Coach Scott Robertson will be focused on improving the team's performance following their loss in Wellington.

Ahead of tomorrow's squad reveal, Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave outlined his predictions.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'll try that again. You've replaced me with a commercial.
You're going to talk to someone. It's how important you are.
We've got a little noise ahead of you. And now
I will say, Darcy water Grave sports store coasters with us, Darcy, Okay,
we're going to see any changes to the All Black side.
We certainly hope, so wouldn't you. I think the mass
criticism around this site has been the labored approach at

(00:20):
fulkrom It half back by TJ. Pettinara. Yes he had
a great season, Yes he's a wonderful person, but at
the end of the day, the new guards are coming
and I don't think that Scott Robertson can mess around
too much more with that, and they're going to have
to look at someone that can actually set this back
line a light. So I think we'll see Cortez coming

(00:42):
in and maybe even hold them on the bench. Although
TJ might be used as a backup. His box kicking
is inaccurate, his pass is not labored, but he's just
not quick enough. He's not letting go that outside back.
I wonder as well if Sevu Reese might end up
out and Will Jordan might think it's okay, But the

(01:03):
thing is here is that Will Jordan is such an
electric player. They've got to work away to get him
out in there as well. There's also been talk around
the lack of bludgeon, if you will, from the loose
forward treer and how that operates. I don't think you'll
make massive, massive calls. There will be a couple of
knee You don't want to throw out the baby with
the bark water. But let's look at what's going to

(01:24):
happen on Saturday night. Do you think we need to
cut Rays just a little bit of slack on this
because it feels to me like he's still trying to
figure out his squatters. Yeah. And I think don't underestimate
what the Argentines brought to the party, because they're not
a bad team and they've eaten us a couple of
times in the last few years. But that was a
scatter gun approach. It was a panicked all black side.

(01:46):
And we want to see the coaching staff and the
sleector's panic by having wholesale changes. No, I don't think
they do, but they need to tweak and adjust. Look,
it's not the end of the world. He will be
judged ultimately on World Cup success and it's going to
take a while, but they get beaten by Argent Dieter
on Saturday. That's the end of that curse for for everybody.

(02:08):
There's no way that's going to happen at Eadie. They'll
beat them by fifty. They'll come back. I reckon. I'd
like to see more from Ardie Savia as well. I
think you'd be looking back at that performance going on
Earth was that that wasn't me? We will see it
being dropped up, dropped down a couple of gears and
accelerated through the Argentine, isn't Is Lisa Carrington not sure
she's going to come back in four years? Sounds like
she's how old is she? Thirty four? Thirty five? Fair

(02:31):
enough so she had the children yet reasonably not that
I'm aware of that then as well, you've got to
start factoring at it those women's magazines and see we
are going to possibly you know, I don't know what
the biological clock is doing. It's none of our business either,
but the way she performs. Remember when she decided to
come back this time around him, I was like, oh,
you're going to destroy your legacy. Ah, you've done so well,

(02:53):
why would you blot your copy book? Hold a beer.
It's stunning and so look not out of the question.
Maybe in four years time that she might come here. Yeah,
brilliant stuff, Darcy, thank you, was always appreciate it. It's
Darcy water Graves Spice. Gregor Paul is going to join
us up out seven o'clock to discuss this all black
team being named good stuff. Okay, here we're back at
