the auspices of the British Lions. You've even acknowledged that by referencing the name change. You continue to contradict yourself. Lost in the rage.

Can you even remember what you were raging about?

Still no answer on why the name had to be changed then?

Or why a country full of touchy souls that must stand alone, are yet so desperate to stay under the auspices of the British Lions?
