We do lose more than we win against the top 10 (based on the last three coaches only just having a winning record (McKenzie and Cheika) or a losing record (Rennie) and some of those games involve teams outside the top 10.
Our schedule is skewed towards top 5 sides though with multiple games a year against New Zealand and South Africa (we have a good record against South Africa).
Losing slightly more than you win against top 10 sides with more of those games against top 5 sides puts you firmly in the middle of the top 10 though. A ranking or 5th or 6th is pretty accurate in my view.
That seems accurate. But if we are at a quality level of mid top 10, we need to be managing games against 4/5 and 6/7 as if they are the knock out comp that is reality. We seem to be approaching these games as if we are top 5 not top 10.
Letting Kerevi out was dubious, discussion of also letting Koroibete go is idiocy.
