    He got some bits right

    I won’t go as far as saying the All Blacks’ backs stink, but it’s not far off.

    I’m assuming he (razor) intentionally talks gibberish in a quest to give the public and media nothing.

    Guru is better than expert, right?

      look at the way he writes. That level of undeserved arrogance can never be dented.

          Anyone that still wants BB at 10 isn't a serious analyst of the game. A fair weather fan at best, someone that knows he has won POTY in the past so thinks he's awesome, and hasn't been watching rugby closely for at least 4 years. It's actually gotta be close to being a parody, he sights our best performance of the year against Ireland and says it was "despite not having BB at 10". Like surely the penny would drop after making a statement like that, but apparently not.

            Problem is DMac isn't the answer either, and no one else got a look in - self fulfilling prophecy for Mo'unga, Razor playing the long game

              I found it funny how he said best game of the year was Ireland and yet where was BB?

                    @booboo it is a post RWC year and interesting to note the positions used most, combined with the "problem areas".

                      Long time listener, first time caller 😊

                      This season hasn’t surprised me at all, I’ve been a part of the local rugby scene in Chch for a number of years….. and have had a few dealings with both Razor and Jase Ryan.

                      Razor has no interest in building depth past the next world cup, he’s all about his own legacy and wants to win the world cup with NZ and then go and win it with England or someone else. Becoming the first coach to win it with 2 different countries.

                      Rightly or wrongly, he thinks picking all the old blokes is the way to do it.

                      Jason Ryan is a bit of a prick and hates Hoskins Sotutu.
                      Jason is very good at holding grudges. There’s a number of people around the traps down here that have been cut off by for disagreeing with him (or just not giving him the accolades he thinks he deserves).

                      Despite the above, I am still glad we have these guys and not Foster.

                      Can’t believe this got 17 upvotes. Sounds like an old guy ranting in a pub. Have you got any substance to your claims? Or is “being part of the local club scene” all the proof that’s needed.

                      I'd rather be the old bloke in a pub than a 13 year old girl whinging on social media because a post she doesn't like got 17 likes.

                            It's not overly surprising given how conservative Fozzie was. The idea this year was that we'd get an innovative coach that would rock the boat a bit and try new players and game plans, but instead we got a poor mans Fozzie with strong provincial bias thrown in.

                              Razor's got little wiggle room for me now. No more old timers' days, teacher's pets and cantablacks v2.0, and no more pining for wantaway players.
                              Time to pick on a combination of form and runs on the board, time to be bold and build a strong young team ready to fight for Bill in 2027

                                Let's not re-write history. He is not a poor man's Fozzie. Fozzie was AWFUL. This is a step up from that.

                                  @frugby possibly, some of the Fozzie years were pretty dark, but the provincial bias from these coaches has meant our squad has been a lot weaker in an area that we got outplayed in all year, so that's a pretty strong black mark.

                                    Fozzie had less provincial bias IMHO, his problem was being too close to the squad he played favourites far too much, and changes were generally forced on him through injury. Razor has provincial bias and he's also holding onto the old guard from the previous tenure. The worst of both worlds

                                        @frugby possibly, some of the Fozzie years were pretty dark, but the provincial bias from these coaches has meant our squad has been a lot weaker in an area that we got outplayed in all year, so that's a pretty strong black mark.

                                        Agree, too many Chiefs loosies for sure.

                                          Fuck you for making me read that!

                                          Also - in addition to the nonsense you’ve already pointed out, you didn’t mention the claims that SB is a great captain and that we will be even better once Ethan returns

                                          Holy fuck, that article is next level in terms of fucked up bullshit observations

                                          I don’t say this lightly, but that man is too stupid to even contribute to the Fern
