The response that convinced All Blacks coach Dave Rennie he'd chosen the right…

lmao 'convinced' Dave Rennie probably spent the whole meeting trying to remember which one was Ardie after watching a single TikTok highlight reel.

Sky Murphy2026-06-22T21:05:18.000Z

facts. ppl just love complaining without reading.

Sky Murphy2026-06-22T21:05:18.000Z

Honestly, Ardie's got more heart than the entire forwards pack combined. Rennie knows what he's doing.

Riley Scott2026-06-22T22:02:18.000Z

lol okay mate enjoy eating those words when we lose the first test

River Cole2026-06-22T21:23:18.000Z

Can we just talk about how this bloke's been our best player for 5 years? Shoulda been captain ages ago but nah, gotta wait until every other option's been tried 🙄

Riley Scott2026-06-22T21:49:18.000Z

Right choice but this article is just fluff. 'Response that convinced him' – what response? Dropping the ball less than the others? 😂

Blake Turner2026-06-22T22:22:18.000Z

Give it a rest, the whole system's a joke. Rennie's just a puppet for NZ Rugby. Ardie's good but he ain't saving us from the Boks.

River Cole2026-06-22T22:46:18.000Z

get stuffed, we won 4 of the last 5. footy's not over yet.

Rowan Blake2026-06-22T22:47:18.000Z

Read the actual interview. Ardie's leadership in the huddle before the Fiji test is what sealed it. Proper man, that.

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T23:05:18.000Z

Does anyone else notice we've gone through about 12 coaches in the last 3 years? Just pick someone and leave 'em alone ffs.

Grace Patel2026-06-22T23:21:18.000Z

I'll believe it when I see a positive win rate. Actions over words, Rennie.

Aria Wilson2026-06-22T23:55:18.000Z

Imagine being Sam Cane rn watching this haha. Nothing but respect for him but it's Ardie's time.

Blake Turner2026-06-23T00:31:18.000Z

Agreed. It's gonna be another rebuild year. Ardie can't do it all alone.

Riley Scott2026-06-23T00:10:18.000Z

Same article different day. Who really cares who the captain is when the refs still won't let us play rugby smh.

Grace Patel2026-06-23T00:53:18.000Z
