Jesus Christ, what a shitshow.
Still, I hope we go to SA and fucking dick them in their own back yard two tests in a row and send them into disarray as well.

Yep, that would be a great set of results and wonderful carnage to inflict on the Springboks too.

A typically uninspiring team from a typically uninspiring coach.
The only way that could have been worse was if bridge and enfor somehow joined.

@Chris-B Richie is not test level. The sooner DMac is available, I'd bring him in for Mo'unga on the bench.

@Chris-B Well obviously lol, that's usually what forums are for......
I know it's hard to accept as he's had massive success for your mighty Crusaders in a competition that is equivalent to the Scottish Soccer Premiership in terms of quality, but he's had about 35 tests now and has not succeeded. Time to move on (which they obviously won't).

Perhaps initially Ryan will just be given the scrum remit - or Ryan will take over a lot of what Plumtree is doing.
Incidentally I imagine Schmidt will take over a lot of the defence from McLeod
-
Given Ryan is in the Robertson camp I think that, if this is true, a further change is coming sooner rather than later.

Richie's got a few blots on his copybook.
Perhaps the worst is his record against Ireland, where he's played 6 and lost 4.
Interestingly though, he came off the bench in five of those games and the most convincing victory was the only one he started - the RWC QF that we won.
I'm not sure he's that good coming off the bench.

So where are the bodies swinging from lamposts after a historically bad AB run culminating in us rolling over vs Ireland?

Didn’t they already bring in Cron ?

Cron came in in an emergency situation before Test 1 only due to covid (Ryan was with Fiji for the Pacific Nations Cup)
Cron is helping coach the Black Ferns.

The problem is not really the squad and its players, it is the coaching staff and its approach. Look at the Chiefs forwards who will be in the plane to SA : they were immense in the semi final vs the Crusaders but looked completely lost in the 2nd and 3rd tests against Ireland. Look at the selection for the 2nd test with 3 "7s" in the back row. Tactically, it was a disaster. Defense is crap, attack is crap, even with front foot ball. Have you watched Ireland or France attacks ? Their backs come from deep, at top speed, with lots of decoys, while the NZ backs stand flat and motionless. I don't think all this could be fixed with Foster, Plumtree, Feek, Mooar and McLeod.
Don't you love PR speak.
