What'd I do? (I'm hoping someone ... cough @Dan54 ... started a new thread 50 odd posts after someone started a new thread and it wasn't me ... )

P.S. who is @Dan54-35 and @Dan543 ?

buggered if I know who Dan 543 or Dan54-35 is Boo, only know who I am, and it's hard enough being me without trying to be anyone else. My Nic comes from my name and year born, so whoever else does it different.

O'Gara and Robertson to join forces for Barbarians against All Blacks

The coaching team has not yet been announced but Sportsmail understands that O'Gara and Robertson - have already agreed to join forces for the Barbarians.

I'm inclined to believe NZR didn't approach Robertson before coming up with the XV concept.

Well according to one version of that report he was offered it when NZR resigned Razor. Perhaps Baabaas job worth more money? Mind you it could be speculation about Razor as there no official staement.

@Chris won’t take that long to recover. Good chance he could be back 3 to 4 weeks, maybe sooner. He is is good shape, relatively young and tough.

Goodhue is leaving so Sangster or Gallagher or MSR.

😑😑 selby-rickit

[Stargazer]

@Mackerzzzz I wonder whether MSR's criminal conviction will play a role? Will he be able to enter all countries?

[SouthernMann]

I'd pick Fabian Holland. He has such great physical attributes and steps up so well to each level.

@Stargazer said in All Blacks XV:

the coach of this team should be able to pick the players himself

No. The AB selectors should get to pick this team. But assume this thread has moved past this argument now.

@Stargazer NZR kicking goals again.

@Kirwan said in All Blacks XV:

Haven’t they missed a trick not calling this team the Shadow All Blacks?

They could have called it the Shades. Or the Black Shadows.

At least they'll get to see what Robertson can do with a team with a short turnaround

[nostrildamus]

@stodders ouch!

[booboo]

Why are we upset?

Didn't we already know this?

Were upset because razor should be coaching the ABs. And this maybe even puts the knockers on him taking over after fozzie had lost the bled

[Bovidae]

I'd like to know how much communication there has been (in both directions) between NZR and Robertson. I wouldn't be surprised if Robertson decided to accept the Baabaas offer without NZR knowing, which then ruled him out of the AB XV coaching position.
