November 7th, it's the day the talking stops, the spin ends, and you get your say. Are we staying the course or is the political landscape about to completely fracture? The major parties are panicking, the miners are searching, and the Wellington bubble is an overdrive. But what do the promises actually mean for your back pocket? We're cutting through the campaign fluff and focusing on what really matters. Don't just watch the polls, understand the plays. Get the sharpest, unfiltered, and hard-hitting facts.

Right now, after watching Rugby's greatest rivalry, how many all blacks would make the Springbox starting 23? I want you to consider that question. I'm going to give you a few of my own who I think would make it. And then leave us a comment as always below.

We're here every single day of the week putting out rugby content, just a bunch of blokes who absolutely love the sport. Everything to do with rugby's greatest rivalry. We are thankful to HBO Max or Killer No Filler who have generously supported us right throughout this tour. Okay, so the question. Hmm, that's Springbok twenty-three. And they crushed us three tests in a row. They are back to back world champions.
I don't need to go on about this. They are an incredible side, so well coached, and they got better throughout the series. I have identified seven all blacks, and I think I'm being generous by naming that many, but I will explain. Seven meaning two starters and five off the bench. That's who I think could potentially make this starting. twenty three. cavits around uh how how how this uh operates as far as I'm concerned and and you know you may have your own as well. But Rossi Erasmus is the coach of this 23 so he ultimately gets to decide. Okay. So I've kind of added that into my thinking. But seven out of twenty-three, that is testament to how strong, cohesive, and consistent the world champions are right now.
They actually don't need any players from anywhere else. Really they don't. They don't. It's a bit like us in twenty fifteen, the All Blacks. If you asked us the same question after the World Cup final in twenty fifteen, you get a very similar answer. How many other players from around the world would make that All Blacks twenty three? So we had Owen Franks, Mialamu, Rutelic, Whitelock, Kano, Reed McCaw. Just listen to those names again. Aaron Smith, Dan Carter, Nonu. Conrad Smith, centurions, all of those guys. We d we don't need anyone else, I'm sorry. As good as you might be, are you better than any of those guys? Uh no. Thank you very much. Ben Smith at fullback, Bowden Barrett at the beginning of his brilliant career and Sonny Bill off the bench.
Yeah. I know that that guy in your team is pretty good, but is he really going to take the place of one of those guys in the All Blacks? This is where the South Africans are at right now. So to make things simpler, I've gone with the box starting fifteen for the fourth test in Baltimore and used that as the basis of my argument. I I know that it it kind of chopped and changed a little bit throughout the four tests, but it just to make it easier for this for the sake of this exercise. So again Share, like, subscribe, do all that. But most importantly, leave us a comment and let us know what All Blacks you think would make this starting 23.
