@canefan you sound like a very knowledgeable and level headed person.
How do you actually think they’re going?
Bar the Argentina result. Which was terrible. Argentina have since shown they’re actually decent.
Losing by 4 & 6 points in SA was better than I thought they’d do.
I think everyone looked at the score in Australia’s loss to Argentina and thought we’d destroy them in Sydney. I didn’t hear until after , that most of the Aussies had food poisoning.It isn't the losses it's the nature of the losses. Losing 2-1 to the no. 1 team lost year was one thing, losing it the way we did was another.
At the moment we're in a rinse and repeat cycle.

He'll be gone, probably to league. He only signed a 1 year deal so he probably sees the writing on the wall.

When he left razor did speak about how disappointed he was and spoke about him being converted into a midfielder,
Said something like, i think it would it be a natural progression, I think he could be a nonu , tana umaga type
Not my thoughts , just repeating what he said

@DaGrubster surely it’s the CEO. I can’t imagine smithy wanting that responsibility.

So no one else remembers him as a busted flush when he left?

No, he’s a superstar according the the headline

Along with those other superstars in that All Blacks squad Sowakula, Fakatava, Tuivasa-Sheck...

While I don't think it significantly changes anything for the All Blacks, especially in the here and now, the return of Leicester Fainga'anuku is still a great thing.
He's young, he's shown plenty of promise in his career already, and he's had some experience overseas. He might not usurp Ioane at centre or Clarke on the wing, but he's a great player to have in the stocks regardless.
Everyone's so down on everything right now, even great news.
-
Fainga'anuku returning is good news he has been playing really well in the centres for Toulon in a tough comp.
We talk about SR not being great at preparing ABs well here is a player coming back after 2 years playing really well in probably the best comp in the world.
I can't see the negatives for NZ rugby. -

Bugger! But we’ve just bought in Fihaki! He’s the future?!
He’s a crusader though so it’s ok!
