@Chris technically I suppose depending on how you define senior. Any of Lomax, Tungafasi and Tuipolotu are technically senior all blacks though all three have spent more time out of camp due to injury than out of it.
I suppose if any of Groota (Who I could see being pissed off if there’s inconsistency in punishments), Vaii, Clarke or Big Samisoni are kicking up a fuss than you’d think that would carry some weight too given they’ve all been around five seasons or more.
You’d have to think ALB & Reiko are both with Savea on this one too. Doubt Christie is speaking highly of his treatment too. That could be your four players. Maybe throw in Papalii & possibly Groota into the mix as having legitimate concerns and the deck starts looking uncomfortable for Razor. Though by no means impossible.
The real tipping point is if you get a few more players willing to join them. It would only take a few more voices of dissension to make it untenable for Razor or Hansen.
Wasn't the rumour that Paps preferred to stay with XV than play Welsh?

Unless a few players are axed as well, this will be for absolutely nothing
If the problem was Robertson losing the dressing room, then that's down to him and him alone. Winning the respect of the players is pretty basic for a head coach.
So it's Hansen's fault then.

Don’t worry everyone, Ardie and best blues squad of the last 100 years will come and save the day.
We’re still fucked
Well I expect the Blues to win the title this year and go with Jamie Joseph to teach South Africa a lesson during this years tour. That’s the most likely thing to happen isn’t it
Haha. Classic butthurt comments. I expect the new coach to be fair in selection, and straight up when dealing with players. That would be a good start

is there a chance it was only a rumour on monday and the Fern has minisfested it into reality?
Let's turn our minds to fixing WR in another thread.
-
@Victor-Meldrew so much shit has gone on under Robinsons watch, Kirk trying to re-build what was probably the best over-acheiving sports team about.

@game_film said in All Blacks 2026:
I’m genuinely excited for Razor’s next move. Will he fade away into some consultancy job or turn up at Twickers with a Henry Pollock haircut?
A second career as Raygun's dancing partner.

I’m not butthurt at all. I agree he had to go. But unless 5-6 other people go with him then it’s all for nothing. Unless it’s a decent coach that has tier one experience and more than one super rugby title, it’s for nothing. If Savea appears at 7 and Beuaden at 10 in the first game, what was the point? If the backs still can’t catch a high ball, what’s the point? Etc etc. thinking this solves everything is fucking stupid

Well, Kirk doesn't seem to fuck about. Clearly believes in lancing the boil.
-
@taniwharugby Which shows how bad the feedback had to have been. The players aren’t making the decisions. That’s what David Kirk is paid to do. And, thankfully, he has done so.

It's a start. I agree the new team have to be allowed to clean out the squad big time. And go back to basics

@Victor-Meldrew Keven Mealamu was huge in this also.

Well the story was Richie M would save the day. And we just need the Blues loosies from 22 June 2024. It wasn't that long ago.

@Chris said in All Blacks 2026:
if Razor is gone sacked on player power.The next coach has a hell of a job as he will be run by the Senior players
That is a disaster the tail wagging the dog has never worked what happens if the players dont like the next coach.
Looks like the players are going to coach themselves and are untouchable, selections become a closed shop on their say so no mates getting dropped at any time.Certain players will be bigger than the game that should never happen.
Player Power brings a lot of teams down and they never come back.
If certain players are not sent packing with the coaches NZR are on a dog lead on certain players whims.He's been sacked becauses he's the worst All Black coach of the professional era.
All vibes and no substance. And a shit "haircut".
I'd love to see your haircut.
I have sneaking suspicion you are one of those bald guys who is jealous of everyone who has hair.
I support sacking the coaching team BTW.. Agree with your point there.

The kind of assumption that Razor et al would be proud of

forget the paywall they probably grabbed it from https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/sport/all-blacks-coach-scott-robertson-set-to-be-axed-reports/
interesting the Irish newspapers are so quick to sniff this out...

Well you tell me why a coach with one season with a positive points differential in his entire career outside of NPC would be the solution without his obviously superior “side kick” doing the heavy lifting?

Mark Robinson was clearly a moron from day one.
Should be investigated for massive breaches of his fiduciary duties.
