Wouldn't the team manager be the driver and Robbie the tour guide? A tour guide can only give experience, facts and advice. It's up to the tourists to implement those things when given the time to explore on there own.
These analogies and metaphors are much more exciting than the traditional rugby cliches.
Imagine if Will Genia had said in his post match interview last weekend "Robbie is our tour guide and he told us all about the wonders of The Louvre, but unfortunately we were just unorganised individual tourists who joined the wrong queue and stood in line all day and didn't get in. Meanwhile the All Blacks were part of an organised tour group and got to skip the queue. We're hoping to see The Louvre in two weeks time in Perth."

I Lol'd.
I think though that even on this analogy/metaphor thingy that if the Bus Driver is going the wrong way or if the Tour Guide isn't getting the tourists organized, going for some other team is still the equivalent of getting off the bus because isn't the bus itself just a metaphor for the Wallabies?
Maybe it should be the Yellow Submarine instead. There's a good song to go with that too, although The Wheels on the Bus going round and round would layer yet another metaphor in there as well.
What I want to know is whether the bus has one of those toilets in the back.
If it was the Yellow Submarine, at least we'd all be tripping on acid and would care far less about the losses.

And we also wouldn't care how lousy Ringo's singing is either.
Music critic: "What were you thinking letting Ringo sing? Were you on drugs?"
The other Beatles: "Yes."

Well we've got one group doing a capella and the other doing an instrumental - and the groups change at random

What is JON indicating?
A. How close Robbie is to being sacked?
B. How big his own wallet is?
C. How to applaud brilliant Wallaby backline play in case you've forgotten?

I'm told the first class bus travel in Argentina is fantastic. Huge seats, in-seat screens, and, most importantly, a bar on board.

"Right you pricks, you've hurt Robbies feelings so bad I have to give the after game address."
Oh yeah it's fantastic. It's like flying first class. Did an eighteen hour trip and the time flew by.
But that is a story for another day.

That's nothing. I did a 60 hour bus trip from the bottom tip up to Iguazu falls. Good times.

Nothing like saying "you're all being racists" to shut down any form of discussion; rational or irrational (the other one is "now you're being un-Australian").
This sycophantic argument that the Blecks are too good is not an excuse. If that is the case why not just forfeit. The fact is the Blecks system is doing something awesome, it's no secret, they have been on top for ten years now as Sloe results go. Our system is not up to that standard, why not and how do we get there?
We need an answer, we can't sit around waiting for Sir Ritchie to retire.
