[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 916075, member: 76427"] The name being bandied about is Jake White, though i am skeptical he'll do any better. At some point your **** results have to mean your job, even if there isn't a better replacement. Has to be some accountability. And who cares about being competitive with the All Blacks? It's irrelevant. Even at our absolute peak where we had best players in the world in key positions we were only competitive with you for 4 maybe 5 of the last 30+ years. It's just a stupid metric. You will continue to win 95% of your matches and the majority of all major competitions you compete in. I'm more concerned with our performances against England, Ireland, Scotland, South African and Argentina. These are teams that we should be capable of competing with, and we have the playing stock to do so. 2015 proves this. We just aren't utilizing it. Deans is another issue completely. He had a far better team than Cheika and was far more competitive. I agree that he got sacked unfairly and i also agree that it was entirely because we kept comparing ourselves to the All Blacks. Which, again, is stupid. It doesnt help that we have to play you lot 3 times a year. Anyway, this is quite off track. Springboks by 15. [/QUOTE]
