The uncapped 24-year-old centre, a product of Saints’ academy, has made 115 appearances for the club and has been selected for several England training camps.

“I’m really excited to have extended my time at Saints. I feel like, this year especially, we’re really pushing on towards winning some trophies,” Dingwall said.

he’s really starting to look ready for international rugby. Ford-Dingwall-Lawrence would be pretty exciting imo

Have the All Blacks stumbled across the perfect midfield partnership?

Sux Big Jim did himself a mischief, I’m dying to see him get a crack at 12. He looked ok in his limited minutes.

But Jordie will need to be injured before surf Jesus will consider it.

Top five Premiership Women’s Rugby transfers for 2025/26

Your basing things on no facts-we simply dont yet know what impact having so many non english players will have . Its only been in the last 4-5 years that the number of non english has grown so greatly at many clubs.

The vast majority of the current red roses squad have been in it for years(many since they were 18,19,20).

The WBs are a bad sample in rating a power player. Let’s see what he does against the Boks in the cauldron of their stadiums and then we can start to say he should be there till ‘27.

The losers of the All Blacks' Rugby Championship campaign

Other than a few key players i.e Savea, Jordie, Jordan, it is telling on what a constant turnstile of players the jersey has become which can only signify that we do not have stalwarts that deserve the jersey the way other players have in the past. It used to be that at least 10 out of 15 players were arguably the best at their positions. Other than Jordan, who can you say the same of … Savea is an incredible all round loose forward but without an ability to master his core roles above all like a Steph Du Toit can we even say that he’s the best in the world. It’s hard to stomach.

I don’t personally. I think a lot of people are confusing Razors need to do something to take this team to the next level, now that South Africa have gone their, to the mediocre pile of crap Fosters was. Razor nearly just won the best/toughest RC in history.

I think Joe would be great replacing Wayne Smith. I think you get all his upsides without so much of his rigidness that he introduced to their structure.

Will Stuart is actually an introvert, which isn’t what you expect of a 140GK International tighthead. Will started life playing 10 (which is why he still has good hands) and converted to prop. He was always good around the park but his scrummaging wasn’t as good as it needed to be at Wasps.

Once Du Toit came, the Bath scrum improved but you actually saw all of the props get better, which they said was down to Du Toit in training. He does his sessions but is very open about helping the others and helps that he tells you what to do but then packs down either side of the scrum to show you, which is why he has made them all better (that’s a tough school of propping).

Are you saying that he didn’t show up? Because he most definitely did for Moana on both sides of the ball, running the ball well, sometimes superhumanly so, and getting timely turnovers. He’s done the same in the black jersey too. It was pretty damn convenient that he was the one with not only the final turnover against the Boks at Eden Park but also being part of the counter ruck that ended it, while featuring heavily in the attack. The team’s an inconsistent mess in so many areas and he’s one of the only players who’s been consistent in almost every game barring the Wellington catastrophe. They definitely need to start grooming a successor given his age but effort is definitely not his problem.

De Groot is great but he’s far from our most consistent player. And like you said, he won’t always get to start which is going back to one of the big issues with Scooter - he’s consistently getting outplayed by other All Black locks.

Yep their contracting model is destroying the game. They are possibly offering too much to retain players.

Kemara was ahead of O’Connor but I think only playing himself because Reihana was injured.

Yep, with Codie Taylor and George Bell around it’d be great if he went to the Highlanders and got some more game time.

NB - are you using that logic stuff again? 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, you may be correct, actually playing the best 13 in his correct position of . . . . (Ahem!!) 13, does have some natural logic to it. . . . . . Which is why he is playing at 11 for the AB’s.🤣🤣🤣

Top five Premiership Women’s Rugby transfers for 2025/26

It’s a valid concern but I think it’s a generational thing. A surprisingly high proportion of the current squad broke into International rugby at 19 or 20 - I suspect because they were the first generation to come through a proper pathway so were better equipped to overtake players who’d come up as amateurs.

Those players are now well established in the squad and many of them are young enough to have another RWC cycle in them.

Yeah I didn’t even want him at 15 in Fosters reign because the team was struggling so much for ball and he’d always just kick it away.

Schmidt found a way to turn that into a strength by making the team a low ruck count strike team, but Razor had the chance to turn it around after Beauden came back from Japan running again but stuffed him/it by making him a 10 again.
