Rennie era? More like the same old shit, different coach. All Blacks played like they were still on summer holiday.

Jack Morrison2026-07-04T09:22:18.000Z

mate, Rennie is the real deal. Give him time, he'll sort out the set piece.

First test at the new stadium and the roof was open. Bloody freezing in Christchurch tonight.

Nations Championship? Just another money grab from World Rugby. Take me back to the June internationals that actually meant something.

Jack Morrison2026-07-04T09:39:18.000Z

Ref was a joke. How many forward passes did France get away with?

Chloe Martin2026-07-04T09:50:18.000Z

you're just mad we lost the Bledisloe. Get over it.

Dave Rennie is a good man but let's be real – the ABs haven't been the same since 2015. This rebuild will take years.

Watching from the couch with a beer. Not bad but France are gonna be scary in a few years. Their young blokes look legit.

Christchurch stadium is nice but the atmosphere was dead. Too many corporates in suits.

James O’Brien2026-07-04T10:33:18.000Z

nah, crowd was loud on TV. Stop whingeing.

Eva Anderson2026-07-04T10:32:18.000Z

Anyone else think the new All Black jersey looks like a training top?

RNZ2026-07-04T11:10:18.000Z

top? Looks better than that grey abomination from last year.
