    Rieko has already learned to pass anyway.

    Progress.

    Oh we need another coach to learn how not kick the ball away aimlessly.

    This reads like Razor trying to get ahead of any more serious changes being made.

    We were bad at this under Foster, anyone could tell that from the couch.
    It takes a professional coach 2 full seasons to realise it needs to be fixed?

    The All Blacks’ kicking out of hand has been found wanting at times this year

    At times....id say most of the time

    @reprobate Every Silverfern Match thread for a long time has been pointing out how bad our kicking from hand has been and more recently how passive how defence is.

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the obvious flaws in the AB's game.

    Is my prediction of Cory Jane as high ball coach going to materialize? He's already been with the All Black XV team for the last two season & made a big impact - surely he's the obvious candidate?

    Reminds me of the old adage of "A Camel is a Horse designed by committee".

    Bring back Room Raiders.

    Loves a Fizzy does our Cory.

    Just said to Mrs, we will book Wellington for July, I really don't do Eden Park as I gone right off Auckland as a place to go, and kind of feel similar about Chch (not quite as strongly though)

    4 home tests out of 17.

    I, for one, welcome our new Silver Lake overlords.

    @nzzp To be fair, I guess if we want to return to the old days of proper tours, we have to accept big chunks of away games.

    Presumably, we'll get a quid pro quo vs SA touring here in (2029?).

    It's a pretty brutal season, though - if the wheels really came off there's a dozen lose-able games in that schedule.

    Aust has two games in Arg, but the Pumas don't play SA either. That's due to the SA-NZ series.

    Next season looks really really ominous.

    I have haka fatigue, social media fatigue, learnings fatigue already.

    Not sure I can take a full tour of them fellating the Springboks on their socials and giving uncle Siya reacharounds in the sheds.

    I want to see people getting their heads caved in.

    Bring back the biff.
