  • The All Blacks Need To Prove THESE THINGS On Northern Tour | Rugby Roundtable

    The All Blacks Need To Prove THESE THINGS On Northern Tour | Rugby Roundtable
    Nov 3 2026
    Martin Devlin is joined by John Day and Mark Watson for a massive roundtable preview as the All Blacks gear up for their opening Nations Championship test against Scotland at Murrayfield. Following a grueling year of test rugby, we look at the historical record against the Scots, the danger posed by flyhalf Finn Russell, and why our forward pack needs to front up from the first whistle. The team puts our set-piece execution under the microscope, discussing why an 80 percent lineout success rate is simply not good enough at test level.
