All Blacks vs Springboks II
-
Second half slumps continue. The days of the ABs running teams down in the last 20 are done. The supposedly “bigger” Boks have finished the last 2 matches (and the 2 last year in SA) with all the momentum.
ABs have no ability to wrest control when they lose it. They play fine when they have control. Saw it against Argentina and now against Boks. Overplaying, poor decision making - call it what you will. But test match pressure is crushing the AB leaders and decision makers. Mistake upon mistake compounds and the pressure rises. Rather than reset and going back to basics, they try for the next Hail Mary….with obvious consequences they don’t work.
This is the nadir of the last few years. Some really big decisions need to be made.

As he should. He’s the All Black coach.

Give it to him Reado

Read is making Razor look like an idiot. Not that it's hard.

Not hugely confident we beat the wallabies
Completely down to the number of injuries in the Oz camp. If they have a fit side I think they roll us.

Hard not to see this debacle as the last will and testament of the disastrous regime of Mark Robinson as CEO of NZR, who departs at the end of this calendar year. In fact, he should be clearing his desk right away. David Kirk, a business head I respect, should bring in a hard arse CEO willing to demand results or else. Razor, I think, is gone. He’s incompetent, utterly found out as a pretender. He’s incoherent, if nothing else and gives no indication that he has any idea whatsoever what he is trying to achieve. That incoherence is felt by the players, who look adrift. The easy decision would be to just f&&k off the assistants, but I think the pattern of these performances stems from a lack of coherent direction from the top. In short, he’s an idiot, a provincial showboater promoted way beyond his ability.

He's an utter shit. A total and utter fucking shit.

Haha. He’s a sycophant. Part of the problem.

If they get rid of Roberston and Holland I fully expect Mark Robinson to replace them with Rob Penny and Matt Todd
Robertson is Robinson's boy. Too much invested in him.

Isn't Robinson leaving?

Look out, here comes some ‘insight’ from Mils and Reado
At least Kieran stated the obvious: there's something wrong when the spine of an All Blacks team turns to jelly.

Exactly right. S Barrett, B Barrett, Savea are spineless morons who don’t have a tactical bone in their bodies

@ACT-Crusader The new Clyde Rathbone?

Ethan Hooker. He attacked the line and competed in the air.

I will even take Foster at this stage. Joseph over Razor any day.

When the coach is naming some players to throw them under the bus in the post-match interview it is time for him to walk away

@Victor-Meldrew Yes, you’re right. Robertson was Robinson’s decision. But Robinson is a dead man walking, his contract up at the end of the year, which I think makes it almost certain that Robertson will have to walk the plank as well.

Wow, Razor looks clueless. Laura lobbing him soft balls.

TBF, he was captain of the ABs when the legacy started being trashed ... this rot started under him and Hansen.
