John Kirwan on if All Blacks can innovate their game to keep up with northern hemisphere | RugbyPass

NO

The all blacks have nothing to worry about - trust me ... from 🇿🇦

Great to see Whitelock as Captain. Put Barrett back in at 10. Get rid of Savea, can't have a tiny man at 8.

NZ have loads to their disposal and I am not actually that concerned ref: Centres. I think the talent is their for future to be the best again, for sure.

SA are going to be tough though, will need that full strength squad, but NZ vs SA in NZ x 2, really youd expect NZ to win, seriously. I have seen loads of negative comments mainly from English supporters, about the All-Blacks. Very insecure and twitchy people up their in England aint they. They must be sweating it that NZ just have so many players to their disposal, I was wondering England, do you need some more Kiwi players?. Your so amazing and all, that you still continue to use Kiwi and foreign players, how is this?.

Anyway, NZ look great. A few surprise inserts into the All-Blacks and if I am honest this Foster concerns me as Manager of the All-Blacks. Best he performs, or castration will become your middle name mate.

All starts with an innovative coach bro

You have a couple losses and you suddenly think you need to innovate??
A fully fit and fired up kiwi side would wipe the floor with us northerners.
We may beat you occasionally.... But theres hardly a need for panic

Coconuts should play for Samoa, Tonga, Fiji

I think you’ll be surprised this time round gents….. the trophy will be coming home with the LIONS 🦁
We’ve got nothing to LOSE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 👹💪👍🏻🙃🏈🦁😎👍🏻

Eddie Jones will still beat ABs at next WC, Foster will lose that showdown.

They don't need innovation. They need size and muscle. The Poms manhandled them in the WC semi-final

Don't expect to much with Foster in charge ... One of the worst decisions that the All Black management have made ... Razor should have been the Person put in charge of this team going forward ... Fosters track record is .... well ... 😕

Too many players outside of their natural positions… especially at the back

The AB’s management did Ngani Laumape DIRTY! So for that reason I’m out the f#%king gate don’t care bout them anymore and will watch League Go Da NSW vs Queensland

Hannah is only there for politically correct reasons.She is the "right" ethnicity for working in television....if you get the picture.

Why are these prats holding these microphones....commonsense would dictate desk mounted microphones.
Or maybe they are pretending to be commentators at a match...what a joke.

Faigaanuku should’ve been picked with the havili combination because he’s a beast

Hannah is soooo boring

The thing that frustrates me is if Foster fails this year they will rush Razor in and expect him to turn it around in two years. He should have been given the job after 2019 with a four year plan in place.

New Zealand are about to enter one of those fallow periods they have after every great team. It's going to be difficult for a few years. There's nothing in that squad that will worry the Saffers, French, English, Welsh, Irish or even Scots.

Pari Parkinson should have been selected

With Foster? No.

NZ only play the Championship teams regularly seldom facing Fra and Eng. Why?

The All Blacks do not worry about innovation, they just improve their cheating skills!! That includes the referees as well. It is part of their DNA.

I have a lot of respect for the All Blacks, but I feel like they are in decline. If you look at their results in the u20 world cup, it kinda backs it up, France on the rise, All Blacks on the decline.

...a helluva challenging and powerful AB Team ~ Whitelock is a natural, nada doubt nor uncertainty! Hugely exciting times at hand now...

Kirwan is, put simply - thick as shit.

I think for the All Blacks it's very simple- figure out how to deal with the rush defense and the kicking game. Your playmakers can then do the rest.

All blacks to innovate their game to keep up with N. Hemisphere? Pretty sure that should be the other way around

Click bait title. Not at all what they said

What is the point of Kirwan saying, "there is only one #7 in this group if they see Savea as an 8" ? . They haven't picked Sotutu so he can sit in a hotel room

as long as we play the best players in THEIR best positions then Im ok with whatever happens. Stop the get all the best players on the field at the same time

The boks will kill this team

Jk do what your good at nothing .keep up .where right down under son

With that Title I think J.K needs his head read 😂

We won't win the Next World Cup . Fozy is a yes man. To many generalists and not enough specialists. It never works.

No need to innovate when your players are way ahead of the curb. ABs will always be #1 and I’m okay with that as a Springbok fan. That win ratio is incomprehensible in international sport.

How could you "keep up" with people you're ahead of?

Innovate their game to keep up with Northern Hemisphere??????
What a SILLY title 😂😂😂😂

very exciting a new start and combinations going : still the most exciting Team in the world of Rugby...and then there is ‘the Bokke’!!?

Very excited Whitelock Captain, long overdue I say

Games will be decided by the ref. Games will be full of stoppages and cards for soccer dives.
I wont be watching.
