The two teams have gone through a very similar path to reach this point, with home series losses to Northern Hemisphere teams before splitting the spoils with the Pumas and Springboks. To be honest, the press conference going on up in Brisbane for the Wallaby team naming was probably sounding exactly the same (they had decided to base themselves there until the day before each of their tests so far this season). So then when we make in-game adjustments, they'll change theirs up too and show us things we haven't seen." "It's about knowing the different subtleties that they have compared to the Argies and Africans. Winger Will Jordan, who has struggled in the last few tests to reach the admittedly prolific heights that have defined his young career so far, said that while they had "bounced back pretty well from losses", a lot of their focus had been on understanding the way the Wallabies have been playing. "The team's been training really well, and we're primed and ready to go." "I feel like we're getting there," he said, after naming a team that only had injury-enforced changes. Reactivity needs to turn back into proactivity, which was something Ian Foster acknowledged in the team hotel on Melbourne's Southbank. The reactive nature of those wins is at least a tick in the positive column for the All Blacks' coaching staff, given that there is ample evidence that much was learned from the previous results, but only winning one out of every two games isn't acceptable - even if it retains the Bledisloe Cup. The losses in Mbombela and Christchurch were flat, then followed by resounding victories the week later in Johannesburg and Hamilton. This is what consistent inconsistency looks like for the All Blacks so far in the 2022 Rugby Championship, a tournament that is still wide open due to the other sides playing in more or less the exact same manner.īut it's not just the final score lines that have defined the performances so far. Opinion - The All Blacks must overcome more than just the Wallabies in Melbourne this week, with a lack of consistency proving to be the greatest obstacle in this year's race for the Rugby Championship. The All Blacks celebrate after Beauden Barrett's try during the Rugby Championship game against Argentina at FMG Waikato Stadium in Hamilton.
