@Steven-Harris said in England Vs All Blacks:
Damage was done in the first half imo , we needed to put some distance between us and England
BB was just awful , should be his last ever testIt won't be his last under Razor though. Will probably be picked next week. Razor needs to go.

What to make of that. Some will point to Robertson and his coaching staff, but player for player we just aren’t that good. Our basic skills were poor all night, and have been all year. You can’t really blame the coaches for that.
We bemoaned Rieko last year, but his replacement is no better. We bemoaned Beauden, but McKenzie is hardly any better. Without Roigard we are absolutely fucked at the moment.
Injuries have forced us to try different players - and we have - and lone behold they aren’t better than those in front of them.
I don’t think Razor should be sacked, perhaps one or two of his assistants should be, but if we turn up to South Africa with these same players, we will lose 4-0, and I think that would be terminal.
If you sack one or 2 of his assistants that will be 4 assistants gone in 2 years.
Deck Chairs titanic etc.
The buck stops with him. HE knew he was getting the job for ages in advance.
He had loads of time to prep.
Flush the Razor dunny and move on. He is a beaten docket.

Well done England, you didn't do much but you didn't have to.
Credit to Steve Borthwick. Bringing back George Ford was a brave call, but it was rewarded today.

Taylor is the only player from the older generation that is worth his salt. BB, Savea, ALB, Scott Barrett all need to go. Jordie can stay for now.
It’s been 10 years of the same old shit. Zero composure
Beauden Barrett was never composed, even at his peak. Once the juice in his legs went he should have been ushered off to Japan to earn yen for Hannah and co.
5 fucking years ago.

@Canes4life what tough calls??? He should just step down. Thats the only call to make. Worst AB side...the 3 worst performances I have ever seen. No passion...no heart...no gameplan.

A new coach won’t fix our lack of basic skills.
The culture's not right. Where does the buck stop for that?

Where the fuck do we go from here??

England peaking between world cups. Meanwhile containers of dry powder has been discovered at the Port of Auckland.

When we used to be 12-0 down under McCaw id think we were still in it.
When we are ahead by 12 with this mob I think we will still lose.

Is it the weakest AB side of the professional era ? I am tending to think so.
We were worse in 1998.
