This weekend marks the start of a new era under head coach Dave Rennie, and the fly-half selection is heating up. McKenzie acknowledges Love's impressive performance this season, especially after he outplayed McKenzie in the Super Rugby Pacific final. While many expect Love to take the starting spot, McKenzie’s experience could still play a crucial role in the decision. Beauden Barrett’s recent form may also affect his standing in the competition for the jersey. “Love is a good player, he’s had a great season,” McKenzie states, noting Love’s maturity despite his youth. McKenzie faces his Hurricanes rivals in All Blacks camp for the first time since the final, emphasizing the need to set aside Super Rugby rivalries as the team prepares for France. McKenzie also reflects on his struggles with form under previous coach Scott Robertson, expressing optimism for Rennie's expansive style, which could better suit his play. “It’s about getting our eyes up the field and seizing opportunities,” he explains. As the All Blacks gear up for a critical match, the tension over the fly-half role remains palpable. #DamianMcKenzie #AllBlacks10Battle #RubenLove #Rugby #sports #podcast 🏆 More Rugby Championship podcasts: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/sport/rugby-championship/ 🎧 Listen to the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoWFEoIqbbFvypZ5JaUPiUcQ7dMN-OW5P
