Who is the AB skills coach now? Hansen, Holland and Ellison don't inspire confidence.
There isn't a specific skills coach I believe, and hasn't been since Mick Byrne.
Just a bunch of guys who seemingly do similar things sort of, without clear defined roles. Typical middle management strategy

It does appear from the outside looking in razor has made a similar mistake to fozzy , surrounded himself with a bunch of assistants who are super rugby level and who don’t really cut it at international level .
It’s starting to feel very dejavu

not quite. when foster got job there was a fight for assistant plus the timing meant some grabbed jobs elsewhere because there was no guarantee that foster was going to get job.
robertson got a free swing , appointed well in advance and could have anyone who he wanted (assuming they wanted to work with him) -
@ploughboy i thought others went elsewhere because the appointment of Foster seemed inevitable.

@taniwharugby was addressing assistants

Apologies if it’s been posted already but this did not make for good reading. Two worst ever this year. We need a new defensive coach.
It's all good according to Tamati. Nothing to worry about.
All Blacks’ defence coach talks record-setting defensive struggles
The All Blacks have claimed yet more unwanted history with their 43-10 defeat to the Springboks, but don't slot the record books back onto the shelf just yet, because more looks to be on the way.

Which was my point. David Hill was used as a kicking specialist under Hansen and Foster. Now they must be relying on one of the assistants I mentioned as a backs skills coach.

Saw a clip of one of Kolbe's try, the one that came off Siya's huge bust.
This came form set-peice where again, we got monstered, but what was tellign was how slow our loosies all were in reacting and getting.
Parker & Sititi would have been turned toward the short blind so can expect them to be slower to get back into defence, but Ardie looked knackered and moving so slowly, he was a good 15-20m away from Siya when he was finally tackled.
-
@taniwharugby when you getting monstered at set piece like we were, the loosie are generally slow coming off side of scrum, because they are trying to hold scrum. Tends to take a few seconds to react when you concentrating on trying to use your energy to hold your weight.

So Caleb Tangitau got dropped from the Auckland 23 because Razor had a wee cry that Clarke and Ioane weren’t in it? Or is he injured again? Poor guy.

How the fuck would that work Caleb Tangitau could have played on the right wing Reiko at centre doesn't effect if he plays or not., and Clarke always plays left wing Tangitau always a right wing.Dumb post you are shooting from the hip with no knowledge.

The original Auckland side was a copy and paste from last weekend. They had injuries and released the real side today. The ABs are not the only changes

@No-Quarter he did say they had worked hard on it, but one assumes whatever they are doing, aint up to it.
The only footage I've seen of them practising is jumping above someone wearing a mattress on their back or someone else waving some pool noodles in their face.

That's some disturbing reading. I feel I'm being gaslight as my eyes tell me whatever Ellison is saying clearly isn't working.

@Chris The reason I asked was because I had no knowledge of why he was left out. Just a question bro no need to get too salty about it.
Otherwise it sucks that he’s injured again, hope it’s nothing serious.
