Auckland Forecast for Saturday Night; 9 Deg C, slight breeze, zero chance of rain

Of all the professions out there you would think coaching would have a set of gentlemen's rules. Very few coaches finish their careers without being sacked at least once. Suggest Gatland reads Henry's book with a focus on the Lions coaching experience chapter.

And I thought Kiwis were flightless.

He doesn't seem to be a very happy chappy unless he's tearing someones spleen out.

Yep, the combination of Botox and Plastic Surgery has removed the wrinkles, but the eyebrow lift feels tight.

Spot on Scott. The All Blacks just wait patiently in defence for us to implode in attack. I think we give the Wallabies too much credit for their 'inside ball' move. It mostly occurs when a flat footed Wallaby runner receives a slow pass that goes behind them and sets off across field. They soon...

The ability to execute them all under pressure consistently is the challenge for the players and coach. It's the difference between sinking a 2 foot putt while practising by yourself and sinking that same 2 foot putt in front of a large crowd for a large sum of money in a major. Some guys never...

Pick Slipper over Robinson as LHP but please don't replace Kepu at THP with Slipper.

He's got no 'quit' in him.

Saving his job?

I wouldn't fancy my gain line stats improving if playing outside Barnes. Only Rob Andrew and Naas Botha stood deeper @ 10.

Don't think it's a big deal, Easts have 3 grades playing on the same day.

Get Mr Miyagi to coach the Wallabies and play Daniel 'son' @ 10.

It would certainly help the Wallabies game if they had the same brutal intensity in driving 1 to 1.5m past the ball carrier in contact as the All Blacks. The ball comes quicker, Genia's pass improves, more of the opposition are off their feet, attack can stand flatter and run onto the ball...

Moore did enough off the bench to grab 1 or 2 points.

I think what makes most of us frustrated and at times angry is the seeming lack of 'having a go'. It's an Australian thing that as underdogs we do whatever we can, and at times more, to knock over a favourite. Currently we just seem to be going through the motions, and not trying anything daring...

They don't recruit the kid, they recruit the parents, that's how it usually works.

While important, I don't think Deans' KPI's would have Culture, Motivation and Lack of dissent at the top of the page. It's more likely to be about WINNING Test Matches %, Winning or finalist in RWC, Winning Bledisloe Cup, Tri Nations, etc. If you disagree, how much longer should he have in the...

Your comments could relate to the Australian Cricket team too.

To be fair, there is a major difference. AFL is more similar to Super Rugby than Club Rugby. Agree that NSW Rugby should do more though.
