Laurie Mains
Only Laurie Mains - 23 wins from 34 tests at 67.65 percent - holds a worse record as All Blacks coach in the World Cup era
Waaaaiiit a miiiinute...

You know what, I don't give a shit about the World Cup. I care that our mana is being damaged here every other test by Foster and co. Test matches are important. It was all lovely and fluffy to hear Richie talk about the team culture, but what the hell happened to the AB coach that put the fear of god into you that losing is just not acceptable. If you play badly, kiss your position goodbye. You're not AB material. This woke world of accepting failure is destroying the All Blacks. We will be just another team in less than 2 years if this crap keeps up.
You've put your finger on what I've hated about the later Hansen and Foster eras. Accepting failure. A Grizz Wylie or Laurie Mains team would have been terrified coming off the paddock after blowing a lead like that knowing the utter bollocking that was coming their way. Tomorrow morning would be tackling practice until they passed out.

To fucking wright. That gave me a laugh. I hate fucking mediocrity. The reputation of the All Blacks has taken a total beating in the last few years. At least I now live in Canada where not 2 many people gives a fuck about rugby. I would be losing my voice if I was the AB coach after that pile of shit. But Foster will just come out with his usual bull. We will lose Razor at this rate and then who will coach after next years debacle which is all I can C at this rate.

@Bones And if Andrew Mehrtens had hit that drop kick, he'd have won the World Cup with a team that had been poisoned.

IMHO our performances on last year's Northern tour, and most of the tests earlier in this season starting with Ireland were extremely damaging. Today we actually played very well, but couldn't seal the deal. No wonder Smith was grateful for the draw

Can't criticize the forwards at all
JB great
9 10 should have kept it close in at the end
Hate the cross kick
Needed Fox or Carter at the end -
This halfback high kick needs looking at
Generally it's sh*t -
Nepo is a serious defense liability. Both breaks have been down his channel

That was a ridiculous selection as well. This over emphasis on experience needs to stop. Shit players need to be dropped, no matter how experienced they are. Newell is a superior player atm.

I remember Fox drilling kicks into the corners

Why not?I remember forwards with no idea of ball skills. Let's try that too.
