I assume Whitelock was the coach and the break dancing guy was the mascot

[Kirwan]

What a fucking joke. Work with the players you have you muppet.

[Canes4life]

We didn't win the last World Cup with these guys onboard, why are we bringing them back even older than they were before. Trust the guys you have playing in New Zealand Razor. What a crock of shit.

[george33]

@Kirwan totally agree , Razor needs to b in NZ watching super , not fucking around trying to return the past

[Kirwan]

Reeks of a lack of confidence in the players available and his ability as a coach to improve players. Cantablacks looking more likely by the day.

[taniwharugby]

I can understand wanting guys like Whitelock in and around the current crop of locks, but given we have Barrett currently who is vastly experienced, he is the one we should be looking to for bringing in the next generation through, Lord in particular is one I hope is fit and selected.

Frizell is a bit of a myth IMO, while Ryan rated him, this was presumably off the back of trainings and 1 very good game.

Assuming this is fact and not distorted.

@Kirwan won't b aloud to happen, he's been told

How do you know he is not watching Super?

[george33]

He ain't watching it LIVE in NZ

Why does he have to watch it live? Serious question. I bet he has access to a hell of a lot more coverage than we do.

I suppose if one is bothered by how things 'look' then yeah it's probably a better 'look' to be seen at matches. But I wonder how much they actually get from watching from the stands.

[African Monkey]

Lol Frizzell returning. The guy played 33 tests over 6 years and did nothing more than a solid job in the last season or so.

Finau will end up twice the player if given an opportunity.

[george33]

@Crazy-Horse Hope Ur not serious?

Because they usually watch individual players and not the TV Coverage. Should be watching it live.

[SBW1]

LF left at a young age, still plenty of years left for him to play for the ABs.

[Kirwan]

This is what the thought process looks like "Crusaders aren't playing well in NZ, so better pick overseas Crusaders"

[African Monkey]

@SBW1 We have more than enough wingers in this country without needing to bring back Leicester Fai'anganuku, who played a grand total of 7 tests, which included Namibia and Uruguay.

But Sevu is leaving and Ennor is injured. Someone needs to backup McLeod and Springer

[African Monkey]

@Duluth Oh shit sorry I'm in the wrong thread.

[Duluth]

@African-Monkey

Unfortunately it's the right thread

We have an AB coach who doesn't want to coach new players

There's plenty of examples in AB history of an irreplaceable player being replaced. Give new players a chance and do some coaching
