Foster, Robertson etc

I thought the scrum looked pretty good. It was everything else that was farking shithouse.
Throwing Cane and some assistants under the bus is disgusting. This whole debacle has been the Foster show and he's the one who should be getting the arse.

To be fair, Sam Cane is a problem as captain if he doesn't command his place in the team anymore - and him getting subbed at the weekend was a bit indicative of that.
Picking Sam Whitelock through to RWC is probably sensible. He's clearly commanding his place and surely will for the next 12 months - I just hope they don't think he has to play every game.
You realise your two sentences are dissonant, right? A captain getting hooked is a problem, but a captain you don't expect to play every game isn't?
Honestly, I'd sonner have Cane for 50-60 min, and then understnad the captaincy transfers. It's modern sport, I can live with it. Far rather that than the shambles we're going to see of dropping Cane for issues outside his control.
England used to do this didn't they with the hooker? And SA with Bismarck if I remember rightly? Hell, name some co-captains; Ardie off the bench FFS.

Yep not unusual for a captain to be hooked at, so we will see.

@nzzp Yeah - I don't think we have any problem with players to play at 7.
If you accept your captain can come off, and you can start Ardie on teh bench, then you have basically cracked the nut.
The issue is still in the tight 5 selections and player development. PLayers are not getting better, and I don't know why.

Agreed. Co-captains or a vice captain.

'I'll tell you what I am. I'm incoherent. I'm pissed'
This makes no sense at all, it's barely English
“Let me tell you who I am, I’m strong, I’m resilient, I think I’ve proven that.
“I believe I’ve got a great feel and relationship with my players. I’m strategic and I’m also accountable and I take that on board.
“I promise you, I understand that and I’m really excited about the chance to show you what this team is made of”

Does he actually know the meaning of the word accountable?

Means the same to him as unacceptable means to Robertson. Nothing, just words to feed the media whilst doing nothing

Minimal change over at Stuff. There's absolutely no way progress can be made.

Would that make Coventry the man in the hot seat at the Blues? He's probably ready.

Schmidt, MacDonald and Ryan is a good combo. Just ignore the other guy
Is this even a thing? I thought Schmidt wasn't even travelling with the team

We are talking post Africa.
Reading between the lines the likes of MacDonald, Ryan coming in (if true) would be post Africa. I'd suggest Schmidt taking a more involved role would happen then too.

I'm not sure they'll be able to get him to travel on tours, but i can live with him helping to reshape the defence from distance.
If they can get Ryan, it would be a very good pickup, but I would have thought both he and Panadol would be members of the Robertson team.
Razor could see himself right fucked if these guys turn it around (OK, I know I'm dreaming).

Would that put Leon in pole position post 2023?
