Here are the main talking points: - Unavailable due to injury: Will Jordan The key positions of interest will be in the back row and outside backs. How Rennie decides to stack his loose forwards for the opening test of the season may give us a great idea of how he intends to balance his loose trio throughout the year. Whether he goes with a more traditional blindside in Parker and puts Lakai or Sititi on the bench, pushing Segner out of the team, or sticks with the dynamic loose trio Razor seemed to have settled on before his departure will be one of the toughest calls for selection. The back three becomes tricky without Will Jordan. There’s no doubt that with Jordan healthy he would feature at fullback or on the right wing, but without him for the first two tests of the season Rennie has some decisions to make. Damian McKenzie’s last test appearance at fullback came in the 43-10 demolition derby from South Africa in 2025. Ruben Love may be a better option particularly under the high ball, but it makes more sense for him to be at 10 if that’s his long term position. Does Beauden Barrett then come into the equation to feature at the back? Or is it Josh Moorby starting his first test in the 15 jersey? It seems most likely Rennie will back DMac, but there is certainly an understandable argument as to why you would not and instead have him in his more natural role of providing impact from the bench. https://www.benmsports.com/articles/what-is-wrong-with-the-crusaders monthly 0.5 2026-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/44ccf111-fcad-4b0d-936c-fa0dfcdee9f8/fd74560ae8696abd86f3aa6ce1c0fff497b7cd54.webp Articles - What is Wrong With the Crusaders? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/da8bdd40-2270-430b-9f1a-ac388e7795d9/Screenshot+2026-02-23+at+5.05.14%E2%80%AFPM.png Articles - What is Wrong With the Crusaders? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/c777a0ce-4262-4762-bef1-effa3a5936e0/Screenshot+2026-02-23+at+7.21.13%E2%80%AFPM.png Articles - What is Wrong With the Crusaders? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/401ce989-0445-44c7-b05d-4e4ccaf5301d/Screenshot+2026-02-23+at+7.39.00%E2%80%AFPM.png Articles - What is Wrong With the Crusaders? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.benmsports.com/articles/why-te-maire-martin-can-make-the-warriors-a-genuine-title-contender monthly 0.5 2025-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/e916c134-562e-4d53-9829-723ba43f0d45/Te+Maire+Martin+Warriors+032425.jpg Articles - Why Te Maire Martin Can Make The Warriors A Genuine Title Contender - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/2b5218fc-e8a8-49ef-8d3e-cb289dd5102e/250321WarriorsNSW_021.jpg Articles - Why Te Maire Martin Can Make The Warriors A Genuine Title Contender - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/bf5e5307-8769-4678-8519-8224a9d02a60/Screen+Shot+2025-06-05+at+9.54.38+PM.png Articles - Why Te Maire Martin Can Make The Warriors A Genuine Title Contender - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.benmsports.com/articles/my-black-ferns-rugby-world-cup-squad monthly 0.5 2025-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/fac69866-6823-42f2-82c3-41b3de1f7ad5/h_00228782__FocusFillWyItMC4wMiIsIi0wLjI3IiwxMTAwLDQzMF0.jpg Articles - My Black Ferns Rugby World Cup Squad - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.benmsports.com/articles/what-is-wrong-with-reece-walsh monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/681da7ed-e7ec-4aa9-8355-dd19c7c5e030/ef958ee02c27b51986e93c741c0a1ec9.jpeg Articles - What is Wrong With Reece Walsh? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/0e4d200e-e3f2-44fe-a2f2-b88a06c93927/Screen+Shot+2025-04-23+at+1.15.39+AM.png Articles - What is Wrong With Reece Walsh? - Make it stand out This shape is not working currently though for the Broncos, which is no fault of Walsh. The reason for this is Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt not drawing enough attention when they have the ball. Both Reynolds and Hunt are traditional halfbacks, and having two of them in the halves means there is little to no consistent running threat. This results in defences being able to hyper focus on Walsh and track him to shut him down as soon as the ball leaves the halves hands. In the second half, for the Broncos second try the block shape worked. This is because Reynolds had another line runner on his inside shoulder in Carrigan, Reynolds ball fakes back inside which holds up the defensive line long enough for Walsh to have the tiniest moment with the ball which leads to him throwing a cut out ball to Arthars who then scored in the corner. By holding up the ball and faking inside Reynolds does two things, stops the defensive line from drifting and takes the ball just a little bit deeper into the line which forces Metcalf to turn in slightly and leaves Capewell flatfooted on his heels. Due to this, Capewell is no more than half a second late at shooting out of the line on Walsh which gives him the window to throw the try assist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/15d2777b-977c-4159-afde-357f7f37378e/Screen+Shot+2025-04-23+at+1.47.40+AM.png Articles - What is Wrong With Reece Walsh? - Make it stand out Compare this scene to in the first half when the same play was ran, and Leiataua managed to force Walsh to throw a bad and rushed pass which led to Pompey driving Staggs back 20 metres. In that case Reynolds failed to engage the line or hold the defence with an inside runner so Leiataua could rush out of the line before Reynolds had even released the ball. Genuinely there is little more than a second between it but it is what makes the difference between Walsh simply tipping it on and actually throwing the pass he wants to throw. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/873e73f7-e0d0-42d3-bcbe-6536780b574e/Screen+Shot+2025-04-23+at+1.52.27+AM.png Articles - What is Wrong With Reece Walsh? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.benmsports.com/articles/warriors-ratings-in-melbourne-mauling monthly 0.5 2025-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/ada20d8c-9746-4d2e-b70e-56f3d50bb617/Screen+Shot+2025-04-15+at+7.55.19+PM.png Articles - Warriors Ratings In Melbourne Mauling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.benmsports.com/articles/warriors-ratings-from-thriller-at-campbell-town monthly 0.5 2025-04-02 https://www.benmsports.com/articles/warriors-ratings-from-gutsy-round-3-win-over-the-roosters monthly 0.5 2025-03-25 https://www.benmsports.com/articles/blog-post-title-one-4h9zl monthly 0.5 2025-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/d0f7c3fc-15b2-43a3-96ad-d155ab6b154a/Screen+Shot+2025-03-23+at+2.37.43+AM.png Articles - My (Way Too Early) All Blacks Squad - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/7ec1223f-2266-481c-895a-82541b93b368/Screen+Shot+2025-03-23+at+2.39.51+AM.png Articles - My (Way Too Early) All Blacks Squad - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/e3dd4338-ba94-4988-9e1d-624bdf23ba06/Screen+Shot+2025-03-23+at+2.41.11+AM.png Articles - My (Way Too Early) All Blacks Squad - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.benmsports.com/about daily 0.75 2026-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/1be9d887-4aa0-4177-ad3e-35a4ab8ea7d0/att.m9oFX8OfKnTvgvdVYj_4t-SprMHyfZNWL6-NrflHHKU.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67daa25f0efaef78b2c1d176/adf84a97-4842-416f-b47e-5515f2e2c178/IMG_9349.jpeg
