The Silver Fern

Really good drive from Liam.
Speed and maturity and stayed ahead of some serious dudes tonight.

Hope he stays well away from the Spaniard

Yes and what we have hoping to see from Liam.
Knew he had it in him so really happy to see him do what we know he can do.
Go you good thing.

He has been quick all weekend and the fact he did his best time in the dying minutes of Q3 showed some real composure.

Hahahaha love it

We should really fuck him up and name our team on Saturday morning.

Is getting someone in now to replace Razor reasonable? Because their first two years results are pretty similar.

I think Robertson is almost unsackable before the next RWC

NZR won't want to buy out his contract and the media/public seems a lot less critical than previous coaches. Coaches like Hansen and Henry coped more criticism with better results at the same stage

Most of his assistants are very sackable though

Not sure if I have missed something but has there been any comment anywhere at all from the team or NZR since the ABs got back home ?

@Bones

Trundling around in 15th/16th in a car quick enough to be in the top ten is simply not good enough.
LL said it himself, he does not have a lot of time.
Suzuka will decide his fate.

Woohoo LL might even catch Hadjar

Suzuka will now be the make or break race for him.
If he cannot perform there where he has raced before then RB will have to do a swap.

@Victor-Meldrew Could not agree more with this statement.
It has been bloody embarrassing listening to an AB coach pining for a player who knew when he left NZ for Japan that Razor would be the coach.
Just do your job Razor.

@KiwiMurph great to hear a coach speak intelligently and honestly.
So good to have him back home.
Bloody good player and now a bloody good coach.

@taniwharugby This is just getting embarrassing.
Can he please now concentrate on being a bloody coach.

Shouldn’t the team have been named by now ?

10 is now our only real worry

And complacency.

True

10 is now our only real worry

EDG not there I suspect is a fitness issue.
TJP now just a mentor.
Good to see Finau getting more minutes.

What I guessed but seeing that he did a Rassie with naming the Japan team early I had to make sure.
