If we win this one I think most people will be happy heading to the EOYT.
We only just lost to a good SA side.
The only bad loss being Argentina I
I'm frustrated Proctor and Love haven't had more game time. The backline could certainly do with some more attacking options.
Hopefully we can find a quick 7. Lakai EOYT ?Then I'm in the minority.
The results are only OK - they really should have won one of those games in SA.
Our attack (early) looks good but we can't finish games strongly. The lack of points in the last 30 - as a pattern - is a huge concern.
That has to be addressed or we are going to get run over by teams.
#metoo. It's been a shit show with once again injury being our best selector. 50-0 in the last 20 is unacceptable. Razor had a ton of goodwill, he should've used it to grow the future, losses would be accepted. Instead we have cane, undropable Ardie, TJ, BB at ten, havili, and some of SR best players left right out
I think the majority of us were kind of expecting some kind of mass upheaval and innovation with the appointment of razor ,
But maybe we brought the hype got him totally wrong , I mean on reflection were the crusaders that innovative, or did they just do the basics better than their opposition?

Sam Whitelock was an excellent coach

Yeah, the last sentence, and the lack of strong competition in recent seasons.
The Canes and Blues have both improved massively since getting new coaches in.

I thought the Crusaders got away with a lot of professional fouls under Robertson and Ryan - taking their play to the edge. Maybe it flys under the NZ teams giving the dominant team the benefit of the doubt but at test level the refs aren't buying it.

Exits will be interesting in this game. Something we have been unable to nail so far.
BB can be flakey with his exits. Has TJ managed a single box kick that hasn't been charged down in the RC? There is no Jordy there to offer support.
Our exit strategy is quite predictable based on those stats.
Do we have the tight five to smash our way out of the 22? Based on the metres per carry of our starting tight forwards I would say no.

Comparing players' exit kicks stats would be interesting.

We've never lost to Australia with Blackadder playing.
Not sure if true but sounds good.

Yep, will hear plenty of 'just give Razor time', 'he doesn't have the cattle' bullshit from his admirers.
Having said that, ABs by 20+ surely. This Wallabies team is borderline tier 2.

I wouldn't class myself as an admirer, but in general I'm in the give him time camp.
For this game though, his selections are not trying anything new, they are TJ and BB to start FFS. You don't get any leeway on results if you're going to select the past. -

Agree the Saders gave away a lot of professional fouls, but it seems they also got punished a lot with cards. Card stats would be interesting to see.
