League getting these juniors has impacted the all blacks
I guess the thread has gone a bit quiet so you're trying kick start it with one of your trademark wrong posts, so I'll play the game to help move it along.

NAS would barely have impacted the ABs, with his height he'd have moved to lock from the loose forwards at senior level, his entire career until now would have been competing with two of the greatest players we've ever had in the position.

Also you used the plural when there was only NAS in that tiktok.

Also based on his League form doubt NAS would have the discipline/character attributes the ABs would require of him. As you mentioned this is schoolboy rugby not sure which AB he would have displaced. Reminds me a bit of an Akira Ione type that whilst has the physical prowess it’s other factors that keep him out of the ABs

Comments from the kiwi union fans on there suggest they have a different opinion

Then they're not really rugby fans.

To give you a league perspective. Pretend that NAS is an Aussie league halfback. Essentially his career would have been in competition with Thurston and Johns at their peak at the same time.

The All blacks literally just got rolled by SA in the WC final- SA choose 7 big men on the bench.. Miraculously though, NZ couldn't have possibly been a better chance with another quality big man..
Written off... as a kid! While he was dominating!
This kind of arrogance is exactly why League is growing so much in NZ. People are fed up with this kind of snobbery.
RTS happy to be home and all of NZ are keen to watch him play, in a sport that actually will give him a decent chance to show what he can do!

You don't want them? No problem, come on over boys!

Up da wahs!

We got rolled by one point and played the 70 minutes of the game with 14 men, with a coach acknowledged as one of the worst in All Black history. It's not the flex you think it is.

You don't understand rugby enough, or NZ's style, if you think NAS would somehow have been the difference.

Where are you currently "in NZ" by the way?

I'm back in Brisbane ( wages too low in nz)
That's right...1 point.... kinda suggests only the very smallest of difference doesn't it..
NZ got bullied in that game, I can't think of anyone better to have given some back..
Maybe just that little extra help,less fatigue and the Captain doesn't slip up, stays on the field ..

Bye bye wc

Old mate's fake trip to NZ is over.
When I was in Dunedin watching the snow come down briefly and you were telling me I wasn't there, it f**ked with my head too much! Couldn't process it! Didn't know where I was 😳
So I came back to Brisbane...please for the love of god, don't tell me I'm not here...😳
