Oh no! According to @Chris, Wayne Smith is the reason why Razor has departed from his successful Crusaders game plan and the backline is now dogshit.

The best solution to NZ Rugby seems to be to sack everyone and appoint Wayne Smith.
He is a failure as an administrator (HB CEO) and as an AB head coach
He was a pretty good coach for the Black Ferns (12 wins in a row I think?), Crusaders and Chiefs.. oh and Northampton Saints + Kobe Steelers Director of Rugby..

Nika Amashukeli World Rugbys new favourites son will officiate Saturday nights test with a 40% chance of precipitation being around can’t see this test being anything but a grind and the Springboks to break the Eden Park record
I ran into the Springboks at Trust Stadium in West Auckland after their training on Tuesday fair to say they are massive humans got a few pics with them
Even Kolisi who looks shorter on TV is 6’3 and Malcom Marx who was standing
in the picture is 6’3 ..PSDT is from the scale on my pic looks around 6’5 to 6’6 and Eban Etzebeth is just a giant at 6;7
PSDT was telling me he’s actually lost weight in the last year really nice fella he said RG Snyman was the tallest in the squad at 6’9
Quagga Smith is not overly tall under 6ft but great body mass ..
Rassie looks super chilled and looks to have a great synergy with his players
Boks have their last training at Trust stadium in Waitakere this afternoon for anyone who lives or works nearby -

What time?
-
Wayne Smith is effectively a consultant/coach for the coaches - this was well telegraphed when Razor signed. He does the same with the Black ferns.
Also, I’m not hearing Preston is injured. Sounds like a minor knock at training today but overblown by the media.

An insect bite/cut according to TV3 news last night. Sounds serious.

That deserved so much more love. Some people need to review their Python ( nudge, nudge, wink, wink say no more).

@Tordah apologies it’s Karl Dickson who will officiate Saturdays test
Unfortunately Amashukeli will be one of the ARs but I agree about your sentiments about the Georgian referee..there’s an arrogance about the guy -
