@nta will be gutted he missed that comeback, especially when you consider he’s gone to watch a band who’s sole claim to fame is a shitty cover of ‘Black Betty’

That’s pretty solid proofreading from someone as pissed as you.
In my defence I was on the phone one handed while washing some plates

Well, whatever the problems are with the ABs, from what we've seen so far, Robertson really doesn't look to be the rugby savant, the super-coach with the magic solution, game-plans and blender of teams with mental skills for tough moments, does he?
After the peak of the RWC Final, we've gone backwards at an alarming rate and the excuses about players like Whitelock and Smith retiring don't wash. The best players today were their replacements.
Give Robertson more time by all means, but NZR needs a drains-up review of this team's performance to find what exactly is wrong, how to fix it, and - if the coaching team is up to the job - give them the support they need.
He's got the ABs playing pretty good rugby for 40-60 minutes. I wouldn't say Foster had the team looking this good for those periods. So to say we are going backwards I don't think is accurate. But I do agree this is beyond a massive issue.

RugbyPass rating Savea 8 and McKenzie 6. Are people insane?

RugbyPass is The Roar for window lickers.

Have a look at the last 3 games of the RWC and tell me we haven't gone backwards and Robertson has this team looking better for longer periods.

Our midfield defence was porous
Well, we were missing two backs for most of the second half.
But we can all guess what your solution is.
However, the story falls apart a bit when you see that it was Rieko making huge saves using his pace. His turn and catch after ALB missed one was magic.

You can thank the Wallaby coach for that. It seemed like a dumb move at the time to not keep him in AB rugby
