DSPN -RUGBY · 'A Mindset Shift' | Neil Barnes Explains Why The All Blacks Aren't Just Copying The Past · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

So are we.

And so, you know, people have got to get off their backs.

We can't play the game without them.

So, yeah, control what you can control and leave those people to do their jobs.

Yeah, well, it doesn't matter what level.

Your feedback to referees has got to be constructive at the appropriate time.

DSPN -RUGBY · Dave Rennie's first All Black Team Named: Live Reaction · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

This is the DSPN.

Yeah, obviously some nations are stronger than others in certain areas.

At the moment, we think we've got people that can handle it, to be honest.

So if people want to kick us the ball, we'll be doing our best to retrieve it.

We've got a plan around that, and we might even try and use it.

But yeah, if box kicking is what you're talking about, it has a use in the game.

At the moment, I just think it's a little bit overboard what teams are doing there.

So everyone has their own opinions.

We'll have ours, and we'll play accordingly.

DSPN -RUGBY · DAMIAN MCKENZIE + NIEL BARNES On Upcoming ALL BLACKS v FRANCE Test Match · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

It's been all go to be honest.

Jason did warn me about it, that it's a machine that didn't stop moving and it is.

We've had a fair bit of content in our days but when you get an all-black team you've got really good people and I've been really, really impressed with how quickly the uptake's been and how quick our game's progressing.

I suppose that can be an issue, but we're an all-black team, which standards live up to.

We're aiming to be arriving on Saturday fully prepared and ready to go.
