Chris Rattue is well known for his click bait headline grabbing attention seeking, as a NZer I have no respect for his opinions, and I know a lot of my countrymen feel the same, of course we can win the cup next year, but so can 4-5 other teams if the cards fall right for them
Interesting you mentioned cards... We'll see how those debacles go and if world rugby can get those sorted so we don't see more like the French vs NZ series.
precisely
Yep, Chris Rattue‘ a hung like a church house mouse! Haha. He’s a cross dresser
Sorry guys, this guy does not speak on behalf of everyone in New Zealand. He is entitled to his opinion thinking we will win the RWC19.. That is fine and all.. Of course the rest of New Zealand are 100% behind our boys to win next year, that’s a fact, but like all things, it will not be a walk in the park, for us to win, we would have to overcome and beat nations such as Ireland and South Africa.. It will probably end up being the closest tournament yet seeing as teams are evolving and playing better rugby than ever. Personally, I’d love to see us win again, but I will not join this man in saying “hand us the trophy now”.. Confident? Partially.. Comes off as a bit arrogant in the newspaper? Definitely.. That little headline does not mirror some and, if not, most of the AB fan base. It would be healthier leading into the cup being a lot more open minded to what ‘may’ or ‘could’ happen.. Regardless of the ABs, IRE should be proud of how far they’ve come, the guy isn’t wrong though, we are not known to be major supporters of England, Ireland on the other hand are a nation I’m sure most wouldn’t have a problem losing to and I was very happy for them to see them secure their first victory over NZ. They play tough, wear they’re hearts on their sleeves, and have one of the best halves combinations in the game that I do admire. They are a team I get behind when the ABs aren’t playing and give them as much chance winning the RWC next year as much as any other nation that shows up on the day.. Just look at the upset Japan put on Boks, and England not making it past the pool stages.. Never a walk in the park as this man suggests, the team that wins the match means they wanted the victory much more than the other and worked harder to secure it. On that note, do look forward to the next match up between IRE & NZ! Much respect! Apologies for the long comment. 👍🏽
Well said pal, respect for not thinking it's a foregone conclusion but i don't think anyone can think the All-Blacks are not the stand out team and will take something special to stop them, i watched them against Oz last week and they looked scary
Your spot on bro, this goose is now jumping on the "AB's are Great" train.....he's renowned for rubbishing the All Blacks and individuals within the team in his column of Stuff and Co, for example, Beauden Barrett, Sonny Bill Williams and even calling for Steve Hansen to step down.....who is he to be given this airtime anyway....can't stand him
Your right brother, he does not speak for all of us but generally, he is not far off the mark .....not always but often, even in the face of NZ Rugby Public Wrath
Most ABs fans realise that being ranked #1 doesn't mean you don't get beaten in a knock out tournament. A large portion of the social media fans don't get that.
yeah bro agree with you on that, RWC 2019 will not be a walk in the park for the ABs. NZ will be viewed as arrogant with such comments and serve to motivate the other nations. I'm ABs hardcore, but am realistic like I think most kiwis, we are looking in good shape at present and building a large squad and depth to carry us through but should not be over confident
Humility is the force behind and within the All Black culture and rest assured Steve Hanson would not pay any attention to this ARROGANT! headline. I am a kiwi and New Zealand teams generally speaking (such as the All Blacks and Cricket team) are known for their humility and fair play. Chris Rattue is obviously not of the same ilk and has gained notoriety by using sensationalist headlines to feed his ego. Don't get me wrong we all have ego's but it is those who humble themselves knowing that life can turn in an instant reminding us control is only an illusion. The All Blacks are the favourites for the RWC19 that's obvious. But to say 'Just give us the world cup now' is disrespecting the other world class teams. The thing that makes this team great is their humility, looking at ways to improve, evolve and learn. If NZ media and supporters started to become arrogant and vocal then we would lose who we are and the greatness which is our heart The All Blacks.
We could win by 50 but Hansen and Reid would say *there is still room for improvement.*
Spot on totally agree make shore your brain is engaged before you put your mouth into gear comes to mind
So true. Just one journo trying to generate a story. AB’s may falter in any knockout tourney, just as before. The always have a plan B now though, as is proven with their many come from behind in last minutes record since then. I look forward to supporting them
Beating the allblacks doesn't mean u r going to win the world cup France beat nz and didn't win the world cup teams need to look at the whole tournament dont just worry about the allblacks dont get me wrong allblacks r a big hurdle but that's not the only one fyi I'm a allblacks supporter and proud but really love seeing allblacks under the pump and win even if it's at the last minute lol
precisely
He's speaking the truth. All blacks are far and away the best team in the world, and could put out two international teams that would be the top 2 teams in the world...... Maybe even 3 international teams. They are so far ahead of everyone else, it's unreal
I'm Australian but I agree wholeheartedly. Look at the All Blacks roster depth for goodness sake. I think they'll be more dominant than they were in 2015 and there is nothing wrong with admitting that but nonetheless GO WALLABIES!
go wabblees ! is john eales available for selection ? 'mr perfect'
As a Kiwi I can confirm that guy doesn't speak on behalf of me I never assume the All Blacks are going to win any game everyone has their off days.
