Most I talk to, it is not the legend of Robinson bring inflated. It's foster is so average, he's worth a crack and at least would be innovative and a change from the same gamelan for half a dozen years. At least he has a good record as head coach, is young, and can turn an underperforming team around
I think you get the impression Robertson would have a plan, would convey that plan to supporters and would bring in the best assistant coaches he could to implement that plan, no matter the nationality.

Of all the things I've seen discussed, I think the ABs should be focused on their defensive system, ball retention and territorial kicking game. They win world cups. Focus on keeping teams at the right end of the pitch and squeezing them into mistakes. NZ have shown that they are still capable of capitalising on transitions. The talent is there.
Too many teams are scoring 25+ points against NZ these days. Below 20 and NZ are still looking ok.

If you can stomach a bit of reason, there was an interesting snippet
When you also consider that six of the lads entered the MIQ lottery to get off the tour – Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu were successful – then you wonder if this is the happy camp that is constantly being spoken of.
I didn't realize 6 individuals applied to get out early
The uncharitable might even think that it is all part of a diabolical Foster plot to undermine Scott Robertson and the Crusaders ahead of the new seasonreally, is anyone actually thinking that except him?
Jesus, I don't even think the Cantabs on here would come up with something as silly as that. We all missed a trick, we should have been journos and we could be getting paid for the bollocks we write on the Fern on a daily basis.

Agreed.
As a general rule, if we keep other teams to less than 20 points, we are basically unbeatable ( I think I saw this stat somewhere).
Equally, if we are kept to less than 20 points, the loss percentage goes through the roof. If teams are taking their chances on penalties to maul, they can probably get above that number unless we do something about it.

that was me!! Over the last however many years i looked at, if we got to 22 points, generally we were home.
That is not the case now

ha ha, journo's don't really get paid any more. It's minimum wage I think, and it's tragic.

I'd like a little bit of minimum wage for the crap I post on here. With the bollocks he writes I'm sure he has another job as well that actually takes up his time.

Based on the quality of his articles, I think journo is Reason's secondary job
