    I agree the Saders loss to Drua is inconsequential in the context of Super rugby, Robertson's plans will cover the entire year and making sure they are there at the business end of the season. It does highlight the difference between coaching at Super level and test level though, there's no such thing as an inconsequential loss when you are AB head coach, even if they are exactly that in the context of the competitions they are playing in. E.G. we won Bledisloe and TRC last year, but most fans think the year was a complete disaster worthy of immediately sacking the coach.

    they didn't stop playing, their home games were in Aus for a few months, and that was last year.

    to be fair, neither did I. And that's kind of the point - if it was satire, it fooled a whole lotta people

    What has not been mentioned is that Robertson has the ideal height-weight ratio.

    Well I have to admit I must try and put laughing face on posts who don't realise that I wouldn't blame Razor for Crusader's dropping a game, I don't normally blame the coach as it's normally the players that lose the games anyway.
    Anyway from now on I promise to try and remember that having a half hearted pisstake is going to go well over some's heads.
    So apologies to those posters. I sure many of you will be trying to check the height weight ratio that booboo mnetions a couple of posts back!!

    @BerniesCorner the key question about it all, is will we get to 6,000 posts on the topic before then?

    ea433bec-88d2-4949-b287-a2ad203da9da-image.png

    so 2 weeks, almost 400 posts, we gonna get to 6,000 easy, I'd wager 5,000 of them are saying the same thing over and over, making this the most repetitive thread ever, surely ๐Ÿ™‚

    im going to say it...blackadder wasn't as bad a coach as some would have you believe, still had over 60% win record, runners up twice and 4 more playoffs, yes, he was missing what was needed to win it but that 2011 final appearance was a huge achievement on the back of the earthquakes, (no real home games etc) for example

    Razor definitely didn't start on the back foot, he has grown significantly but on what was already a pretty string foundation between the crusaders organisation in general and a pretty healthy team (if not champion) under blackadder
