I’m all for it if they build a stadium with a roof.

Its all well and good having the odd tongue in cheek tweet, but we ALL need to put our shoulder to the wheel here, Weber, included.
He should be tweeting "fucking unacceptable".

Yeah using the boring old Cake Tin excuse is just shifting the attention to something unimportant.

We've seen the limits of the Canterbury Mates Club. No more needs to be seen. The false dawn of defending the Bledisloe won't change my mind.
What this team lacks is the influence of old school rugby values. Mongrel.
The new age Razor positivity approach is overcomplicated and plain ineffective.
If Razor is not fired at the end of the season, then, at a minimum, he needs old school dissenting voices forced on him

Got to the 30 min mark earlier, then had to go out. A mate messaged me the result so making notes as I go throw. Trying to be measured here.
Intercept try is the old 14 point swing.
Hotham’s self inflicted concussion and Samisoni’s missed tackle on Marx (35mins ish) on the sideline… so poor you couldn’t even call them amateur level. Samisoni then got put on his backside by Wiese because he had his head on the wrong side again.
D-Mac with the unforgivable chip straight to the Boks. That’s a classic ABs of recent years. Under the pump, get decent ball and kick it nowhere.
First try after HT is a consequence of the scrum, nothing more or less…. You think until you watch Wallace Sititi during the play. Have a look.
45 min - Christie gets hit high by Wiese as he collects the ball. Not saying it is or isn’t a pen or YC because he was picking up the ball. But he got hit in the head. Stay the fuck down and force the ref to make the call. Smarten up. This is 2025 ffs. Play went on and ended up with Vaai’s lazy shoulder so they went past it.
48 mins. Wiese takes an obvious liberty with Jordie after the whistle.
52: wrong call from Jordan but well done to the Boks for getting back.
Scrum is main concern during this period. High balls kind of going wrong both ways a bit, but Boks having more of the ball and more accuracy with the kick and chase looks better for them. Can’t even say it’s a back 3 issue. Whole team.
Proctor’s night is over. I kind of feel that this many games in we should be looking at him and thinking ‘he’s good’ but still have no idea.
Boks score again after Jordie gets beaten high then the eventual line out goes wrong.
And then the next one. And the next one. I think we’re starting to realise how good Codie Taylor is.Kwagga’s try just great rugby.
Another high ball…then another one… how old are Cory Jane’s children these days?
It’s one thing to get beat by what you don’t know but they’re getting killed by exactly what they knew was coming. That’s on the coach.
The Boks look like the ABs used to.
I know some of you are pointing figures at some players but this is on Razor. 100%.
Having a different 10 wouldn’t have made a bit. Biggest concern for me was the loosies. Wallace doesn’t look fit and Parker is just kind of there.
The concerns about the coaching mix are justified.
But must remember that the Boks served up some dogswater first up against Oz. They’ve done it the opposite way to the ABs - having the bad game first in both series.
Great for the comp. Nice to play Oz with the outcome seriously in the balance.

It's not like everyone of them are bad players all of a sudden. They look like they have no idea what they're doing, unless they get turnover ball.

@antipodean Jesus Christ, rugby media is so fucking servile and clueless!
This came up on my timeline a week or so ago. - what a load of simpering intellectual masturbation
"What’s striking about Razor’s coaching style is how thoughtfully holistic it is.
Scott Robertson has mastered both rugby tactics and behavioural science. The self-proclaimed visionary lends his creativity to game-breaking attacking schemes and stifling defence. His IQ is impressive and while clearly a cut above the rest, what separates him is his EQ".
The messages that are delivered are carefully crafted to be concise and clear. Robertson’s experience at coaching workshops worldwide – at Saracens, the Brisbane Broncos, the Melbourne Storm, West Ham, the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys to name a few – have all informed and developed this skill.
This one quote sums up his approach perfectly: “I don’t motivate people, I inspire people to be motivated”

God damn, I had to participate in a corporate video recently, where I answered questions like "What does innovation mean to you?" I still couldn't have come up with anything that vacuous.

Try: "Innovation is a gravitorsional concept relating to reducing the cycle error rate is medium scale operational processes"

I know its been said before but they knew exactly what the Boks were bringing but they had no plan B
