All Blacks : B. Barrett de retour à l'arrière, Jordan sur l'aile

Your reflex is to react with abuse and vulgarity, highlighting your position's inherent weakness and ignorance. So feel free to abuse me all day because it does not take away the accuracy of my questions.

By refusing to address the questions and then answering with abuse, you confirm that they are accurate and truthful.

Again, refusing to answer the question allows you to avoid the fact that Ireland effectively brought its way to success, as everyone in the Southern Hemisphere understands.

I mean, the sad, simple fact is that in the recent QF loss to the ABs - Ireland scored one try, and all others were scored by Kiwis - including two by so-called "project players."

The amusing thing is—and I'm unsure if you realize how funny it is—when rolling out the abuse to all things Kiwi and Kiwi rugby, you are so blinded by your abuse that you haven't taken time to consider that you have multiple Kiwis running around in your national team and that your team's success is largely built off the Rugby IP of a Kiwi coach. I mean, a little self-reflection might assist here, I would imagine.

As I leave, let me leave you again with those three questions and the simple challenge of answering them: Are you honest enough to do so, or will you reply with abuse?

Agree or disagree:

1. The IRFU enacted a policy of "Project Players."

2. The policy targeted professional rugby players who they considered could, after the residency three-year residency period in existence at that time(now five years), play for Ireland.

3. None of the Southern Unions - RA, NZRFU, etc- have ever enacted any centralized policy and have ever had any "project player."

And can someone please ask razor to stop calling it footy. I despise that term. Its Rugby!

And every year the same result.

This time around the chances are even more slim. 1. This is the worst Australian side for some time. With or without Schmidt. He’s no miracle worker. 2. This is still a very good NZ team. Despite the absolute mess they’ve made around running the team. If Argentina can put 40 on Australia - NZ can put 40 on them. No problem.

It’s going to be a 20+ ball game in NZs favour. Minimum. And then NZ will be back in their public’s good books.

If they pump Australia again, they’ll be declared the next World Cup winners with Ireland. Shared.

Until the autumn tests of course. When NZ lose one or both games against the Irish and French and we’ll be back to this story again.

Ahh. The media and fans. So predictable and fickle.

The ABs will become consistent winners again once razors has had the opportunity to learn how to be an international coach. He’s only been doing it for a few months now.

Like I’ve said before. Razor waking in and blowing the competition out of the water is insulting to the many fantastic international coaches who has to work hard to get to that level of success. Even the great Henry and Hansen had to slum it in Wales.

If NZRU actually knew what they were doing they’d have developed their boy razor more. They’ve set him up for failure. They should have retained Foster (or Schmidt) instead of discarding him like a leper.

But at least one thing is certain on the horizon. If Razor doesn’t cut it beyond 2027 - SARU and Rassie Erasmus would have done the good work for them and prepped Tony Brown for the job. I just hope he tells them to stuff it because he’s being treated so well by an organization that knows how to treat its people.

Like Naas Botha says - why not?