Wrong. I’m a New Zealander. You never write off the Bokke or Wallabies and one of the teams from the UK will perform well in Japan.
Reading the comments of AB fans and indeed players over the years has me think of them as humble and unassuming. This is just tabloid tack
Anything can happen in a one off game though, we've seen it before, New Zealand have an off day, their opponents play well, have a bit of luck, and New Zealand are out. Even more so in the pressure atmosphere of a world cup knockout game.
I am south african and when he mentioned us and not Wales as a danger, I started looking at the comments lol.
Wales is always a danger lmao comment from an Irish guy that George North always I get nervous when has procession withen 5 meters of our try line
Im welsh ssssshhhhhh dont mention us. We are happy flying under the radar.Dont mention we have amazing players maybe 3 or 4 world class.Dont talk about our awesome strenth in depth and dont mention we are 1 of 3 nations on earth where rugby is our national sport and definitely dont mention our passion and love for the game.
All those things go without saying man. i see you guys eyeing that underdog story ;p
Chris Rattue is a controversial commentator here in NZ. He's the only guy here in NZ talking like this. He's an outlier and enjoys this role. He's not typical at all and loads of kiwis dislike him.
Chris Rattue is a grub. Kind of like New Zealands version of Stephen Jones(as an editor)
westsideAUKILANI exactly. Why the f*** are they talking to him?
Nope, he's giving his honest opinions.
SMC01ful what’s that got to do with it? He *is* NZ’s version of Stephen Jones and he is a grub. Click bait is all he produces.
I don't mind Chris. You just need to follow rugby on social media and you will find that people always have different ideas and sometimes it gets pretty heated. Chris is no exception.
Ratu is mostly disliked in New Zealand. He always wants to come with that shocking view and most often than not he ends up saying stupid things. This was one of them.
Possibly New Zealand should be allowed to field two teams . That way we could be assured of a competitive final
Jeanni Barber good one😀 (actually might not be a joke!)
Possibly a little tongue in cheek there
Jeanni Barber No,credit due,thay have a population of 5 mill,England should field two teams with their population of near 60 million.
Oops,I didn’t read the sarcasm lol.
yeah, like in 2011. Winning by one point while playing at home.....against a team everyone predicted would be smashed by 50 points.
Based on Ireland's inability to score tries, I reckon our second string team would be the second best team in the world right now. The World Cup is a different story though. Different kind of pressure.
We here in NZ don't pay attention to Chris Rattue he the last person we take advise from
Yeah that's when one is most blind to the possibility is when you can't "see" it. How many couldn't "see" Japan upsetting South Africa in the 2015 World Cup pool stage match? Anything is possible don't rule out anyone. The all blacks are good for this, remaining humble no matter who the opponent is. The fans should take a leaf out of their book and treat it the same way. All you need is the right day, right team and will to win and anything can happen. That is my worry is that this gap between the allblacks and the rest of world rugby is growing wider by the day, that one may just lose sight with their own growth. Always best to keep a close eye on your adversaries, the closer they are to you the better. Either way I'd love for them to win 3 World Cups back to back it would be something to behold, unreal. Bring on 2019.
For any non-NZers watching this - please be assured that Rattue has no credibility amongst serious rugby fans in NZ. You could probably tell from his paper-thin analysis in this clip that he's essentially a headline machine for the local Herald. For proper, thoughtful, in-depth analysis head over to the1014's channel - far more knowledge and insight, and far more balance.
agreed 10-14 are da dawgsbollox
He not being arrogant he is confident their is no harm in that, I fancy Ireland doesn't mean am arrogant
as an allblack fan since 1976, i wont dare tempt fate with such statements
Actually since you have been following them that long I have a question 1978 Munster 12-0 All blacks was that the last time a team held the all blacks to a shutout ?
just goggled
yes munster was the last team that shut out the abs
fyi
1905 abs 0 wales 3
1910 abs 0 aust 11
1928 abs 0 s africa 17
1936 abs 0 england 13
1954 abs 0 france 3
1960 abs 0 s africa 13
1964 abs 0 scotland 0 very rare
thats about it...cheers
interesting interview guys. re: hanson ... he is still the right man for the job. the way he handles his role with the players and with the public is great and gets better. he is clear and concise in his communications ... and he has a very accurate understanding of the game and the surrounding processes. he is extremely good.
