So does tonight's performance confirm to us that there is a reason why previous AB coaches got international experience before taking on a massive gig like this?
Razor won 7 titles in a row with his 'quarterback' (stupid term) Richie Mo'unga.
The much maligned Rob Penney just won a SR title with journeyman Rivez Reihana running the cutter......
How much did Razor and his team really learn by staying in SR, being the big fish in a small pond?
Did they need to stay in SR for 7 seasons?
My preference would be to wait until Joe Schmidt's available, then to hand him the keys to the Black Machine (well that's what it used to be).
Warren Gatland, Milton Haig, Jamie Joseph, Vern Cotter or even Robbie Deans could do as interim HCs if needed.
I think the media and NZR need to tell Scott Robertson "that second half was totally unacceptable" and then ask " now what are you going to do about it, radically and today if need be, so there is no repetition of that shambles ever?"

Who is the lamentable twat asking the question at 4:45; "is it important not to react too much, just one that got away from you?"
It's a record loss, at home, you fuckwit where our team looked incompetent at every aspect. This after the "honest review" when we set a new record by losing to Argentina in Argentina.

A group of cliches incoherently assembled. Robertson looked haunted and out of his depth..
@antipodean Jesus Christ, rugby media is so fucking servile and clueless!

Rassie said it best.
"Dogshit"
And the good thing about what Rassie did, is his players see/hear him saying that in the media and say to themselves "fuck, we are in for it now". Then ring the changes, beast them in training etc.
Would you be "afraid" of Razor or Scooter's wrath?

The media are only a cigarette papers width less guilty than the management and players.
Its journalistic cowardice and a fear of having their access and jollies cut.

@Duluth Scott Robertson tries to make it sound like it was a narrow defeat. It wasn't. It was a slaughter in the second half.
Where's the passion? Where's the "we're pissed off at how shit we played"
Need someone like BBBT or Fitzy to read the riot act to the whole outfit with the volume set to 11.
There needs to be some accountability and important players need to get dropped. The infallibility of B Barrett and Savea doesn’t give a good message. Drop them and get some fire under the fringe players to take the incumbents place
Somebody high profile needs to be sacrificed.
A coach, Ardie, Beaudy, Scooter.
Thats what peak Mourinho used to do. Make an example of someone early doors.

I’m all for it if they build a stadium with a roof.

Its all well and good having the odd tongue in cheek tweet, but we ALL need to put our shoulder to the wheel here, Weber, included.
He should be tweeting "fucking unacceptable".
