All Blacks vs Springboks II
-
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.
-
Hard to fathom for most of you after such a drubbing but better decisions and ball retention and this match is very, very different
The game plan is a far bigger problem than cattle
-
Wow, Razor looks clueless. Laura lobbing him soft balls.

Razor looks like he’s going to cry
The weight of a nation [and the incisive criticism of the Fern]

Give it to him Reado
Haha. He’s a sycophant. Part of the problem.
Yeah, but that’s about as hardball as I’ve ever seen Read
His legacy is being trashed. He’s angry
TBF, he was captain of the ABs when the legacy started being trashed ... this rot started under him and Hansen.

Only Roigard and Higgins can save us now
Love your irony.
I don’t have answers. I don’t know where to go from here.
Perhaps look for problems beyond the coaching staff.? Stop believing in magic solutions?
Schmidt, Enoka and others you have to respect, have pointed the finger firmly at NZR . Hopefully the new blood will improve things

Major problem tonight was the game plan.
I barely remember us using our forwards. It was all pass it deeper and deeper to a backline who were static. Or some type of retarded kick that will come off once in a blue moon.
BB is cooked, let’s get DMac in there and start using his superior passing game. And blood a couple of young 10’s who’s first instinct isn’t to kick the ball away.
We’ve picked big bodies in the forwards, so why can’t we use them properly. Let’s get them crashing onto the ball at full pace instead of getting it flat footed.
Watching SA running onto the ball into space was great to watch, reminds me of what we used to do many moons ago.
Some honesty from those in charge would be nice too. Fuck off with your bullshit and tell it how it is, we sucked and we sucked fucking badly.
First problem to solve is find wingers who can catch a god damn box kick, or find someone who can teach us very quickly. All of their momentum came from catching kicks.
And fuck that stupid stadium, why do we keep playing there?

Will be interesting to see what line Gregor Paul runs with in the Herald. The media could turn hard on this idiot failure.
I predict a savaging. Too much woke bollocks. Needs some honesty and accountability. Feelings will get hurt.

If they don't move the coaches on we can forget about 2027
We need some Rassie or Eddie Jones treatment in our environment.
Its way too nice.
Everyone needs to be made feel really uncomfortable.
We need some scapegoats, some training ground bust ups, some job losses, some people being called out publicly for being shithouse in podcasts etc.
We have deified shit coaches and shit players.
From the boardroom to the coaching box to the telly to the terraces.
This has been enabled by systemic cowardice on and off the field.

The apathy for the utter shit results is worse than the actual results. At least the posters here seem to care.

Read was a great player who never should have been captain. But he’s nowhere near being responsible for any of this trash.

He looks like that every week in fairness

Is Alan Jones still available?

New coaches, and pick the best players in the country.
And a new captain please.
I think he needs to step down. Great player, but struggles with the armband.
