Ellison
Kidwell.

TBF, he might be a decent defence coach but I'd prefer not to have anyone involved in the 2017 Kiwis in the ABs, especially not the guy in charge of that clusterfuck.

Wasnt Nick Evans name floating around here for a while a couple months ago? Have his and JJ paths ever crossed before?
Yes that was me. Conversations were held and apparently are still off and on. Latest on Evans is he interviewed for teams in Japan. Havenโt heard anything since.

Full respect to David Kirk having the balls to make the tough call .

@Nepia weren't Argentina big movers when he was there?
You're as bad as ratpoo with your need to always bring league into it.
Woah, that's a bit nasty.

Not sure if his time with Cheika was the rise period for Argentina or not, it might be. I'm too lazy to search.

Today certainly didn't disappoint. Moving Razor on had to happen after reading everything on this forum and how ordinary we've been for the last 2 years.
Mark Watson must read this forum as he has called for Ardie Savea to be dropped completely from the next ABs coach listening to the Devlin podcast just before.

I remember their aggressive defence being a factor when they got their first win against us

Speaking of Argentina. Kenny Lynn has done great there. I honestly think they're one of the best attacking teams in world rugby.

If we can't get Tony Brown back. Would anyone rate either Ronan O'Gara or Nick Evans as assistant coach options?

Somewhere in the last 150 pages there was someone concerned (
) that the Breakdown was off air and we wouldn't get their razor sharp insights into the drama of today. But never fear: -

Surely the 2024 review wasnt glowing either, so this latest one was just the petrol on the fire.

You are not enlightened from Mils thinking it was just clickbait this morning?
