Just heard a soundbite on the radio about the review, so where there's smoke, there be fire.

It’s a shame things have come to this.
I’m sure both sides have differing stories but at the end of the day the locker room has been lost and that falls on management and coaches.
Tomorrow will be interesting. If I hear anything before hand, I will throw it in here.

@taniwharugby What was it?

We are a laughing stock. But maybe we need to hit rock bottom before things get better. I think Razor's odds of staying are lengthening with articles like this
Or Savea
No one comes out looking good

Sad thing is you are right
There is no doubt if Razor stays Savea can not
Unless Hansons head is the compromise but then Savea runs the ABs either way . -

i get that in general....but....lots of the same players weren't firing under fozzie....so ideally everybloodyone goes and we start from scracth based on merit....but if if i have to keep the old guard of players OR Razor....i think i would give Razor a run without these guys working against him

100 percent agree start from scratch seems the best way but I understand it will not end up that way.

yeah, not going to happen but fun to rant about it
IF it did happen, a full clear out....lots of guys would probably still get in...but make the prove it in super first

Unless Hansons head is the compromise but then Savea runs the ABs either way .I'm okay with Ardie leaving and the coaches all getting fired. BB to assume a largely non-playing ambassadorial role for sponsors

Razor, Hansen, Savea all have to go. Give Jamie Joseph a clean slate without the baggage of these 3. Savea is turning into a brand like SBW giving ultimatums. Too much Savea worshipping by the fans and media has gone into his head. Razor has brought into his own hype too. While these guys are internally fighting, the All Blacks brand is getting tarnished. Player power should be nipped in the bud. Very dangerous times for All Blacks rugby. This is not a time to celebrate, it’s sad. Sad to see the All Blacks in this situation.

The negative feedback is not just from players, but from support staff too.
Sounds like Savea is one of several senior players who is very unhappy with the coaches.

but do we think theyre all unhappy because razor was trying to change things and there were too many people that liked things just as they were regardless of poor results

@Tim and to be fair to Savea, he has played better previously (and done some work) so maybe its the structure they have got him in and the environment that has lead him to giving zero shits (again, Bok test 2 makes more sense now) while having other players struggling with the envionment the cracks that used to be papered over are wide open for all to see
