Razor would want his own team so quite a cost.

So pay it. It's costs more to keep these clowns on to further tarnish the ABs.

Time for Schmidt.

Conveniently his AB contract starts right now

Caretaker only.
This job belongs to Razor.

It's not just foster though. Razor would want his own team so quite a cost.

Money isn't an issue surely with the Silver lake lucre swilling around.

No Quarter

Must feel so sweet for Sexton after he missed that kick in the game Coles scored at the death to win. It would be an absolute travesty if he was to ever buy his own beer again in Ireland. What a player.

Duluth

Akira second top tackler for the ABs
Most run metres of any forward on the field

Good effort after a few weeks out with an injury

Will Jordan only person that can walk off that field holding his head high

Thought BBBR was also leading the way before he had to leave

To all those jerking off about Origin 3 this Test Series blows it out of the water

Had it all

Yeah. Even a stoppage to allow a guy to tighten his sprigs

Frank

I don't fuckin care if Razor picks the Cantablacks initially.
I just want to see a coherent and unified gameplan that the players are fully committed to.

Tight 5 are fucked

Yes. Always surprised how much chat there is about other positions. The shit starts there

Need to clear out a few fatties. Starting with Taylor

I mean we dropped ST out of the entire 23 despite being our best tight 5 player? Yeah the tight 5 are stinking up the joint but this 100% comes back to the coaches. We have good enough forwards to lay a platform for the likes of Rieko and Jordan but our players are playing like they have absolutely no idea what the gameplan is, just like the Chiefs used to.

How on earth did ST get dropped. Maybe Coles comes onto the bench but it's for Taylor.

They went for combos. It didn't work.

Nevorian

Fuck I hope England win

Razor will sort that out.

Changing culture doesn't come from the top - it has to come from the players themselves.

It does when they are dropped.

Just dropping players won't improve the culture - unless you want one of fear which never works.

I can't ever remember being this disappointed as an AB supporter. 1998?

Agree. But this is NZR

LABCAT

Two questions:

why didn't the AB's take the three towards the end? This is test match rugby not super rugby!
would Aki be AB's 12 now if he had stayed in NZ?

These players didn't get shit overnight. They can be improved

Players need support. This team could do with a Crusaders style system in place, that simplifies decision making. Because they can't make good decisions by themselves

ANY system would be an improvement.

Luigi

Great game to watch. NZ response at the beginning of the 2nd half was classically ominous, but Ireland have played the ABs often enough recently to withstand. Tadgh Beirne was huuuuuuge.

number9

We scored no tries off set piece or any structure all opportunitistic tries. Poor.coaching.

Picked Ireland England SA today. Sadly ⅓ so far.

I'm one from 4, England, SA, Scotland next

Yep, once again, not just the loss. It's the lack of anything coherent as a team that makes it so annoying. You can see we have some stellar individuals (among with some dead weight that needs to be dropped, cane, Taylor, etc) so it's totally a coaching issue