The last 2 RWC victories by NZ had really close games, 2011 against France, As Graeme Henry famously said " we thrashed them by a point" and in 2015 we just squeaked past SA in the semis by 2 points. NZ are playing really well right now but last year showed against the lions where we drew the series, there are plenty of good teams and coaches about. I truly think it's wide open next year. Not only could one of the past winners take it, NZ, Australia, England, SA. But also France, Ireland, Wales or even Scotland. None of us really know, which is why they will play the tournament.
Baha England had there chance and CHOKED to FK
Yes Nz have won the past 2 world cups back to back but history also tells us that when we least expect it Nz have also been beaten anything can happen during the world cup. Semi final 2015 against Springboks Nz won 20-18 no cake walk 2011 Final against France Nz Won 8-7 and im expecting there will be no Cake Walk next year either but i will be cheering the All Blacks on regardless
i don't think any sports team could have enjoyed such a sustained period of winning as the Abs have without their supporters becoming slightly arrogant, especially in a country like NZ, where rugby is almost a quasi-religion. it's not an arrogance that comes from thinking other teams are going to be easy, it's just an arrogance from looking at the ABs team announcements and going "god, that's a good line up."
everyone in NZ has not only respect for the Irish side as the most obvious threat for both the 2018 northern hemisphere tour and the 2019 world cup, but also likes the Irish team. it's never not enjoyable to see the english rugby team toppled from their perch. when ireland ended NZ's winning streak in chicago, most NZers were happy that at least it was to ireland.
There is only one type of arrogance
i think there are two kinds. belief in yourself is one kind. dismissing others as useless is another kind. the AB supporters are mainly type 1 in my view.
Rugby isnt a quasi religion in NZ. If you think that you need to experience football in the UK and NFL and MLB in the States. They are way beyond where the AB supporters are.
@@MrAhuapai i know bro people who say that are just farking annoying and usually foreigners grasping at straws. We're just arrogant because we win 90 odd percent of the time against all opposition.
As an Irishman I hope we get to face the great team that are the AB'S in the WC. They are a brilliant team but so are Ireland. Amazing considering the populations of both countries.
This is *how good* the All Black's are..
3 years ago they lost over *800 caps* they regenerated *new players* and *STILL remain No 1*
But *YES* they *can be beaten 100%,* and it will happen!!.
But I'd back them for a *3 peat.* all day!
People think it's their *attacking* that wins games, but it's their *defence* that is far more *superior.*
*IT'S ON THE DAY!!*
*ANY TOP TEAM* IN THE WORLD CAN BEAT THEM!
The stars must align, the Ref another Wayne Barnes forward pass!
*BUT I'D STILL BACK THE ALL BLACK'S!!*

you very well may be right.....but im really hoping we Ireland can beat you in November (our 1st home scalp) against ABs would be a dream come true to cap off our most successful season 2018 in our history! and its is absolutely possible - we nearly did it (in fact SHOULD have done it) in 2013 in Dublin in what was a magical game to watch...though i think Ireland were the architects of their own demise since they NEVER scored any points in the 2nd half (shocking) and allowed ABs back into the match PLU charging too early to allow cruden take the kick again - it was HEART-BREAKING as an irishman to watch - we got our win in chicago but its not the same - we NEED a home win and if we do it - GAME-ON!!! as for ABs dominance - i like and respect them you can deny their magnificence however it is really bad for the sport for 1 team to dominate as they do for so long - makes you wonder what will happen should the trend continue....
@@gergemini2993 Sexton missing a *vital* penalty kick *(pressure)* would've given Ireland a *25 - 17 lead* with mins remaining.
@@Shanan81 yeah same! Enjoy playing *and beating* the North on their home turf lol
To be fair Ireland got most their points in the first 20minutes then the Abs started to kick into gear an claw back the margin.
hes a reporter with an opinion just like everyone else. chill out guys.hes human with faults like us all.
Some team New Zealand tbh I think they are head and shoulders above the rest of the teams at the moment
Yes.... Our All Blacks are Great!. Yet it still comes down to winning on the day. All the best to ALL teams!!! RESPECTS!!!
ireland have only beatin the all blacks once in the last 26 years .
lewi ngapuhi they’ve only ever beaten us just once
your correct im wrong oops
Definitely haven't peaked. There's still room for improvement which is just scary because they will likely find that improvement.
