I've gone from not caring about the next ABs game because the same old shit is going to get trotted out, to being excited again. Fuck yeah David Kirk.
Yep, last year must have been the first AB's northern hemisphere tour that I just didn't care in the slightest about. Which was scary.
Back in business.

@W32 although you'd have to think he is enjoying his role currently, so probably isnt that simple....obviously IF JJ is to be the AB coach, we know that those 2 have worked together and want to do so...didnt Brown turn down Fozzie, stating he only wanted to coach the ABs with JJ?
If he does, Brown gots to love a challenge, cos there is a mountain to climb for the ABS
Yeah you would have to think he’s enjoying the success of the boks and him having a part in it. But, he's a kiwi and his heart will be in NZ with the ABs as it should be.
Game on, the quarter final of the next WC is going to be unreal -

Interesting comment by Sam Casey on SENZ: the constant talk by Robertson about overseas based players really pissed off the squad.
Good fucking job too, that was a moronic and stupid thing to say and he was rightly getting bagged on here by a few for it.
Remember this embarassing shit?

I hope we see selection changes and a gameplan out of this.
Imagine if we see the same selections and the same problems.im preparing myself for that, if we see bb doing a cross field kick to savea inside our own 22 again i will have to believe it wasnt the coach

Yet last night was the first time I’ve heard him admit that things are “not good” and “quite a shambles” in the camp. He specifically highlighted high performance as a “real problem”. Now bear in mind, it’s not much. But to me, the fact that someone I’ve known for years, who’s well connected to staff, is breaking ranks to admit there are problems is significant. Even in the darkest days of Foster, that never happened. In fact, he refused to comment during the period when Foster’s job was on the line. To me, that suggests the issue is much deeper than just the players.
Haha
I'm a million miles from the "camp" and can see that HP is not good/shambles/problem.
All the black teams are crap.To be in the middle of it like your mate . . . uuugh.

Beauden Barrett is Harold Shipman for Allblack coaches. He gets them all in the end.
The siren song of those double pumps and cross field kicks is the downfall of many a good man.

I have been walking around with a spring in my step today. Mrs Crazy is in for one hell of a treat when she gets home.

Gutted for Razor personally, but sounds like the right call based on the feedback. Will be some interesting international phone calls going on right now.

This was cringy and embarrassing to start with, it looks infinitely worse now.

The best thing about today is that I can now rest safe in the knowledge that I know my rugby.
All my ranting and raving was spot on , and it just took the chattering classes and officialdom a while to catch up.
If the first training session under the new regime doesn’t include whips, cudgels, blasphemy and furrowed brows you will be in here calling for heads to roll.
