That will be a great Christmas gift. Would love to win it. Thank you

What a Christmas present that would be to unite us on the other side of the world. All Blacks are BEST x

Would like to be a winner. What a Christmas present will it be. Love that jersey ALL BLACK all the way

Would love an AB's jersey - huge fan!! Cheers

Would love this, always wear my AB top on game day...

Substitute Admiral Ackbar for the almighty Sarlacc and you’ve just about got it.

Bro, a Wampa at No.8 surely...that homie has serious beef to swing! Eight off the back every time.

Keys to victory: Sidious as Attack Coach and having a Rancor in your team.

Ridiculous. Every team in the galaxy would have Jek Tono Porkins starting at tighthead.

Looks great, but I think Admiral Ackbar is wasted in the front row....we need him calling defensive screens to let us know if we're falling into a trap.

1 game in the southern state I couldn't care less

Wow Mel Brown, this is great news. Good luck to Anton. What a fête and way to top off the year x

Ardie deserves both awards he's nominated for.

Congratulations to all thoughs who have been nominated. Good luck to you all.

who score the most points.and beautiful...that'll be the one..."

Absolute BS that Christchurch misses out. With extra seats it can hold 26,000 same as Waikato. Such a shame seeing as a good proportion of the team are from here. Dunedin May have a better stadium for now but accomodation scarce.

Shocking that Christchurch, the powerhouse of NZ rugby misses out yet again due to the financial greed of the NZRFU. We have a stadium but due to its lower capacity more money can be made elsewhere. Show some respect for Canterbury fans, NZRFU.

As usual Christchurch the biggest city in the South Island misses out again, this is really starting to get ridiculous especially when Christchurch probley has the biggest rugby supporters in nz, if they not gonna give us a game until the new stadium is built then we gonna be waiting a long time ain’t we since they messing around with that too cos I can’t see that being built anytime soon

Wicked - what’s that the 4th or 5th year Christchurch hasn’t had a game?
And only one in the South Island

Hope to see you back in the US soon.

Thank you for displaying amazing leadership and loyalty! And not forgetting the fun filled interviews

What a wonderful opportunity to go and gain a new opportunity .. another door closed and another door opens for you! Good luck and all the best in Japan!

Thank you for your past long service to our AB team. You and the other coaches were the bestI. I wish you the very best of good luck and fortune for all your future endeavours. Happy family times !

Best Wishes for the future and next journey Steve. You are great man

You're a champion.
All the best mate

Awesome Haka as ever
that smirk... oh well, it was def the moment we’ll remember for ages.
Dang, I miss RWC. Hope ’s enthusiasm for rugby won’t die down in 4 years.

Found this Maori Haka mug on the Trader Vics website. It comes in red or white.

Canadian here - The Haka is one of the most powerful moments in sport. It sends shivers down my back and sets a tone. Teams standing up to it is absolutely a response - and it hypes up both sides.

Love my homeland.AB s are still the best win or lose.Get ready for next year boys.Dont dwell on your loss to England.Lets go get em next time.lol.And keep doing the Hala.lt is N.Z.lt is us

What I love most about this great sport is the respect on and off the field, for the game, the contestants, the team, the fans, the people, tradition and roots. The Haka is an intricate part of this. For Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and New Zealand. It is a tradition very much respected by each and every adversary. Thank you for it

Not my team, but I like the Crusaders its my second Team but I personally think that “They” could have made a bit more interesting logo than this, i understand the history and meaning and all has to be considered but surely there must be someone out there that can come up a better logo than this without loosing the historyjust my thought, kinda disappointing really !!

The video is very well done and provides a helpful explanation. If I hadn't watched the vid, I would have said it's underwhelming. Since I am a Chiefs fan, I am not too bothered by another team's logo and I don't like that particular shade of red, but otherwise, the vision is good, if not immediately apparent.

So who was the virtue signaling snowflake that suggested the change Steve Tew or Colin Mainsbridge??
#StayWoke ❄ ❄

Have no problem with a logo change embracing our culture, that's all good. But the previous logo had nothing to do with the tragedy that took place, so a knee jerk reaction is just a waste of time, money and now every fan has outdated gear, many wont bother replacing it either. Instead the money could've gone towards supporting a facility helping the mentally ill.

Missed opportunity to make a bold statement against all forms of bigotry. Very disappointing

I'm a top devoted fan, be great to get a jersey please??

There are various patterns in the same black!
Very cool

Wish I could have one like that for my birthday

Scott thanks mate

So what about your North American fans??

No shame to be beaten by a better team on the day. The win record still far exceeds the losses. It's just unfortunate that this particular loss was an RWC semi-final and it was against England. Unfortunate is all, nothing more than that. While we didn't achieve what we wanted to on the field, I was so proud of how our boys conducted themselves off the field, leading the way in being respectful to our Japanese hosts.

Isn’t it nice that there is acknowledgement at some levels of the humans our ABs actually are and it’s ok to lose. Thank goodness.

The All Blacks are the team that EVERYONE thinks of, when the word "Rugby" is mentioned.
They are renouned for speed, strength, agility and perseverance.
Just like every superhero story, the hero will stage a massive comeback, and do what they do best!

Take this as a little booster from a Springbok fan. You beat us in the pool game, and we beat England in the finals. Somehow, it seems it has been somewhat of a Rock, Paper, Scissors effect.
You know that from a consistency perspective, you are still the best team in the world!
You'll be back!

Head up, look up high n think positively... Do not think about yesterday, its all gone, but look ahead n focus for your tomorrow.
I, as a fan a supporter of the ABs, knows xactly the motivation of livining in a challenging life. There is no need for us to remain in our loss, but we learn from it.
Don't think this is the end of the world, no... At the end of your journey through a darkness tunnel, there is a bim of light, N that light will get more brighter n brighter when you get it there.
Be strong n remain to what you believe...

Let it go guys, move on. Hey look there would be something really wrong if you didnt feel bad and just blew it off. Your human, your awesome, you recognised what went wrong, so thats ok...we all still love you so please give ya selfs a break..someone else is allowed to win once in awhile.

Yep definitely in the awesome category for sure..as my sons say...primo!!!!

What an incredible try..

Les Blacks ont toujours été des magiciens du ballon ovale.
Titre mondial ou pas, c'est l'équipe qui me fait le plus vibrer. Le Japon était très bon aussi.

je me souviens de cette essai magnifique

My favourite hurricane good luck
