Maybe not in Rugby, but I'll bet I can beat them backgammon!

No. Never in the history of the world have a national team stepped forward with so much brute strength, stamina, ball skills or intelligence.
You have a fly-half that can kick and catch at the same time, a tight head prop who can spell "claustrophobia", and a wing who can overtake a wild goose at full flight.
None of us are worthy, o great Kiwi. You truly are the best.😳

nailed on certainites for the World Cup:'(

yeah i agree that no team can beat them but i would have liked to see ireland play them in the autumn internationals. We would have gave them a good game.

Not at the moment, no.

It's amazing how much depth the New Zealanders have at the moment. Like my brother said a while ago - he can select 2, maybe 3 distinct teams of All Black players who will beat any of the national sides at the moment.

That's the big problem. Ireland have a superb first 15, but in a competition like the World Cup, you're going to pick up injuries. This doesn't matter to a squad like NZ but will absolutely kill Ireland's chances.

I really hope Ireland do well. I think at the moment they play the game as it should be played, good pace, tough uncompromising commitment and good team cohesion. The lack of overall depth may well work to their advantage if they do stay injury free. Finger crossed and good luck.

There are so many in the current AB players pool that it is unfair to call it an All Black team. There are 15 in a rugby team Graeme Henry has been trying to make it 30 odd. The result is that our players are several games short of match fitness, they have no cohesion, they are lissing tackles, making knock ons, chucking the ball wildly under pressure, don't run onto the ball at speed and haven't showed any ability to form combinations through the back line.

Two games out from the cup and we still don't have a worthy centre in the squad.

The whack and bash rugby play we are seeing at present is far worse than the loose headless chickens running we saw under Laurie mains. We have run out of time.. it's almost cup time and we aren't seeing team play.

Invincible? I think not. I think we may be very lucky to get to the final.
