The All Black season finished with a comfortable win over Wales, but attention now turns to what will happen next. Questions have been raised over coach Scott Robertson and captain Scott Barrett regarding their future standing in the team. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.
The All Blacks season is over, with the team rounding out their year with a comfortable win over an inexperienced Wales side in Cardiff. The Scott Robertson coached side failed to claim a Grand Slam on their Northern tour after a defeat to England, and finish 2025 with 10 wins and three losses. That sounds pretty good, but it was the nature of those three defeats, and some other inconsistencies, that has some pundits concerned about the team's progress two years out from the next World Cup. Rugby reporter Joe Porter runs the ruler over the All Blacks year.
