The All Blacks 2025 season is heating up with major updates for rugby fans! As the team prepares for a packed schedule, recent news highlights key player movements and challenges ahead. The All Blacks 2025 campaign includes the Rugby Championship, a France series, and a Grand Slam tour. With coach Scott Robertson at the helm, the squad is shaping up for a thrilling year.
Centre Rieko Ioane will take a sabbatical to join Leinster for the 2025-26 season after the November internationals. Ioane, with 81 caps, remains committed to the All Blacks despite his temporary move. Meanwhile, prop Fletcher Newell made headlines with a powerful scrum performance for the Crusaders against the Blues on April 20, 2025, securing a crucial penalty. The Crusaders lead Super Rugby Pacific with seven wins. However, concerns arise as All Blacks great Murray Mexted suggests sacrificing breakout star Wallace Sititi to counter the Springboks in the upcoming Rugby Championship.
The All Blacks 2025 face South Africa on September 6 at Eden Park and September 12 at Sky Stadium, as confirmed in recent posts on X by the official All Blacks account. These matches will test the team’s depth, especially with Sititi sidelined this season. Hooke Codie Taylor also advocates for more sabbaticals to rejuvenate players, a strategy that could shape the squad’s future.
