V BOP

[kev]

How was that not a knock on by BOP way back on half way. Crap.

[Chiefy]

Keep the updates coming Kev - this isn't on Sky UK so couldn't record it to watch later. Any updates would be brilliant!

[kev]

And that was off our foot. Shit

[kev]

It is 40 - 18 to BOP and we have played poorly

[taniwharugby]

FFS...more reminiscient of last year

[Chiefy]

Bloody hell the updates I was getting from NZ must be delayed! That's terrible

[kev]

45 - 18 from soft intercept. FFS this team is lacking direction.

52-18 no comment

[taniwharugby]

I think we started on the wrong foot with the rotation.

Very disappointing, but not at all surprising.

[kev]

Are we the dumbest team on earth. Why not scrum when you finally have put your best props on?

[taniwharugby]

we certainly seem to make far too many poor decisions.

[kev]

The pain is over and the review begins. This was our test match, we failed miserably. Only once we put the reserves on did we look ok.

Was Kara Pryor injured? He looked off.

Holy hell.
Pretty pleased I was busy this evening.

I can't see where a win is going to come from this year.

[taniwharugby]

worse still, the Warriors arent even playing this weekend to make ourselves feel better

Hope BOP fans appreciate what we did for them today!

[antipodean]

Was the intent to provide everyone with an opportunity to start?

[kev]

We are so much better than this. That's why I am disappointed.

[taniwharugby]

side has had some very good moments, far outweighed by average skills and dumb decisions, but I also think the coaches have made some very odd substitutions (both starting and during the games)

Oh well, time to go have a big f-off glass of whiskey and look forward to the test!

[Chiefy]

I obviously didn't watch the game but would have to think this result might have done a fair bit of damage to the coaches chances of retaining their positions given the winless streak we're currently on. We had a lot more experience than BoP, it was a must win game and we got thrashed.

[Gunner]

@Chiefy yep, the coaches are gone, they have to be.

Rugby at this level is a business, and and consistent failure like this is unacceptable.

Time to start the hunt for a new coach, preferably one with a proven track record.

[taniwharugby]

I thought we had been making inching progress in our first 4 games, with a bit of luck, reckon we cold have won 3 of our first 4...but that was woeful.

I dont think we can say they are done just yet, I am a firm believer that a coach really needs 3 seasons to really make his mark, but unless we win in from here, I think there is no point persisting for another season, win/loss ratio will be abysmal.

Problem is, who would take over?

Fuck is about all I wanna say any more on that, fuckity, fuckity, fuck, fuck!