I think also what Steve Hansen and the coaching staff are focusing on going into both the Super rugby championship and World Cup campaigns is to have at their disposal the complete depth of continual emerging high skilled players in key positions.Starting from the grassroots going right through to the high schools,national competition,super rugby and of course international test...And at the moment NZ has it all,not only in our Men's sector but also our Women's.Hense the dominance in both international arenas.Ireland at the moment have a great international men's test side and so to do a couple of so other countries,but to maintain a high level of standard and sustain that level not only in an eighty minute test but also a two weeks World Cup campaign is another thing and I really don't see at the moment any other country that has that calibre other than NZ.
That's why we're ranked by the IRB number one in both the Men's and Women's 15s and 7s rugby.
Hey, when your at the top there's only one place left to go.
As a New Zealander, the All Blacks are just men, but well coached, and conditioned.
The Abs are super fit also can fit in to place with no problems.
Anything is possible at anytime, it's a game at the end of the day, we just happen to be better than other rugby nations.
As a proud Kiwi I can say that Rattue is at times an embarrassment. Until the final whistle goes in the final next year anyone can win it. Thankfully the ABs themselves and their coaches don’t share Rattues arrogance. Having said that I thought Ireland were quite unimpressive against Australia despite winning.
When the ABs inevitably underperform at some stage of the rugby championship (even if they win), watch the NZ rugby journalists put the boot in. They're great at that.
Hubris. Public pressure. Complacency. We could all be in for a unearned, but still delicious, Schadenfreude moment sometime in the next year. The eternal 'human' problem for which no doubt they have a 'plan'.
The way to beat the ABs is to outscore them by having more deception, more targetted speed, made possible by a team of players who can think accurately under the types of pressures that Rugby was designed to create. Get the opposition to run out of ideas and fold first with scoreboard pressure. To achieve this at this level the Rugby coach's main role is to generate unbreakable on-field leadership. As many potential captains as possible who are also team men.
Hint: Kick only in real desperation. To the ABs it is a sign that your side has given up.
Eddie Jones is exactly the opposite to a great Rugby coach. His way is THE way. A characterless clipboard martinet. His career strategy has been to to follow on the coat tails of others' hard work.
If Ireland do not have any tragic moments they have a great chance. But they will definitely reaffirm the fact that Rugby is the best game ever created on the way.
Peter Clark what a great post Peter. My sentiments exactly
there ball handling and awareness sets them apart
Ian Foster does not deserve the job if he got it. Met the dude, lovely guy. Hasn't done anything as a head coach.
We in NZ, should not get to carried away. When it comes to world cup rugby, anyone of the top 5 teams, could on the day win. We went into most world cups as favorites, and on the we lost to better teams.
They've learnt from those losses!
They're a better team. They respect their opposition and give them 100% of their ability.
They don't want those one off upsets to ever happen again at a W.C
Based on the evidence, Chris is spot on. You can't compare English arrogance to Kiwi confidence. The stats don't lie.
Stats dont win games
No...The All Blacks do
How about thinking before you post something?
I believe the ABs havent peaked because the depth in the bench and beyond is continual. No team is beyond beating the ABs with the right game plan, preparation, personnel and execution. No ball, no tries.
the same journalist a year ago said we wouldnt win it, this is the same journalist who put an article out saying we should drop carter before the last world cup.
Jordan Norgate and said Richie McCaw was too old
Ya but they look better now
yeah we shoulda dropped carter biggest waste of money ever towards the end of his AB career he missed most big games in his career too.
rubbish troll
Obviously I wish this were true. If rankings were all that mattered you wouldn’t play the World Cup at all.
At the last Soccer World Cup the favorites got beaten and beaten well.
One of the reasons the All Blacks do so well over so long is that the All Blacks is that they always respect the opposition, and prepare accordingly. That’s why they don’t tend to lose games they shouldn’t lose. We learned a lot from the 2007 World Cup loss to France imo.
We did learn a lot. Those mistakes at the big dance won't happen again.
precisely
Just because Ireland can beat aussie and SA and the rest doesn't mean they can beat the Abz and actually move up the ranking,Moving up the ladder is a different level of rugby SA will never be able to win a rwc playing like they are also same goes for aussie. While the irish have a chance because they are better than the teams below them doesn't mean they have what it takes.
He is dead right about Eddie Jones.
England, at Eddie Jones' mad behest, were put through the mincer two days prior to the Scotland match 2018, in an all day training session against Georgia. Then a knackered England were thrashed by Scotland. To avoid the obvious: Scotland were superb and fully deserved their win, but Eddie Jones crackpot ideas made that win almost inevitable.
