All Blacks vs France - Mex Praises 'Smart' NZ Selectors & Backline, Defends Quality of French Rugby

Martin Devlin and Murray Mexted go deep on the All Blacks’ recent test series win over France on the DSPN, with Mex firing up over “naive” analysis of the French side in the NZ media. He praises the ABs selectors for finally getting it right - highlighting the quality of Beauden and Jordie Barrett, the smart reshuffle of Tupou Vaa’i to blindside, and the physical edge brought by Fabian Holland. Mexted backs the coaching trio of Scott Robertson, Jason Ryan and Scott Hansen, calling them “savvy and cunning", and says the team’s trending the right way... but the number eight jersey remains up for grabs. Argentina away looms large, and Mexted reckons it’ll be the biggest test yet for this evolving All Blacks side.
