Hiding alright. Bring back John Mitchell, creative tries, fast men getting the ball in space... what have we got now? Utter nonsense. Because Mitchell wasn't a media suckhole we've lost a damn good coach. I give the NZRFU a season before they realise that being a media suckhole isn't the main role of the All Blacks coach.

Flat style? Onya Henry! Onya NZRFU.

John Mitchell must feel a lot better today. He was sacked by a a bunch of stuffy narks bloated on sherry with no idea of modern rugby. I hope their leather patches drop off.

Well at the end of the day he can choose to drop the flat attack if he chooses but he wants to do things his way. Henry doesn't coach the forwards, he doesn't coach the backs, what exactly does he do?

You may have beaten us, but we still have the Bledisloe.


SA by 2 - 30-28

Gees I hate narks.

Cold comfort I'm afraid. Last in the tri nations and thus far only four tries as opposed to the other two with ten each.

Do you get a trophy for scoring 10 tries?? If you can't win this weekend, I know which trophyless team will be experiencing cold comfort.

Mitchell should have never been coach in the first place; Wayne Smith lost three tests by less than ten points so he was automatically a complete failure :roll:
NZ created chances to score on the weekend but the backs handling skills were nothing short of amateurish, it was disgusting

The sooner the NZ public (and the NZRFU) start NOT calling for the coach's head when the AB's lose a game, the better. Give the poor guys a chance.

Mitchell lost 2 games....he's out.....now NZ'ers are wondering why their team isn't playing well. Cohesion and playing like a well oiled machine doesn't happen overnight. If I was in charge, I would have kept Mitchell in and I reckon the AB's would have won all 4 games this year.

Henry isn't the answer.

Henry chose Wayne Smith and gives the tick of approval for any major tactics. Don't tell me unlike John Mitchell he's not accountable?

What chances? We were camped in our own 22 eating nachos and dip most of the game. Guys like Carl Hayman were receiving better ball than our speed demons. Miliaina took advantage of a Springbok error and Rocko used force to bust over, it wasn't the tactics that put him in the clear.

Its also not just about the size of losses Thrash, its the way the team plays. The way the All Blacks played under John Mitchell was outstanding and enterprising.

Deadset, those tactics they are employing are awful. Nothing short of amatuer. The sooner they get John Mitchell back the better.

Maybe if Mitchell didnt make such an idiot out of himself whenever he opened his mouth he probley would still be coach, our forwards have also improved ALOT this year especially our tight five.

If the All Blacks lose against the Lions Henry will be forced out of his coaching position and Steve Hansen will become the fifth All Blacks coach in ten years.

I never said that but you are blaming EVERYTHING on Graham Henry.
His overall record is far superior to Mitchell's but the flat backline is not working, I think he's taken the hint by the public and critics.
