Ex-Wasps out-half Haydon-Wood makes switch to France his next move

I have no confidence in any Aussie taking over at WR HQ. I don't know the man but now are forced to hope he doesn't screw up. We don't have a choice or say in the matter.

WR doesn't need an CEO, they need a board made up of several countries that makes the decisions.

Thre rest of it is arrogance which will find its own comeuppance - if it represents what is going on inside the Springbok camp ofc.

No doubt the real plan will unveil itself over the coming months, but I don't buy Felix's excuses for leaving.

Rassie is far from all-seeing, and SB is a good coach. It's a great coaching contest, and the Boks are beatable. England may just have the game to make it obvious.

Most people (not you of course) will never take him serious. We all see him exactly for who and what he is. Talking about victories for the French in 2017 and 2021. Most of those players isn't in the AB's team. In the game in the WC the AB's was fresh off a hiding from the Boks with their confidence so easy targets. Unsettled team with a coach that already lost his job. As if that is such a motivation, most players knowing under Robinson they will be dropped for his Crusaders players.

Not exactly the environment in which to claim WC honours. Yet, despite all that turmoil, that AB team that got thrashed by the Boks and lost to France, came back and made the WC Final. None of these things get mentioned. Oh no, that doesn't suit his narrative doesn't it? He needs to clickbait the SH teams as usual.

I'm not a violent man, not always, but that's a pathetic little worm I would break every bone in his body, and each sound of breaking bone would give me as much pleasure as a win for the Boks. I would record the sound of his breaking bones and use it as a new ringtone. That is how much respect I have for idiot clickbaiters like him.

Instead of proper articles like the rest out there, all he mostly dish up is tripe. He should change his name to Tripe Smith. That is a much better description of the weasel. Is that dissing enough for you? Next time, actually read to who my responses are aimed at and read their responses as to what elicited that type of response from me.

I don't usually strip myself for any response by you. I actually agree with most everything you usually say and I'm sure you would be a much better writer than BS, however, make sure you read to who and why the responses there is from various people before commenting. As for Lomu, he is one of the greats, despite not getting a WC trophy. I only had the highest regard for that man. What a player and what a human being he was.

A marketing man's dream but like most of them a false narrative at root.

If Skelton and Frost start at lock, you need a major lineout player like Uru or Williams or Wright at 6. It gives Joe the chance to take a long look at how Williams may go there, or whether Seru can play international rugby.

It could turn out to be Aussie's best option in the back five for the Lions tour.

[I think the final game with Ireland 30 Nov is outside the window btw]...

They have all worked abroad and Kiss coached with both Ireland and SA.
