Yep, the game has already been played. No surprises from here onwards unless there is the same thing that happened when Paul Roos filled in as Swans coach and the job had been promised to Terry Wallace. The base rose up and said as one “we want Roos”. That is unlikely to happen here unless Clyne...

Any Kiwi we get is only here because they didn’t get the job they all want Some we would consider are likely not even on the short list for the NZ job We need to run a proper process, so as to not make the same mistakes again Pretty sure we wont because it has already been run and won...

Hard to reconcile the supposed superior skill coaching available and see a team so poor at catch pass tackle kick If thats what we need get the crew working with Japan, that is execution of skill under pressure We are nowhere in comparative execution.

The whole Mick Byrne thing is wearing a bit thin. Where is the evidence of this world class capability??

Which Schoolboys World Championship ? 20’s were runners up , 18’s-schools beat NZ not SA or any other school sides of note?

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion, they also get that opinion weighed against their own conduct.

Ouch? If Cooper had any idea he would have retired by now. Go boxing, plenty of cab drivers looking for a soft night out. If there is a massively flawed character in this soap opera it is Cooper. If his name was ever the answer the wrong question was being asked.

32 years ago it looked like it did 75 years ago. A semi circle with very little co-ordination. And a distinct lack of throat slitting. Corrected referencing Shelfords role in 1987 World Rugby wouldn’t fart without sign off from NZ. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous

Over promoted and over indulged. Cannot remember the last game he played where he made a difference. Hopefully whoever coaches next starts with a clean sheet. Plenty of protected species.

Well put. As with so much of the way NZ do business they push the envelope continuously to gather advantage. This is just another example. First time I have actually seen a NZ official mis speak. It’s only rationale has been as a “challenge “. If not that it is pisstake of gargantuan proportion.

Agree he is a great player and stays as skipper, the young guy McReight is going to be outstanding, Hooper carries the ball great, passing is fine and tackles well. Our midfield needs reinforcement. We would benefit in both areas. Not as though anyone has established as a dominant 12 moving...

Reads comments give clarity around the long running bs about the challenge. Not my words, his. As with so much of the conduct of international rugby it is all about NZ.

We need to make deeper changes than that, many more need to move on permanently. New broom

Saw this quote from the NZ captain talking through the importance of the Haka to NZ All good but begs the question that why should the opposition all be bullied into participating and having to passively accept the sideshow “that is all about us”? The fans response was outstanding and should...

Sadly AUS is the golfer who thinks success comes from a new golf club or a different ball, the teams in the Top 5 know that the answer is in repetition and the ability to produce skill under time and space pressure. Until we get that this is more important than the size of the dog in the fight...

100%. Didn’t get everything right , they never do. Job was made a lot easier by Skeene shutting up or being put in his place

And the grinning “ aw shucks “ humble battler press conference Inspector Poirot payed the usual sycophantic hand.

That would not be good. Almost self sabotage
