Let's be honest, how many of these current All Blacks are either the best player or the second best player in their position in the world?
Not many.
Funny how with Schmidt as coach all of a sudden a number of Wallabies are in the conversation.....
Funny how with Schmidt as coach all of a sudden a number of Foster era All Blacks looked better.

We have too much talent for Italy, but man we are such a poorly selected and coached side right now. Surf Jesus has turned out to be a poor man's Fozzie but also with a strong bias to his own region.
Steady on.

This narrative from Blues fans that Robertson is the problem is weird. Schmidt was apart of the All Blacks coaching team under Foster, which had many of the same issues.

You are going to defend Foster on one freak game?

There was some politics or personality issues going on, perhaps,

I am sure a few would be generous and point at Ryan as well.

My understanding is he met with Razor and decided he didn’t want to work with him. It’s a shame as I think the mix would have given us some good balance.

But we heard for 4 years that Razor was the one to fix everything?

The NZ work at the breakdown is poor. Beauden Barrett is dreadful at 10. The All Blacks aren't really reacting to what the opposition are doing.
The front three are providing a decent platform in the engine room though.
They have been bloody good nearly all tour, and I wonder why we have seldom been able to capitalize on our strong set piece?
Kicking, passing,and tactics perhaps.

A good coach combined with someone who has no idea? I imagine so.

Surf Jesus wept.No. Just pointing out that Robertson's arguably the most over-hyped AB coach in my lifetime.

Yeah I think Robertson worked really well with O'Gara and does well with a different style/approach coach to work with. Perhaps Schmidt thought there was too much ego, I don't know, but we lost a good, bold, coach.
