Reshape the All Blacks? More like reshape the bench cos they'll be warming it all season again. #SameOldStory
the Chiefs were already running well before he showed up. Bit of credit to Foster's system there.
Facts. Nah his record is decent but the hype train is exhausting.
get stuffed, Rennie's a myth
Morning coffee and some All Blacks drama. Savea's a good bloke but captaincy ain't just about being loud in the huddle. Hope Rennie actually lets him lead.
Ardie's got the heart but he can't fix the lineout on his own. Rennie better have a plan.

Here we go again. Another reset, another saviour. Wake me up when we actually beat a tier one side convincingly.
Dave Rennie couldn't shape a plate of nachos. Overhyped coach, overhyped team. France gonna smash us again.
nah that's harsh. He's done more with less than most coaches.
come on mate, he turned the Chiefs around. Gotta give him a chance.
Disgraceful how they just dump the captaincy on Ardie like it's a hot potato. The man's a world class loosie but leadership hasn't been nurtured. NZ Rugby is run by a bunch of suits who haven't smelt a lineout in decades. Mark my words, Rennie's appointment was as inspired as my neighbour's decision to paint his fence with custard.
Anyone else reckon the article's just recycling quotes from last year? Yawn. Just play the game already.
tbh I think Savea's got it. He commands respect and Rennie's proven with the Warriors he can build something. Give it time ye grumpy gits.
Reshape? They need to un-break the set piece first. Until then it's just fancy rearranging of deck chairs.
All good, we win one then choke. Same pattern for a decade. Just let me enjoy the hype before the inevitable lol
yeah that sums it up. All hype and then the scrum folds like laundry.
