Have the All Blacks come to the end of an era?

One NZ Herald rugby writer says that a great All Blacks era has come to an end.

The All Blacks lost against the Wallabies on Saturday night, in a test that was blighted by red and yellow cards being dished out on both sides. 

Rugby writer Gregor Paul joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to discuss what happen, after slamming the team in a piece after the loss.

"If it feels that the team are struggling to win with the same conviction and regularity as they used to, it's because they are.

"If it feels like the decline began after the All Blacks lost an entirely winnable test against South Africa in 2018, it's because it did.

"The numbers produced in the last 20 tests are confirming what has been apparent for the better part of two years now – which is that the All Blacks are experiencing a slow erosion of greatness."
