Rassie took over in 2018 and won the RWC one year later.

I understand that, but I go to concerts still, and beer isn't great. Mates that go to cricket reckon they don't get great beer either. What sports etc do you go to that has really good beer etc? Genuinely interested
Canberra. The only redeeming feature of the shithole stadium.

do you get Crankshafts at the footy?
I get Balter at the Taipans which i am happy about.
Pretty sure you can get Stone & Wood at the Lions
-
You can have both Capitol Brewing and Bentspoke. Bentspoke have invested considerably in rugby in Canberra - they sponsor the John I Dent comp.
My old local (Vikings) we'd smash pints of Balters at half price during happy hour (4-6). Great time to be alive!

Not saying I'm a supporter of Razor - far from it infact, but I too, would be surprised if he went before the 2027 RWC.
He has a hell of a 2026 season to try and negotiate first.
True. Really is make or break for him.
I'm going over to SA for two tests of the tour next year. There better be an improvement or I might do a van Zyl into the coaching box.

Fuck drinking at games, or concerts, or anything like that. I'll have to go to the pisser all the time and end up missing good chunks of what I paid to see and pissing off those seated near me when I am up and down all the time.
-
Im concerned at how little I care anymore.....
This team used to be my life, on season and off season.
im not sure if its my age, or the general malaise of the jersey but Im really disconnected.
I used to buy every shirt, trackie top, plan annual leave around games etc....
Now ill sleep through a game if its on at an unsuitable time.
Maybe I climbed my Everest in 2011 and 2015 (in my 30's) and now as a 41 year old fan I am in a zen denial or acceptance phase.

Who is going to want to take over the team 1 year out from the WC
He was very reluctant though
and be judged on that
SmithyNot sure he wants to ever be judged on being an AB head coach.
Unfortunately!
Seems to me we have at least two good coaches who don't want or can't be head coach (Smith, Schmidt). -
I'm not so engaged at the on-field level; mainly from the way the game presents as a spectacle at test match level.
Seldom/never watch a game right thru on a screen these days.But far more engaged in what is happening off-field.
Fascinating to see in the next few seasons if NZ can maintain their position at the top of the elite part of the game.
Was just rolling along for years, maybe decades; but starting to get a lot more difficult now.
Which makes it extra interesting to me. -

Fuck being sober at games, or concerts, or anything like that.
There is always plenty of injury outages, or other filler bullshit, for quick pisser breaks
(BTW - I always gets seats at the very ends of rows, so pisser breaks are quick, easy, and minimal pissing off others when I am up and down all the time) -

That's one of the great things about the Millennium Stadium (or whatever it's called these days). The loos are situated so you can have a quick piss and be back in your seat quickly
