@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 the Crusaders dynasty taught us about Scott Robertson
The Crusaders lost one title during Scott Robertson's time at the helm: The Super Rugby Trans-Tasman title in 2021.
"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.

If his press conferences are anything to go by..... -

Cracking start to the day
What weird filter did you use on this image? Turned your beer clear.
Actually - that’s fucking genius Mike. Perfect for wish you were here snaps for the missus.

Great for the comp. Nice to play Oz with the outcome seriously in the balance.
God no. Much preferred it when we were destroying teams.

I know its been said before but they knew exactly what the Boks were bringing but they had no plan B
-
What a disgrace. I am ashamed to be honest. Where the fuck is the passion?
SB is no captain and if they do not get rid of the backs coach or find a decent play maker then then we are fucked.What was the game plan. We need a new 10 because for mine BB and D MAC haven't got a clue.. Razor must be on thin ice !!
I am so fucking angry I can,t even think strait. All I know is if we do not make some serious changes, more embarrassment will follow. What a total shit show !!
-
@mencey Spot on. A terrible day for those of us who want the Black Jersey to be feared and respected.
Just embarrassing to see some of the side give up.
The coaches, players and senior administrators involved in that performance should be utterly ashamed.

Beauden is a poison every coach gets sucked into.
Forwards made to look like bunnies
Its really nothing personal, and it sounds like a vendetta from some of us against him.
He was one of my favourite players.
But the guy has to be put out of his misery.
140 caps.
It beggars belief.
Totally agree. Loved BB in his prime but he should now take the money up North. Lets be honest, since Carter left, we haven't had a consistently good 10.

Think they were smashed into submission. I remember seeing very good/legendary Boks like Etzebeth reduced to WTF moments when they lost 57-0. Nothing worked that day for the Boks and everything worked for NZ. A week (or two?) later they narrowly lost to NZ in SA.
The main issue with NZ is the game plan is just not conducive to consistent performance. The up/down performances and continual poor performances in second halves leave major questions for Robertson.
The kicking game worked in the first half, but it stopped working in the second half and just gave ball back to the Boks. When you can’t catch, can’t win lineouts and are giving away penalties and territory away at the scrum, any errors crank the pressure up.
Test matches are pressure cookers. It needs cool heads and leadership to slow things down and get some momentum. Too many AB leaders are looking for the high risk play, which when they come off look great. But when they don’t, it gives the opponent a lift and cranks that pressure up another notch.
What today showed is that the Bok management are able to lift their players performance at half-time. Robertson and his management might want to leave the players out on the pitch in future if their half-time impact is anything to go by.
Robertson is massively under pressure. Lose the Bledisloe and he won’t be around to play Mo’unga when he returns.

Robertson should have got the gig in 2020 when he had his QB in Mo'unga.
Mo'unga leaving in 23 knowing Daddy was getting the keys to the castle was alarming in and of itself.

He'll be there until the EOYT I suspect. He seems to be Robinson's pet project and if he goes, it will be when he steps down.

TBF the Boks were brilliant.
Pretty difficult to survive against that scrum and brilliance in the air but.
Holland needs to start he's a source of ball.
Need Roigard.
BB is not the answer at 10.
Love needs to start.
SB good player but not captaincy.
Razor has to make the tough calls. -
@reprobate said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:
Christie would be nowhere near the side if not for a really rough run of injuries. I'd prefer Fakatava, but him I can cut Robertson some slack for him
It's bloody embarrassing to think that a 4th-string player (admittedly playing his heart out) didn't look all that out of place

@Jet said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:
Springboks looked fitter than us too.
After all their early injuries, I expected their bench to be gassed late in the game, but they finished far stronger than us
Easier when yo-yo,ay with the ball.
