OK man it's everyone else's fault we kept picking the same players over and over again during the rebuilding phase we were supposedly going through (and still losing games). 

 

 

How about you spend less time being sarcastic, and more time reading what was written?

I clearly stated that Robertson did NZ a disservice in continuing to pick players that were struggling. I referenced DMAC, but I think most people can read between the lines, and see it went beyond that. 

 

Having said that, I also was clear that if fans weren't so over entitled, he may well have felt it was easier to lose games and spend more time on trying other options. 

 

There was, to my knowledge, never any comment made about an official rebuild and what that looked like for setting expectations on our win rate.  Other coaches have those conversations, including Rassie, and Eddie Jones.

I haven't been paying much attention to the ways the finals could come through, but it's absolutely bananas to me that the Blues could lose to the Crusaders, and still be in the top 4. I know it's an anomoly of the current format, but it seems somewhat likely we will have an all NZ top 4.

Without taunting the mockers, it will be a NZ top 4 without a doubt. Canes and Chiefs won't lose at home

What a pathetic first quarter final! Why bother flying 5 hours to put in a performance as limp as that? 

 

Switched off after 60 minutes should have switched off after 40.

 

I think James Slipper would be rightfully pissed that was the way he finished his career.
