Argentina on the other hand have had months of build up for this one game, to beat a team they have never beaten and a clear game plan to train for.
Wait, Argies don't have family? If I was an AB I'd be training to beat a team we'd never lost to.
The interesting thing with all this COVID hubs/bubbles or whatever you want to call it for teams away from home ,
In the AFL and nrl , teams that won the comp had been away from home for months and even the warriors seemed to form a brotherhood bond that won them respect , it almost seems some sides were able to tap into something and use it to their advantage when they hit the field even if there was some homesick stuff going on off the field .
And some didn’t, see North Melbourne, Demons, Bombers, Hawthorn..

@junior ah ok, well guess same question applies to Evans.
Although uncle Google says he's been there and still there...
Enoka seems like a lovely man and appears to have played a significant role in developing the culture in the ABs. I'm less convinced about his ability as a sports psych, because he's been involved for a long time during which we've had some monumental mental breakdowns. To be fair to him, he's also been part of some of our best days, so he deserves at least some credit.

About time JB had a turn at 15. Best fb all year.
Smith 9 -Mounga 10 -ALB 12 -Beauden 13 -Clarke 11-Ioane 14-Jordie 15So obvious Sotutu is the best 8
Just need leader and coach
Would Coles f**k about if McCaw was on the paddock? -
@BerniesCorner the fuck?? BB at 13?
@MN5 not sure what relevance Fozzies weight has, seems plenty of people stick the boot in on that aspect, when it has zero reflection on his ability as a coach (doubt he'd be a better coach if he was ripped)
-
He use to play 13 so not technically a Cullen

People function better in all aspects of life at a healthy weight. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.
-
@MN5 Given nothing of what he does needs to be made off the cuff where weight and fitness providing clarity of thought while exhausted would be relevant.
Just think it is a wrong to be calling him fat all the time (similarly people called Hansen fat too)

You’re right in that it doesn’t effect his coaching but it just shows gluttony and a lack of self discipline to me. It’s not like he can’t afford healthy food and access to training and diet advice.
I guess our opinions will have to differ.

I remember Fozzie saying they were going to up the physicality and pick more specialists.
What a load of BS.
Doesn't that just go to show how arrogant he's been? Just like a fucking politician, he came into the job preaching hope and change, sending the people the message they wanted to hear, and now he's in the job he's continued on with his bone-headed plan that was an abject failure last year.
-
If telling people what they want to hear with no actual intention to rock the boat gets you into the best jobs, why not? It's not like they select on merit..

I missed the game on Saturday - what happened?
Was there even a game?I'm not going to read back through these posts. Its too depressing. For a long time, I felt our performance in the Lions First test was our template moving forward, now it looks more and more like an aberration. It now seems that we really can't look at in all the recent losses since the BIL & Chicago in isolation, because a pattern has formed, and we really have come back to the pack - which is great for World Rugby, shit for us.
Foster has to go.
RM is not the next Dan Carter, in fact, I think its probably been shown that BB is better behind a poor pack. RM has and does go missing when its not working in front of him. We have some issues, not just RM, but right through the whole team & culture. Time for change.
I hope Razor can fix them.