Let's not get too cocky.
Let's just take every game one at a time.
this is the same Chris Rattue calling for Dan Carter to be dropped ahead of the 2015 RWC? This guy is one of NZs most inept and moronic sports writers, usually he writes articles contrary to consensus just to get noticed. He is wrong much more often than he is right so I would take anything he says with a grain of salt....and then throw it away.
Really stupid talking about giving the Cup to NZ. Have we not learned from history? We used to say that back in the nineties and won zilch.
Are you inferring that we would've won world cups in the 90s if only we hadn't been so self-confident?
@@wilsargisson3626 No, I'm saying we most likely would have won if we hadn't been over confident. Subtle difference. From a psychological standpoint it pays to keep ones feet on the ground and stay humble.
This is so cringy. I'm out.
As a kiwi I think if the same 15 run out onto the pitch for the world cup semi and final as we have had the last 2 weeks we will be hard to beat. The x factor players for the All blacks are Retallick, Aaron Smith, Barrett and Ben Smith and Whitelock. If 2 of these players are injured we are not unbeatable. If Retallick and Whitlock start we are nearly unbeatable, Those two are that good.
Jose Mourinho as Eddie Jones replacement
GreenDragon lol 😂 well Eddie has made some of the most
Idiotic selections ever .. mike brown on the wing ... his ever lasting devotion to Chris robshaw who quite possibly is the slowest flanker in world rugby 🏉.... I fancy England to come near the bottom of the six nations ...
Yeah Rattue is a headline seeker, no one else in New Zealand would be sharing his opinion and arrogance. World cup is a tournament and one bad game in the knockout stages and you're gone. Any top team can be the allblacks on a good day.
Tell us more about how we should just give NZ the WC right now Chris.
I seem to remember people saying the same thing in 2007.
Ireland are genuine threats. England will be dangerous. Scotland are capable if they play a full 80. South Africa doesn't play to lose.
If the ABs have any critical injuries they will struggle.
If Rettalick Whitelock and Reid were knocked out . . .
Barrett is brilliant but showed (with Wellington) he has the same struggles any 1st 5 if his forwards aren't competing adequately at the breakdown.
Injuries is *key,* but I think the A.B's would handle injuries *better* than most teams.
They have a conveyor belt of stock. Whitelock & Retallick would be an exception but they'd *still* manage.
Wb Sexton or Murray?
Owen Farrell?
Stuart Hogg?
Izzy Folau, Will Genia?
Duane Vermeulen, Malcolm Marx?
lotta 'iffs' but some truth in yer musings
Boks in SA, England & Ireland consecutively will be the challenges. But yes this AB team in still a work in progress
You guys need to talk to real rugby journalists in New Zealand, not with attention seekers with zero credibility.
Rattue just copying the same talking points Cheika and other past rugby players and coaches have presented and still struggling to do that authoritatively and with insight. You guys need to get on your show past AB players or even Oz presenters like Rod Kafer or George Gregan for better and deeper articulation of HOW NZ are tracking and do away with 'arm-chair' hacks like Rattue. Embarrassing.
The title is not compete yet it should have finished in 50 years
the ABs may be the creme ala creme now, but anything can happen in 12 months. sure look the last few tests against Ireland - they were all very close with 1 victory to the irish and a opportunity lost in 2013 for the irish aswell losing the game in the 82nd minute after being ahead the whole match. November in Dublin will test these young new zealanders - Dublin is a strong hold and Ireland havent lost at home in 2 years (ironicaly) since that ABs game. then theres the 6Ns and super rugby prior to the WC so.....theres are so many variables. as for slating England - i think that a bit unprofessional guys (not english myself - im Irish) but comon show a littel respect - the whole "i dont care" is very childish...
You better pray Sexton, Murray, O'Brien, C.J Stander or Furlong doesn't go down to injury come 19 W.C
Unlike NZL who has stock ready to replace injuries, I don't see Ireland or the rest of the World as strong in that department.
how is this man a sports journalist?
Nobody deserves to win until they have won.
Lol this is the fool who said dan carter and ritchie mccaw should be dropped from 2015 rwc squad... a true fool and a troll. He makes a living saying the opposite of this, and is clearly trying to troll an international audience
nobody is invincible....and even if someone does win rwc2019, it does not mean they are the best team in the world...the best team in the world must win CONSISTENTLY
I know its unlikely it will happen.. but it would be sweet to see England beat NZ this November :p
The only way to beat the ABs, is to in the very least keep all 15 players on the pitch for the entire game. After that, you must not allow them that five minutes of mayhem, during which they will rip,your guts out. Do those two things and you stand a chance.
