    When has SBW ever made "a tangible and significant difference to the way the All Blacks play"?

    The most important off the top of my head was the semi in 2015 against SA. He came on, bent the line, ran hard and smashed people. Really made a difference in a very tight game

    @nzzp Performing well (or badly) in one or a few specific games is not the same as making "a tangible and significant difference to the way the ABs play".

      Changed world rugby with his offloading skills. There's that 🙂

      Also - ask the saffers about him. He seemed to play really well, and (like LIam Messam) they generally seemed to consider him god-like and couldn't believe he wasn't starting all the time

          Not sure if it is the right thread but Ronan O'Gara should join the French coaching team for the RWC.

            Sorry cg but do you mean "is likely to" rather than "would benefit if he did"?

            You have a sauce?

              Rugbyrama. He and Fabien Galthie are likely to join the coaching staff. I don't know whether they have been signed or if it's just a rumour.

                        That makes the RWC midfield selections easier 😉

                              No, it’s all true. I read it on a reputable rugby site from Stephen Jones. I can’t seem to find it now but if you google “Poaching Kiwi Bastards”, I’m fairly sure you’ll find it.
