Description

Former All Black Ant Strachan joins Martin Devlin to dissect the All Blacks’ latest selection dilemmas, ahead of the second Pumas test in Argentina. He praises Cortez Ratima’s sharp service and composure, while urging patience with Billy Proctor, whose step up from Super Rugby requires time but also accountability. Strachan highlights unsettled combinations in midfield and on the wings, stressing the need to find balance before facing South Africa. He explains the crucial differences between playing 12 and 13, and backs Quinn Tupaea to perform when given the chance.