Kiwis have set the bar with a long time, but on a given day, they can be caught but a lot would have to go wrong for them and a lot would have to go right for other teams. Ireland are very good, but Wales, England, France, South African, Australia and Argentina could beat them on a given day, and New Zealand could beat them most days.
I cant believe how much people are blowing up Ireland chances. Yes this is our best team in a long time but have a look at the bookies and they are rarely wrong.
I think Ireland need to keep building the rugby base thru the Provinces and maybe within 10-15 years we could do it.
We have come along way in the last 20 years. I am old enough to remember the late 80s and 90s and where we came from. If we keep developing our player base then anything is possible.
GAA hurling and football is so big, Cork county has nearly as many GAA club and there are rugby clubs North and South of Ireland.

Qq
Irish rugby will not beat the all blacks because it's not good enough. Australia and South Africa are the two to beat followed by France Argentina and England Wales Ireland
"Ireland are very good, but Wales, England, France, South African, Australia and Argentina could beat them on a given day, and New Zealand could beat them most days. "
ok
"this is our best team in a long time but have a look at the bookies and they are rarely wrong."
So it's all just chance then?
South Africa wont have a team in 5 years we will be in the B section
when scotland played the all blacks in 2017 they had one hundred and twenty five phases, in there they only lost four while the all blacks lost the same amount in half the phases so i dont know what he is on about the break down
Rattue needs a big spoon award. Next minute he will be doing something like running down Chris Read and suggesting the All Blacks need a new captain. Ignore him.
This guy is not a respected journalist in NZ. His opinions are his own. True rugby fans in NZ will acknowledge it's a long way off for world cup. We off all people understand the importance of knowing nothing in life is guaranteed... especially with ABs winning world cups. Ireland will be a big threat and on there day they can beat the ABs regardless of what scores or form we have achieved. South Africa is always tough. England will be a challenge and as crap as they are, even the Wallabies can beat us. Deny us time, space and quick ball and we will struggle!! At the moment we are enjoying smashing the Aussies lol
The problem with Chris Rattue is that when they Loose he throws the All Blacks under the bus for there poor performance (according to him).. The majority of us Kiwis are not like him, we are humble and never under estimate any team that plays the All Blacks. When the All Blacks loose it just shows that they are human...
You're a crack up mate. Love your vids
Let's face it where you have a country specialising in just one football code they should be the best in the world, all other countries that field Union teams also have other football codes competing for talent and support eg in Australia Union comes a lowly third behind AFL and League which means that the best talent gravitates to those two codes leaving Union a very limited talent base. Look at the UK too. So in a world perspective NZ is becoming a bit too carried away with themselves, a reality check and a little bit of humility would not go astray.
humility = a good thing...too right R G
We are elite at league and 7s aswell 😂
NZ are still ReBuilding after The Loss of So Many Players [at Last World Cup] - We havent Hit the Heights Yet :)
Sorry Irish fans and all Rugby fans!! Chris Ratue is the biggest most arrogant fool in NZ. He is nothing like the common Kiwi or Abs. We respect all teams. How could he say this when we lost twice just last year and once against the so called team who have no chance the Wallabies and drew a lions Series we should’ve won. Yes we look better this year but this isn’t World Cup year!? Lets see how all other teams look next year before we jump the Gun. I remember the miserable pre 2011 era for World Cups! Let’s hope I’m wrong and this arrogant tool is right for the abs to win 3 on the trot like the Aussies in Cricket
Lmao yea but sure when your almost impossible to beat its hard not to say these things lmao but as an Irishman I hate to say this about our team but if we can't win the RWC in 2019 we will never win it
too true cuz thumbs up yer comments
not a Rattue fan. Goes for the clickbait too obviously. The ABs play a great brand of the game and there is a combination of coaching that encourages self expression and a bunch of wonderful talents about but rugby is not a game where you can be confident a year out. Besides our media has more or less been overtaken by the Australian ownership with baiting of other coaches and silly stuff that most New Zealanders do not like. Like any team we could loose a handful of tight forwards and suddenly become vulnerable but especially with Read as captain I expect a consistently matchwinning lineout. There are a bunch of super stars from Ben Smith, Beauden Barrett and Brodie Retallick and perhaps Sonny Bill and Dane Coles to come back. Do not agree with Rattue's assessment of 'old' players. The management have, as they did last RWC cycle, given their stars a chance to fix injuries and refresh, very well . Never seen a team that can takeover and just outpoint the other team, except maybe in great basketball individuals,and teams. Barrett is not the consistenly great goalkicker in a tight game as Carter or Farrell, or a number of others and I am not sure Read can lead a team through the Valley of Death like McCaw or Johnson in the past. Ireland the the likeliest contenders but I still favour a team that can rattle on the points, so perhaps the Aussies.
well stated, Bruce
Way to jinks the team Chris
A few more years of this and no one is really going to be interested in international Rugby. Happy to pay to see exhibition games, but no interest in paying to see uncompetitive games
Based on the draw Ireland are likely to play South Africa in the semi final if they get there and then NZ in the final...so Ireland have zero chance of winning.
