So as we begin the end of year tests, who are your frontrunners for IRB player of the year? I can't really comment on Southern players, but from the North I say maybe Leigh Halfpenny/George North/Geoff Parling.
With Geoff Parling on the mend, Courtney Lawes has a good opportunity to re-establish himself amongst the plethora of talent England has in the second row. Billy Vunipola and Marland Yarde can also do a lot to secure their future on the squad on Saturday; Vunipola's a huge load at no. 8 and could make things interesting if he can throw his weight around in the right spots, and Yarde's pace can also go a long way to counter Australia's quicker back line. Either way, should be a very fun match.
For those not aware. The All Blacks is New Zealands national rugby union team.
Very proud history and the sport is a religion here.
They are insanely good and have been having a dream run the past few years.
Some sports experts are saying they are one of the greatest sporting teams in history, any sport.
Even if you don't know much about the sport, you can still appreciate the quality in which they play their sport.
Looks like the will be in The USA next year to play a game. Probably New York.
NZ teams have played in the USA before. But very rare for the All Blacks, If at all in the USA. This is the real deal, the top NZ team and current world champions. Will be interesting to see who they play, this hasn't been decided yet.
In the future what I'd like to see happen is North America (USA and Canada too, they have a better side than us TBH) become a stop-over at the start of each test window, for northern teams going south, and southern teams going north, although for more evenly matched teams- like Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Argentina, Scotland and Italy.

haha not really that excited about that one as the opposition is likely to be weak. I look forward to the tough games much more. Eg. vs. South Africa.
If the All Blacks beat Ireland this weekend, it will create history. Will be the only time in history a International team has gone an entire season unbeaten.

This All Black team is indeed one of the best teams of any sport of all time. Along with the 70s Brazil Football Team, 2008 Jamaica Sprinters Track Team, the late 2000s Barcelona Football Team, mid to late 90s Chicago Bulls etc.
