Fuck me. More coaches and managers than a small country's rail network.
I don't know why anyone would be remotely surprised about this unless they're still living in the 1990's?
All tier-1 setups look like this now, your minds would blow seeing the size of an NFL setup, also the team at 2023 World Cup was even bigger as there were 7 on-field coaches altogether with Foster, Schmidt, Strawbridge, McLeod, Hill, Ryan, Feek - along with the same amount of managerial staff that's listed here.

@Victor-Meldrew A few pints of Stella will ease the pain.

Those are the dumbest people in NZ, and Jeff Wilson is the stupidest person in the entire world.

Your self-reflection skills exceeds that of others.

He might not be, but that other commentator that wears blazers that would be tight on Terry Wright for sure is.
Ben Castle I think his name is. -

It would be a disaster if he appointed Scott Barrett as captain. Apart from the fact it would make Robertson look like he's unable to look outside his Crusader mates - its already bad enough with Richie and Sam. Scott would almost be the final straw for me.
Please pick Scooter. Please pick Scooter. Just please.

I'm a big Ardie fan, but his captaincy hasn't been great. I'd pick Scott, and I wouldn't care that he goes on a sabbatical next year. That's my prediction

I'll put it in here, but looking well forward were going to get another b team touring NZ next year 🤬

If it's a money thing, surely Ta$man will have some spare dosh from being free of most of their ABs?

Annoyed that Delany has been out for a while, he was one of the form locks before he got injured aswell.

You would assume they are selecting 4 locks so Strange was always going to be a good chance as the fourth lock. Hopefully Lord is close to full fitness by July.
Hopefully he learns some of the laws of rugby in the interim. Olympic level stupid.

…..and to think people in other threads were whinging about Norm Maxwell, Todd Blackadder and Isaac Ross.
