Mils is saying we are trying too hard, and playing too much. That there's a time and place for percentage rugby. I agree with all of that
Game plan seems to have been built around DMac's rather chaotic playing style.

Razor has gone on record saying things such as Test rugby should be entertaining, he wants to play champagne rugby as well. Just not respecting the basixs IMHO

Well, whatever the problems are with the ABs, from what we've seen so far, Robertson really doesn't look to be the rugby savant, the super-coach with the magic solution, game-plans and blender of teams with mental skills for tough moments, does he?
After the peak of the RWC Final, we've gone backwards at an alarming rate and the excuses about players like Whitelock and Smith retiring don't wash. The best players today were their replacements.
Give Robertson more time by all means, but NZR needs a drains-up review of this team's performance to find what exactly is wrong, how to fix it, and - if the coaching team is up to the job - give them the support they need.

No doubt cop flak for this but IMHO Dmac is the biggest issue here. With a 10 that doesn't do that headless chicken bullshit we walk that game. Seriously wtf was that pass.

So time for Harry Plummer with a bit of sanity to start at 10? Maybe DMacs style allows the ABs to get around the rush D? Maybe he should be subbed early in the second half with Plummer coming on to steer the team around the field?

A few games back it was mentioned to Razor how bad the final 20 had been
Razor said something to the effect of "Really? I'll have to look into that."

He is the opposite of what I thought he would be.
Underprepared, un-ruthless, un-innovative, un-inspiring, vague when asked to comment.

I want to see it, just as a point of difference. But it's not Razor's gameplan

@nta will be gutted he missed that comeback, especially when you consider he’s gone to watch a band who’s sole claim to fame is a shitty cover of ‘Black Betty’

That’s pretty solid proofreading from someone as pissed as you.
In my defence I was on the phone one handed while washing some plates

He's got the ABs playing pretty good rugby for 40-60 minutes. I wouldn't say Foster had the team looking this good for those periods. So to say we are going backwards I don't think is accurate. But I do agree this is beyond a massive issue.

It's exciting. But lacking control. I want more comtrol
