"Brutality is in the DNA. That's who we are. 💪" - Neil Barnes

Winning races at the breakdown, putting shots into people — 'it's just like fighting, you're putting little jabs into them and it takes its toll.' This is what the All Blacks expect of themselves. Physical. Relentless. Uncompromising. 🖤

"NPC is going down great guns at the moment 🏉

Neil Barnes confirms that Simon Parker will turn out for Northland and more players will be released for the NPC final. ✈️

Respect the NPC. We'll always try to release as many players as we can. 🖤

"50 players used this year and the depth keeps growing 📈

Neil Barnes says trusting the next cab off the rank means people stepping up everywhere. Fabian was 'outrageously good' tonight — made a real statement. When there's not much between players, you earn the jersey and enhance it. 🔥

"Only four tests old and he's already standing in the breach 🔥

Les Kiss full of praise for Declan Meredith after a superb game against the All Blacks — taking the line on, marshaling the troops, and being the most dangerous player on the park. The future is bright. 🟡🟢

"I believe in these guys deeply about what is possible 💛🟢

12 months out from a home World Cup and Les Kiss isn't shying away from the setbacks — but he sees the breaks being made against the best team in the world and the positive intent shining through. Optimistic. 🏆

"Everyone hates it when I say learnings… but it is learnings 📝

Harry Wilson's honest assessment after the Bledisloe — leaders needing to step up with a clearer message, defence not aggressive enough, and two halves where the All Blacks dominated. Eyes on England now. 👀

"It hits home why you play the game ❤️

Scott Barrett on the back end of his career, not taking a single jersey for granted, and what it means to share the field with Beauden and Jordie — three Barrett brothers living the dream together. 🏉🖤

"Not taking a single one for granted 🖤

150 tests looming, injuries piling up, and the depth being tested right to the end — but Beauden Barrett says this group keeps rolling its sleeves up. And seeing Ardie Savea back throwing his body around after back surgery? Pretty special. ⚡

"That intercept could've been 10 minutes in the bin… but this one went to hand 😤

Beauden Barrett on the halftime pick-off, earning his spot back in a team that's hard to crack, and how pulling the black jersey on again has reinvigorated him after a tough Super season. 🔥

"

"Why change who you are when it matters most? 💯

Dave Rennie makes the bold case — no point playing expansive rugby all year and then going risk-free at the World Cup. Back yourselves to profit more than you suffer. This is the DNA of the side. 🔥
