'I am available to play for the Wallabies' - Former All-Black Kerr-Barlow eyes up shock switch
Kerr-Barlow, who was born in Melbourne, last represented New Zealand in 2017.
Is this one of those situations where the IQ of both countries goes up?
He’s still a good player. Don’t think he’d be in the ABs on merit though. Good luck to him. Maybe he’s looking to live in Oz and is feathering the bed before moving into coaching?

I wonder about Schmidt as the article says our attack was toothless and we ran out of ideas and Options very quickly.

ABs drop down to 7th, am I right?

5th as of today.
6th - if we lose to Argies again.
7th - if we then lose to Aussies. -
We need 2 resignations

@MN5 said in All Blacks 2022:
So midfield is a real concern.
We need to try Havili/Goodhue.
No No we need ALB back with Rieko
No with Goodhue
Let's try Tupaea/ALB or Tupaea/Goodhue
Nah Jordie /Goodhue is the answer
Shit this coaching lark is tougker than I thought ....
What’s George Moala up to ?
Frizell and Reece got selected so no reason he can’t as well.
Last I heard George was running hard up the midfield (and hitting hard) so he doesn't suit this team.

Isn't he sharing the attack with Foster or is Schmidt and Schmidt alone the attack coach?
I think one test isn't enough to judge him. But I feel now like it can't just be the coaching, we don't quite have the onfield strategy, fitness, and skills advantage either (that we used to have). -

Far too abrasive, physical and dominant.
I’m glad he’s gone.

But I feel now like it can't just be the coaching, we don't quite have the onfield strategy, fitness, and skills advantage either (that we used to have).Our 'fitness' has been nullified somewhat by the number of breaks creaping into the game. I suspect we still have the fitness to outrun most teams but we are not being allowed to do it. Is it time we changed our 'fitness' to producing muscle bound monsters like other teams? If we can't beat them maybe we should join them.

Our skills used to be better, particularly when fatigued. Now they struggle even when we're fresh

Players don't lose skills they lose confidence.

I remember an interview with him way before he was inline for the Allblack job , and he kind of talked about setting up gameplans to suit the skills of the side you are coaching , and how that can vary depending on who you are coaching at the time
I remembered that when he got the job, and it gave me hope that our attack would be very different to irelands under hiis coaching , and the blues looked different to Ireland

He must have learnt that after he tried to make Carlos play a Tasesa Lavea style the year after the Carlos style won the Blues a Super comp.