2:45 yes he is right...the All Blacks can score few quick Trys and change the game.......just as they did against the Springboks in the world cup,Japan 2019.....
he's entitled to his opinion, and in HIS case, it's an educated one....but in a short tourney, once reaching the knock out phase..... in an 80 minute game...when the ref may not see it yer way, or a player gets sent off, an injury or a rash of them, or the bounce of da ball / 'rub o da green'...... NZ is the bookie's favourite for good reason, but the 'field' is a shorter price, so 'hand the trophy over now' is a dumb dumber dumbest kinda comment.
NZ has the depth of talent, will prepare well, and all things being equal (which they NEVER are) could very well win it.
There are 5 other countries who could also win the WWE trophy too.
AT THEIR BEST? yes NZ wins it.
But that's not how sport works, is it?
anyone remember Buster Douglas v Iron Mike Tyson ?
on the night.
in a short tournament.
let the games begin.
As a Pom I take my hat off to the ABs. They are superb, but If this is the future, it's bad for Rugby as a sport. Any game that is totally dominated by one team won't attract new supporters or players, other than from that dominant team and even then there is a limit!
get 'better', pom..( we always have 2003, innit? )
There is a psychiatric term for someone whose ego is boosted by the hate from others and so becomes empowered by it... its called the Chris Rattue syndrome.
Utopia sounding as it may be. All players regardless of team are only human & working together is a whole other beast. All we can do is hope they're doing their best and improve. Win or lose.
Individual skill runs through many teams and at times wins games but where is the team in these teams. Feels lacking of late.
Our ABs simply gel REALLY well together. This shows when certain players gets focused, the others are right there ready to up the ante. That is exactly what all of them do.
NZ vs IRL World cup final.
ARG 3rd
PS, We need new camera operators. They get dummied EVERY TIME lol
England are arrogant... blah, blah, blah. We have the most arrogant coach in world rugby. He’s an Aussie 😂 The ABs will win the next World Cup - it just doesn’t need saying.
If Kalyn Ponga ends up jumping over to union it may be the end of any competition. He is absolutely next level I've never seen anything like him.
would take a couple of years for him to adapt unions 360 degree game league is 180 degree
and the guy you should watch out for is Nelson Asafo-Solomona hes a 6ft7 number 8 with the offload game of SBW, hes expressed an interest but that is as far as its gone.
He actually played Union at school boy level
@@LJFN213 NAS & KP FOR THE A.B'S
I just come in my pants
Jordan Norgate Jamayne Asaako as well has said he's interested
2019 is a long way and to presume that the All Blacks are going to win the cup is a big big statement that holds no merit, next year there are 3 or 4 teams that can and could win it. Have your opinion but as a kiwi here I’m hoping we’re there and we do, but never count your chickens....
Calm ya farm, the RWC is 12 months away, sheesh...
weak choice for your program when selecting a 'Kiwi' to comment on state of NZ rugby, IMHO. would u care for a list of better qualified spokespeople ?
id be in full agreement with Joe Schimdt and iv not even heard the interview yet .
Joe Schmidt has done a great job with Ireland, he might do a good job with AB’s too. Better than Foster or others who’d like it
Not sure Schmidt's coaching philosophy suits the AB's.But,yes,he would be better than Foster.ANYONE would be better than him!
Sounds like he's trying to deliberately stir things up and to make NZ rugby look the fool by making such outrageous statements that not one New Zealander of merit or status within the rugby community from grass roots to provincial and national levels would make.
I am waiting to see what Pumas will do.
Phillip C Gordon I'm with you.
Well there it was Denis... a great Puma game, on the up
Chris seems to forget that Australia beat the ABs last year.
Yes and guess how many top ABs didnt play in that match? Here's a clue....two first names.. Beauden and Brodie....oh and seven others! It was called a dead rubber. Appropriate for to opposition really!!
@@brucetucker4365 there were a lot of Aussies out as well ya drongo. Gracious in defeat eh.
What would an irishman know about being gracious in defeat.Forgotten the carry on after the Dublin return test in 2016?
You micks are the worst losers anywhere,in any sport.
