'They smelt it': Scott Robertson says Italy sensed All Blacks' vulnerability

I agree with a B+ rating for the ABs this year. That is a pass mark in a transition season. A new coach, loss of senior players, injuries, some bizarre refereeing calls at times and sometimes unlucky rubs of the green all conspired to deprive this side of the perfect record. I foresee better results next year. No panic just yet.

'They smelt it': Scott Robertson says Italy sensed All Blacks' vulnerability

A messy season capped off with a politically laden, woke haka and the worst performance. Time to swab the deck clean of wokeism over the summer break as the Boks aren't going anywhere and are genuinely getting considerably better rather than just saying they are. Allblacks have butter fingers.

Stephen Smith: 'Four of the top nations are leveraging our platform'

Clubs are training for the season and it’s a different fitness requirement to 4 intense internationals in 4 weeks. Players couldn’t sustain that load over a season or be up to international fitness just off club rugby training and playing.

‘Right a few wrongs’: Ex-Wales flyer’s message of intent with Crusaders

John Afoa was drafted in 2023 , played then , (2023), not this year. That was Robertson's decision . We won in 2023. As for your comment about "cattle", we did not have the "cattle " mid way through this comp. But I really reiterate , go support another team,

'Doesn't look right': Ireland count injury toll after bruising win over Fiji

A good humoured game, good reffing. Big guys in Figi maybe a bit off the mark re playing in Northern Hemisphere. Good discipline for Ireland coming back to form. Doris is such a good captain and is everywhere on the field. New lads did well.

They painted themselves in a corner because if they denied it, then they would have deemed to have had supplied it.

Italy more recently just came off a 3 point win to Georgia and before that a thumping from Argentina so not sure they are anywhere near their 6N form though.

TJ Perenara clarifies reference to the Treaty in All Blacks' Haka

Perenara is super woke, the treaty of long ago is irrelevant to a game of rugby in Italy. By referencing it and claiming the countries going through tough times is clearly because Perenara doesn't agree with the democratically elected government of New Zealand that people from all ethnicities voted for. Perenara is making it divisive and political despite many of his team mates that wouldn't agree with his decision. The Allblacks saved this year's worst performance to combine it with the most divisive haka statement. Perhaps it's overdue now for NZ rugby to leave the haka for home games only, ensure that only the players that want to do it are included and never again have 'insertions' added by political activist players.

'They smelt it': Scott Robertson says Italy sensed All Blacks' vulnerability

I expected a larger win than this and the ABs were off slightly whilst the rested Italians were well up for this and gave a real committed performance

Frustrating but a lot of those ABs forwards have done huge minutes this tour and Italy are not the side from the World Cup

Remember they beat wales and Scotland in the 6N

Drew with France and lost to England by 3

You are right. My comment was not meant to be a complaint. It's more of a warning to other teams that once this Bok team gets everything together, they will be close to unstoppable.

Former All Blacks grade the 2024 campaign

Difference is SA lost by a solitary point in both losses, and in the case of Argentina, away after making 11 changes to the team.


AB losses were by larger margins and lost at home, playing arguably their best sides.

South Africa player ratings | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

Giving 52 players caps in a calendar year over 13 matches. When the majority of the players don’t play with each other (I.e. domestically etc) and you’re bound to see less than polished performances.


In the past, the boks would lose games in the name of building. Now they win games with less than perfect performances. Even Score 7 tries playing poorly.


I’m happy with that.

Yeah, because that's what I said, play without a 10 at all. Mind you, we do seem determined to play with only 14 far too often these days...

I'm a huge ABs fan. I think the game was messy but enjoyable to watch. The Italians really defended very well... To see ABs try different ways to break them during phase play was interesting to watch

My bad, added missing words. Just saying so many injuries that it was a 23% win rate team for a lot of games.


And they'll be up around something like 70% next year which will see Penney get reappointed!
