Watch Now<\/a><\/p>\n Top try-scorer at Rugby World Cup 2025, 18-year-old Black Ferns sensation Braxton Sorensen-McGee lit up the tournament. Here are three of her best, and you can also watch all 11 that she scored, now on RugbyPass TV. <\/p>\n If we go back to this time last year I was unconvinced by the All Blacks. They\u2019d often played poorly, lacked any discernible or reliable pattern of play and generally gave the air of a team unprepared for the rigours of test rugby.\u00a0<\/p>\n We also had the slightly bizarre and abrupt departure of assistant coach Leon MacDonald<\/a>, along with a tendency to simply give the ball to Damian McKenzie<\/a> and hope for the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n I was a bit disillusioned prior to the team embarking on its 2024 Northern Tour. I feared England, Ireland<\/a> and France<\/a> might dismantle these All Blacks and that Scott Robertson\u2019s tenure as head coach would scarcely last longer than that of his old mate MacDonald.\u00a0<\/p>\n I needn\u2019t have been so pessimistic. The All Blacks were largely outstanding in beating both England<\/a> and Ireland and lost no admirers in their 30-29 defeat to France.\u00a0<\/p>\n Where there had previously been confusion, now there was cohesion. Where there had been a penchant for the unpredictable, suddenly there was a shift towards more conservative, high-percentage options.\u00a0<\/p>\n I was moved to opine that Robertson had at last put his stamp on the side and that they\u2019d only get better from there.\u00a0<\/p>\n It hasn\u2019t really panned out like that, has it?\u00a0<\/p>\n The home tests against France and The Rugby Championship<\/a> campaign were every bit as patchy as the previous season\u2019s. Compounding the performances, that have ranged between poor, average and occasionally quite good, has been a selection policy that suggests an element of making it up as they go along.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019m trying to be optimistic about this year\u2019s trip north. I\u2019m trying to be heartened by the progress made by players such as Leroy Carter<\/a>, Quinn Tupaea<\/a> and Fabian Holland.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019m glad Sam Darry\u2019s back in the fold, even if it adds yet another lock to the mix who\u2019s potentially better than captain Scott Barrett<\/a> and I\u2019m constantly reassured that the presence of Ardie Savea<\/a> and Cam Roigard<\/a> should mean the All Blacks are competitive most of the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n The All Blacks did play well on the 2024 end-of-season tour and there\u2019s no reason why they can\u2019t go unbeaten this time around.\u00a0<\/p>\n Whatever challenges rugby in New Zealand<\/a> faces \u2013 and I believe it faces a few \u2013 this is an extremely talented All Blacks squad, with all the weapons it needs to comfortably account for Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s just that they don\u2019t look any nearer to becoming a team than they did when Robertson took charge. Sure, he\u2019s given up on relying upon McKenzie to do something miraculous, but any successes the All Blacks enjoy still seem to be the result of an individual doing something brilliant.\u00a0<\/p>\n The contrast between this team and the great Crusaders<\/a> sides Robertson coached couldn\u2019t be more stark. The Crusaders were far from star-studded, but had a very obvious method of playing and executed it with ruthless efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\nBraxton Sorensen-McGee\u2019s Top 3 Tries from Rugby World Cup 2025 | RPTV<\/p>\n