No confusion on my part.
@@iggyodwyer1 it was still a dead rubber you double drongo!
Without being arrogant does any AB rugby fan really believe that if we play the way we are playing right now, with the team we have right now against opposition sides as they are right now that it is likely that we would lose? While it is always possible for the ABs to have a poor match and definitely a poor half, it is unlikely they have a poor 80 minutes and lose. The reality is that right now they are well ahead of other sides when they play as they’ve played in their last 2 matches. We’ll have to prove it next year, of course, but right now am I wrong?
Ireland has been on the rise since Joe Schmidt took over in 2013 and blooded all the young bulls - every test against New Zealand since has been super physical, fantastic rugby and close. its been a LONG time since the ABs gave Ireland a heavy beating and with the team Ireland have now that trend looks to continue. Ireland in 2 out of 3 tests actually dominated ABs in key areas especially at the breakdown. In fact , they (ireland) were the reason they lost due to both discipline in a couple of instances and not taking opportunities when they should have to close out the game. that has been Irelands achilles heel. on their day they can be magnificent and can beat anyone but it has been their lack of consistency and inability to close out a game clinicaly - too many close calls. But they seem to have ironed out a lot of them creases, so it will be interesting in Dublin in November - i personally cant wait. It is clearly no indicator for the WC but still - Steve Hansen even said the Ireland are the no 1 threat and have been for a few years! no 1 v no 2 in the world - New Zealand will be clearly looking to stamp their authority and downplay any talk of irish WC hopes and Ireland with a point to prove that they are REAL contenders and not just a tough passionate team to play and beat - looking to remain unbeaten at home and clain their 1st home scalp against the ABs...........man....its pure ....DRAMA :)
@@gergemini2993 and you can thank a good ole *Kiwi* for the improvement *including the 1st win Chicago..*
Joe Schmidt 🇳🇿🇳🇿
Don't forget how terrible Australia actually are! i was at last weeks game and seeing them play in real life is a real opener to the shambles that is Australian rugby . The all blacks haven't had a proper test this year but they got one coming in south africa .
bring on November; a magnificent occasion v Ireland @home. mouth watering, pure 'anticipation'
Ireland and england cannot beat the ABS in 2019.
ABS have an extraordinary squad with thé best players in every position and many Young talents.
And thé most important. The ABS have thé expérience and thé culture of victory.
And they have a great staff : Hansen. He won 2 world cup and he knows how win a world cup.
Definitively The ABS will win thé 3rd world cup after 2011 2015.
Can't beat the all Black's that's what the Munster team in 1978 were told by the final whistle in the greatest upset in rugby history Munster 12+0 all Black's
Easy Win for the boys😂😂😂up the mighty All Blacks
Just watched the All Blacks get beaten by South Africa a week after being pushed close by a great Argentinian effort. Perhaps Chris should pull things in a bit!
😂😂😂😂...spoiler alert. The All Blacks finished 3rd.
This didn’t age great far ;)
Lets not forget that Australia did beat the ABs 3 years ago. So it is possible. All the superlatives used are always in relation to the ABs history of winning in world sport. Which is running at approx 80%.NZ is unbelievable and devastating for 80 minutes of the game. Their attack play is otherworldly and execution nearly perfect. Plus there are players most have not heard of yet coming through the lower ranks. I believe the ABs will only lose on average 1 in 15 to 20 games. Their main winning factor is perseverance and innate faith in your teammates. Notice how they throw a ball anywhere ....and there is a player waiting. That backup and continuity only comes through years off habitual patterning which is embedded in their psyche and therefore psychological DNA. cheers
3 years seems like 300 years ago last time aussies beat the ABz
If only your teams were as good as us you could insult any one from other countries iv been doing for 28 years
Allblacks can lose ... on any given day, Aussie, England and Ireland can beat them when they are off. And it’s not getting worse for world rugby ... France, england and Ireland have all stepped up even Argentina.
If the AB a the real champion. ...just make an effort to visit n play test match against tonga..Samoa. ..n Fiji on an yearly basis.....leave aside money issue....let's come n play rugby....that's it
Lets face it is all about money and the allblacks vs Samoa Tonga or Fiji simply wouldn't draw the crowds.
@@grahamedge4349 the point I am talking about is that u label it they are the real champion. ....but the reality is this.....he is afraid of touring his brothers at the south seas in order to help them out....but he disguise it n remain in his comfort zone....if he is a real champion come out from comfort zones n play a test match with tonga..Samoa. .n Fiji on their home turf every year....if u win then I recognize u as a real champion. .....
only if u promise u won't 'hurt' me
