Sami T has been spotted in a Hamilton gym with no moon boot on and walking freely
I spoke to him last Sat. He is aiming for the EOYT. It was a rupture.

Well that's shit for him & shit for the AB's ball running ability.
I hope Aumua and Taylor stay fit.. the next guy isn't ready

@Bovidae Would be nice if this was announced in the media. Rugby treats it's fans with such contempt

@Bones Not coaches. Mentors. Surely you want your greatest players to pass on their knowledge to those coming through? To help them understand the standards required.
This should be done by the AB leadership group, but that has been gutted in recent years, especially with Smith, Retallick, Whitelock leaving after last WC.
The new leadership group is very green, so until it is less green and can truly lead, bring back into the fold some of those who were integral in setting the standards of the greatest era of AB rugby in the professional era. It can only benefit the new crop of the players to know they have the support and backing of certified legends.
I wonder were our golden generation so obsessed and so focused in their careers that post 2015 they couldn’t be arsed seeing a Rugby ball again.
Carter, McCaw, Conrad et al.
Maybe they completely burned themselves out.
McCaw looked relieved to be walking away from the game. There was no hint of a bank account padding sojourn to Japan or France with him.

Genuine question, it's 2024 why are we even in the comparing Razor and Foster's records, they got nothing to do with each other, Foster was in the 2019-23 threads. They got different teams, play diiferent teams, haven't got same thing going on etc etc. I think we should just look at 2024.
I thought I lived in the past. I look at team and think we haven't had world beating players for a few years now, so we work with what we got. I have lived through these dips with ABs a few times, and only way to keep going is look forward! -

What you can look for is exactly what you look for in teams at any level. Some clarity of a game plan. An idea of how to beat the opposition and play to your strengths.
Hell, I'd say a defensive system that doesnt' ship 38 points at home, forwards who take the ball moving forward, chasers who know when kicks are happening and chase the ball, a lineout where jumpers jump to catch it and so on.
If we play to our potential and get beaten so be it. What shits me is poor selections, poor execution and what appear to be poor gameplans. All the while media are thrashwanking about the ABs and how amazing they are.

the fuck are they going to do? are they suddenly twice the player they were 12 months ago?

I mean, the downward slide (@nostrildamus ) could be a cunning plan from Razor to get his way and bring back his guys (that all signed overseas contracts as soon as he was announced as coach).

Two of the tries weren’t a result of the defensive system, they were down to player error and poor decision.
I’d say the concerning thing was the poor discipline which was more disappointing because it not only shipped points but it had been pretty good against England and Fiji.
