What does Leon MacDonald bring to the All Black coaching team exactly?
Crusaders pedigree. Case closed
Razor really is the odd one out of the Crusaders pedigree coaches - Hammettuer, Gibson, Mauger, Thorn, Rangi aren't exactly a great advertisement for the pedigree.
McDonald has done OK with the Blues. They were a rabble for long while before him.
Today Blue's not looking great but don't get carried away.
Well said. People have short memories. He has done a pretty good job.
Compared to the coaching superstars Kirwan and Umaga?

Lots of revision going on. Everyone's been happy to say the blues forwards have had a great season and Laulala is playing the best rugby of his life.
Now people are posting like the blues have been this shit all season?
Off day. Flush the dunny
Off day. Flush the dunny.
Is for regular season games.
Semi final? Good players show up

@Machpants mentioned the Blues players with heads in their hands in the shed before the game. I think they were psyched out before the first whistle. Whereas the Crusaders were on fire.
They still have to deliver on that desire with skill, but that’s the main takeaway for me.

And Pat Lam? And whoever before him, and before him? Nobody did any good with the Blues since 2003
McDonald has done enough for Razor to give him a go as Assistant.

@His-Bobness BB has likely got 40 minutes to save his AB spot after a dreadful 1st half.

Pat Lam made the semis with Stephen Brett at 10. He did well.

They haven't been great. If we're honest they only have to be the third or fourth best team in NZ to make the finals and the form of Talea has been a big part of that.
Their shape, collective skill and attacking fluency is not the stuff of benchmarks.

Nah, not with the way of the last few regimes, experience is everything

I am not a fan of him but I have to say I have been impressed by Ennor. I wouldn't mind having the Saders front row for the ABs.
Ennor was pretty good last week. If he doesn't fuck it up in the second half, I reckon he's playing his way in.
-
This first 40 from the saders is better than any All Black performance I have seen in recent times

I thought being out injured was how he played his way in?
