Plummer fast becoming the new (gets better the less he plays) favorite.
(though I agree he needs a shot)
Huh? People are just commenting he's played well and it might be good at have a backup ten that's not as shit as BB. Hardly favourite...
Just wait, it has begun.................................
Charlie Ngatai syndrome

We all agree that if we lose against this Wallabies side Razor should be sacked?
The gloss has well and truly come off and all the hype around Robertson has turned out to be, well, hype.
But I say stick with him as a new coach needs more time. Also (broken record alert) I think there are way deeper problems with NZ rugby affecting the ABs than just the coach. That said, we need a review of his tenure so far to see what's missing, if he needs support and also start asking questions on if he's really up to Test rugby or how much more time he needs.
As @Hooroo says, worst scenario is 2 thumping wins over the Wobbles which paper over the cracks.

Looking at this squad, I think the strongest loose forward trio is now Cane at 6, Sititi at 8 and Dalton at 7. Savea as an impact sub.
Warrior Sam will be gone end of year so there's an argument to look to the future and give Lakai a shot against Oz - poss. from the bench.

Something like:
Williams, Taylor, Lomax, S. Barrett, Vaa'i, Wallace, Papalii, Sotutu, Ratima, DMac, Clarke, J. Barrett, Proctor, Jordan, Love
Aumua, De Groot, Newell, Darry, Cane, Hotham, Plummer, R.Ioane
If Blackadder is fit I can't see him not being in the side. The biggest problem I have with this team though is why there's only one player with just his first name used. Baffling.

@Bones I'm blaming last night's Scotch.
The thing that really hurt was it's easier to type Sititi than Wallace.
Not true. It auto corrects to Sotutu if you’re not careful and the wrong guy might get selected

He's the emerging new Ngatai
Yeah I already said that earlier

This talk of sacking Razor is madness.
Yep we’ve lost too many games for anyones liking, however i can see clear improvement in tactics and the way we’re playing.
He’s slowly but surely bringing in fresh talent, though I’d like him to be a bit more ruthless with some of the underperforming senior players.
Boks are a good side, with the majority having been together for years, know how to win (much like our 2011-2015 ABs teams.
It’s not all doom and gloom, if we’re still making the same mistakes and losing close games in another 12 months then it’ll need a re-think.
Well it's clearly in the context of the last few years where there were constant calls to sack Fozzie even after he managed to not lose a RC at all.
The posters who were ready to string him up can't complain now when the same standards are being applied to the Messiah.
I'm not sure I'm seeing this "clear" improvement you can see.
(This is not me saying he should be sacked, just pointing out that in the context of the Fern over the last few years it's not as "madness" as you may think).
Foster had greater players and worse tactics against weaker teams.

Hard disagree . He needs to be held to account the same as any other international coach. If Surf Jesus can't lead the ABs to win this game, he should be gone.
Based on the Wallaby performance last night I don't think that's unreasonable

Fuck imagine if Schmidt did sneak one over razor though. I'd buy a desk just so I could flip it over.
There's some right good deals at IKEA

Do you remember the time we didn't have a front row, mid field and JB put on the wing.
Leading the world champs until the 65 min mark in both SA tests.
I'll take it.We are steadily finding keepers. Williams, Vaai, Sititi, Ratima We are building

I'll take it.I remember the time not so long ago when we showed some rugby smarts to beat the world champs and the no.1 team in the world - and when we won the RC.
Now we think beating Argentina at home is progress and secretly wondering if the 8th-placed team in the world will put one over us.

And the worrying thing is that is quite plausible

I love how you tell us what we are thinking when you just made it up.
