New Zealand Side I Want To See In Game 1 Vs The Springboks

• Archie Wilson
The biggest test of the season is coming right up for the All Blacks as they will host their biggest rivals in the sport in their famous stronghold of Eden Park this Saturday evening. It is going to be a tall task for an All Blacks side who, since the last World Cup, have been stifled by the Springboks in every encounter. Now, as we have done for the majority of their games this season, we are going to provide you with a lineup that we could see this coming weekend for Razor. However, this week we have a bit…

The beauty of this Jacomb performance was how it felt like he took ownership of last weekend’s loss and made it his mission to drag his team over the line and get them back to winning ways. Offensively, he was dominant, leading his team in both carries and metres gained with 91. On those carries, he beat the most defenders and created the most line breaks, showing just how dynamic he is with ball in hand. As mentioned, he scored a try himself but also showed his playmaking class by setting one up and notching a try assist. He didn’t…

Biggest Questions With The Springboks Coming To Town

Biggest Questions With The Springboks Coming To Town

• Archie Wilson
Something that has happened recently is the All Blacks slipping up early in the Rugby Championship, usually against Los Pumas. This has happened once again in the 2025 edition of the Rugby Championship with their disappointing showing that resulted in a 29-23 loss, with some calling it one of the worst All Blacks performances they have seen. Now, I’m not quite in that boat, but I certainly have a few questions that will need to be answered by the coaching staff and players as their biggest rivals show up on New Zealand soil in 10 days’ time. We’re going to…

Xavier Roe (1 Point) It was a genuine team performance that won Waikato the Ranfurly Shield, but it would be hard not to add in a name here from their side after securing one of the most famous trophies in…

After becoming the number one rugby team in the world for the first time in a long time, the All Blacks have been humbled in their second game vs Argentina. They lacked accuracy across the park, whether that was from attacking execution or defensive discipline. The All Blacks were a step behind in every facet of the game, which resulted in the 29-23 loss. As we have done after every All Blacks test this year, we are going to dive into our player ratings for the test. Ethan de Groot The All Blacks front row was just fine once again,…

From an entertainment perspective, The Rugby Championship got off to a great start with two cracking games. There weren’t many who backed the Aussies to get the job done, but they were well rewarded. Can they do it again in Cape Town? Let’s get into our two games this Sunday 👇 South Africa vs Australia Sunday, 3:10am | DHL Stadium The Wallabies shocked the rugby world last weekend after scoring 38 unanswered points at Ellis Park to come back from 22 points down.

New Zealand Predicted Squad vs Argentina Game II

• Archie Wilson
The All Blacks will return again this weekend after their dominant 41–24 win against the Pumas in Córdoba. While many people were happy with the result, the performance left plenty to be desired. There was a severe lack of execution in the backline, who were outright carried by the forward pack. The coaching staff have preached continuity throughout the majority of their media availabilities; however, there has also been an acknowledgement that the backline did not perform. On top of all this, some of the big names are set to return from injury, so let’s dive into our predicted squad…
