@bovidae said in All Blacks 2021:

NZR's board, however, were concerned that the review identified that some of the wider coaching team struggled at times to cope with the step up to test rugby and deal with the enormous pressure that comes with being part of the All Blacks.

It's not like Robertson's reported assistants (Ryan and Holland) have prior experience either.

If the ABs coaching position is open in 2021, you can bet that Robertson will be suggesting some more experienced assistants this time.

I withdraw my support for the BoP breakdancer.

Yeeeeaahh. But you know he's kinda good.

Been overlooked because age.

Think he's up there really.

I'd take a punt on 2023 at least.

He's good behind a dominant Crusaders pack ....

@nepia Yeah, doesn't really offer too much with static ball or when his team is going backwards.

With that backline and those reserves, it looks like a team selected by John Hart.

@gt12 LOL at Ethan de Groot. Participation award for NPC players.

[Tim]

@gt12 Even worse is pretending that Savea is a test match player. His level is well below that.

You are not playing around tonight.

[Tim]

@gt12 Neither is a 50% win ratio for the All Blacks. Enough of these Super Rugby heroes who have never produced shit at test level.

[Tim]

Imagine being so fucking dumb that you select Frizzell, Savea, and Barrett, and a hundred other bums, ahead of Papalii and Ioane, and then not understand why England fucking destroy your garbage forward pack.

Imagine riding Graham Henry's coattails and never learning anything about coaching. What a fucking retard, what a fucking bum.

@tim is it noisy at the pub?
