The Rugby Pod list the problems with the World League proposals

AB losses were by larger margins and lost at home, playing arguably their best sides.

In the past, the boks would lose games in the name of building. Now they win games with less than perfect performances. Even Score 7 tries playing poorly.

I’m happy with that.

And they'll be up around something like 70% next year which will see Penney get reappointed!

Maybe he has such a bad preference that that's why he's not a good center?

He's my first choice of any New Zealander for the 10 jersey with the All Blacks.

It's not about any coach being "right". I think a lot of selections can become defense and while it doesn't really apply here I really enjoyed that Andy Farrell just gave into the public demands and changed out his team for the change that had been asked for. Like why not? This is the countries team, keep them engaged. The whole reason i've only just finished watching the game was because I wasn't interested in watching any of the selected players against a team like Italy (still actually enjoyed the first half with the contest Italy made of it).

Faz leap frogs a younger half back into start. He hands the golden child the game over July's golden child. He gives an old winger a go, a new flanker and hooker. None of them really did any good, certainly not enough to suggest they should have been promoted above others, but who cares? You won, and you gave the country what they wanted, that's all that matters after all. It's for the country, not the one in charge who thinks they have to have their own pied piper tune playing.
