All Blacks squad - The Rugby Championship

@nostrildamus he promised they are keen to get stuck in, and try their hardest!
Hopefully on the plane to SA Fozzie will watch the opening 10 mins of each test over and over to see what Ireland do with the ball, and McLeod watches thier connected aggressive d line to realise rugby defence is still attacking the opposition, not sitting back waiting for them to get to you to make the tackle.

Wouldn't be surprised to see this forward pack:
1 Bower
2 Taylor
3 Laulala
4 Whitelock
5 Barrett
6 Ioane
7 Cane
8 Savea16 Taukei'aho
17 Ross
18 Tu'ungufasi
19 Tuipulotu
20 PapaliiThere will be a minor attack plan tweak, if we are lucky. No changes to defence.

Which means they weren't and didn't before? Well that encourages me.

It's exciting! They're excited!

I just don't think Laulala is starting AB test material anymore. Sadly.

Wonder how many more tests before the AB coaches figure it out?

and if Taylor starts any more tests...and I guess not all of the lineout issues is due to him but he is likely a factor.

So they retained Cane and there are no changes to the inept coaching staff. Fuck me, the Boks are going to smash us up front.
At this rate we will be kicked out in the QF. France v Boks RWC Final. And we slump to #6 on the RWC rankings. Need to get rid of this absolutely useless, gultess prick.

Yeah, but that’s not enough is it? Keenness is the very least we expect, so saying it is simply a truism. I’m sure the team was keen before T3 as well, but they still got their arses handed to them, so what’s new?
If they want us to praise them for participating they can fuck off. Win or they’re no good to us.

20 PapaliiLooks good! Especially now that PGS and his insidious presence on the bench (or in the stands) has been rooted out of the squad!

So made my way through the audio of the press conference.
Interesting that ended on the altercation with Marshall abusing the All Blacks while legless drunk. Didn't sound happy that it had been recorded, and didn't think it was a big deal. He's spoken to both Akira and Marshall, and apparantly they've spoken as well.
My takeaway from the rest is that his assistant coaches are in the process of being fired. Just a guess, but I think that's what the "big" changes will end up being.

herein lies the big problem with our current season structure
Let's say, for a second, that the coaches cop the fuck on and realise that just maybe that Hoskins Sotutu bloke is quite good, and should play
By the time he gets to play South Africa he hasn't played a game of rugby in 7 weeks
Yeah, that's ideal before a test in the Republic

And how would you feel being one of those coaches , the sack might be coming but not quite yet , but come to Africa with us anyway .

Fuck sake give us Grace, Robinson or MMT over Frizell.
I’d take Jerry Collins over Frizell, and he’s dead.
We had the Suitcase, the Casket?
Ghosting through gaps.

Probably feels about as good as coaching players that has reviewed your poorly?
