I note that we have already considered bareheaded, but have we considered the impact of being an egghead? Or, to use the local colloquialism, being a bald cnt? Further research is definitely needed into the impact of lid choices on the fast evolving field of sequential highly iterative...

It's interesting that the two globally recoginised players for the ABs over the last two seasons have both been rookies.

I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that the high performance system has stagnated since ~2015 or whenever. There's an inherent volatility with age-grade performance, but there does seem to have been a general plateauing of collective performances over a protracted period. Similarly, there's...

It does say that indeed. I'm just unliterate. All leading to the Surfer Bro Robertson vs. Stern Vern thunderdome contract negotiations.

Would it? If it's true, then he's kept it to himself and is getting on with his job without any fuss. And he was still selected to be XV captain by Jamie Joseph who was, coincidentally, the other AB HC candidate from 2023. Meanwhile Robertson got his job despite publicly undermining Foster.

Extremely common Dalton W.

Didn't watch and cbf finding a replay, but it does seem an interesting contrast of team trajectories since they met in Robertson's first three tests. England have obviously been developing with a plan and have clear evidence of improvement. The ABs, meanwhile, are still the same muddled mess of...

Gay old Gore has its charms.

Oh. Oh no. I think... No. Surely not. No. Wait. Yes. There it is. I can hear it. Definitely hear it. It's music. Theme music. Of Dave.

In summary: Let Roigard run more. Let Roigard dictate play more. Let Roigard do whatever he wants. Do not replace Roigard unless it is mathematically impossible to lose. Start Fainga'anuku at IC for the rest of the tour. Roigard.

Has Roigard run with the ball at all? Or the forwards carried close to the breakdown? Everything just seems to be the same muddled few passes into the midfield until a mistake is made or it's kicked away.

Jason Holland becomes the second backs coach to leave in as many years. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360864141/all-blacks-assistant-coach-jason-holland-depart-end-year So what are our bets on replacements? Wayne Smith? Joe Schmidt? Some random former Crusader? The man, the myth?

No AJ Lam is a travesty. Especially when you look at the other midfield selections. Dave. lol. lmao, even.
