Is Alan Jones still available?
@Stockcar86 Yes, but his answer involves dropping soap in the shower.

@Canes4life Ardie spent most of the game watching

Must be tiring doing all the work. Sititi is complete shit, Kirifi even worse, and Parker made one nice flick pass, rest of the time he was just missing.
The loosies are small and shit.

Rassie = believe the hype

Ruthless bastard who loves winning and turns his players into ruthless winners.
We used to have people like that in the All Blacks coaching set up and management. But not anymore.

Also doesn’t help our “spiritual captain” is bum boys with the captain of our supposed arch nemesis. Ridiculous how soft and friendly this team has become

Five percent of the viewing public thought he was one of the best on field. Is there a mental health crisis in NZ? Ardie had a shit game. He was mostly recognisable for fucking up.

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.

SBW's red card in test 2.
Ground Zero.

Razor between a rock and a hard place now… can’t drop too many players because he absolutely needs to win next game. Does he have a come back in him?

He could be in jail by years end (allegedly)

So might be OK for the end of year tour as an interim coach then

Crazy isn’t it. You can actually pinpoint the exact moment the All Black’s legacy turned.

"Uncle Siya, Uncle Siya".....Ardies daughter was filmed exclaiming.
Ardie Savea shouting "this is my house" after the turnover last week tell you all you need to know.
Like the attempted chip and chase at the end of this game.
Ardie Savea's favourite player is Ardie Savea.
The perfect player for the cult of personality age we live in.
All fur coat and no knickers the lot of them.
McCaw didnt even have social media for most of his career.

From reading Whitelock and Foster's book, Start with the whole board and the comms staff.. NZR seems to have been taken over by ego-centric managers who have completely lost the plot and what's important to NZ rugby
Kirk taking over is a good thing. Businessman who's been around and clearly knows how to build management teams and bring people with him.

I divide my officers into four classes as follows: the clever, the industrious, the lazy, and the stupid. Each officer always possesses two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous.

This has probably been said.
What an absolute disgrace. Biggest loss for the All Blacks in history.
Time for Razor to get the Ian Foster treatment. It is fully justified. No more excuses for him. Never seen an All Blacks team so inconsistent.

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?

Thankfully. May take some time to clean up what seems to be an almighty mess.

Yep all the eggs are in the Robertson basket and he just chucked them all on the floor and stamped on them

I'm struggling to remember watching an AB team give up.
Great "culture" Razor is building.

I’m not expecting to hear anything out of camp after a result like this but if I hear anything worthy of sharing you better believe I’ll be posting it. Will throw it in the 2025 thread if so.
