All black everything
Papali should starting, fken 🤡 coach
Awesome editing!! 👌
Wicked team👌👌
Yeah that will do
Why do you leave the best number 10 in the country on the bench. Another fuck up from the worst All Black coach ever, Ian Foster…..
wow…3 brothers in the first lineup…this going to be exciting to watch….and congratulation to Pita Gus…..
Very strong team let’s hope they do us well on Saturday
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Good luck ABs🙏👍
Thats an impressive team, although loonies selection, meh Ethan had a good season, actually a lot more players had a better season at playing 6 than Scott. There’s enough versatility in the pack, i thought we needed a specific artist for the 6 role and Blackadder is exactly that. Still quality side to shut down the green machine and protect the legacy of Eden Park.
Nice team could be better tho
Damnnn that's a great team. Full throttle! All Blacks.
Although those stupid adverts at the end blocked out the last of the reserves!
Outstanding display from the M.AB. I hoping the ABz do the same as well
Too many Barretts…
Yeah what
Dunno? Seems okay?
Dunno? Seems okay?
They are going to have a field day with Ireland.
Can't see the whole team because of the fricking ads at the end !!!!!
omg kane needs to be retired ..let him goo ffs
8 hrs after posting and I’m the first to comment🫣
Who was the last guy?
Looks like the old guard of coaching is being matched with the selections
Problem with Scott Barrett is his discipline or lack of I should say ,let's see how many penalty's he gives away in this game and if he can get through with out a yellow card.
Weakness in midfield?
