Cane titulaire avec les All Blacks face aux Springboks

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?

However, it would be quite the coup. An Afrikaaner coaching the English team.

But if Franco is willing to come in and work with Rassie - I’m all in!!

Are you being deliberately dishonest?

PS 'I lived in Ireland for 30s, I know Irish people, youre not a proper one, you are embarrassing' is an ad hominem attack rather than a logical argument. Try that one down the pub with someone and see what happens.

How can it be an argument if your own suggestion was both false and loaded? Yours was a non starter.
