Dear Robbie

Congratulations on reaching your 50th Test as Coach of the Wallabies.

Can I start by saying what a choice job you've been doing since you first started working for New Zealand Rugby in 2008. It has been a long-term task, but the plan to ensure the All Blacks win the World Cup at home in 2011 is coming together perfectly.
...
My idea of getting you to be hired by Australian Rugby as their national coach and then sabotage the Wallabies from within, in my own modest opinion, was an absolute masterstroke.

While our plan had many doubters, I always knew in my heart that the Aussies would fall for it. After reaching 50 tests as coach on the weekend, I think its only fitting to mention what I think is your top 10 highlights of sabotage to date:

1. Losing to Ireland
2. Giving Rocky the captaincy of the country he hadn't played for in over two years, then stripping it off him right before the World Cup
3. Losing to Scotland
4. Not even getting close to winning the Bledisloe Cup back
5. Not picking a backup for Pocock in the World Cup squad
6. Never using the Wallaby bench effectively
7. Not having a back-up game plan
8. Using words like "contest, willing, collision, contact-zone, adaptation" to describe rugby
9. Losing to Samoa
10. Winning only 54% of all your games as coach of historically one of the most successful teams in Rugby

I can't believe after all this they then extended your contract for a further two years?!?!?! How they didn't work out our plan after you coached them to 10 Bledisloe cup losses in a row is full credit to you and were all very proud of you back at home bro.

Well done once again and as planned we'll see you at Richie's after the World Cup to celebrate pulling the wool over the Aussies' eyes.

Cheers
Graham Henry
 
Dear New Zealand,

lets not get ahead of ourselves again, it's still the pool stages of the tournament.

Yours sincerely,

Your older and wiser big brother, Australia.

p.s. looking out for you as always little bro X

Both masterpieces ;). Great thread and great reply :D.
 
Add to that list

- Starting an almost entirely new pool of world class players in O'Connor, Cooper, Pocock etc
- Winning the 2011 Tri Nations
- Maintaining a similar win percentage to Eddie Jones (57%)
 
Yeah, Deans has gutted the side and put in place the foundations of a very young and talented side that can grow together and become the best side in the world consistently.
If you look at this core of players he has formed, these players are all under 24 and will go into 2015 with WC experience:
Slipper, Simmons, Fainga twins, Pocock, McCalman, Genia, Phipps, Cooper, Horne, McCabe, O'Connor, Beale

He has also included the likes of Brackin Karauia-henry, Kane Douglas, Nathan Charles, Richard Kingi, Ben Daley, Dave Dennis, Matt Toomua ect into the Wallabies environment so they will be able to slot in smoothly as players retire.

Sure they could have hired a coach that persisted with Giteau, Baxter, Mortlock etc, and they probably would have a better winning percentage, but they wouldnt be in the same position for the future as Deans has put them in..

Come 2015, they will go in as favourites.

So in other words he's no worse than any other Wallaby coach since 2002.

Oh, scratch that, he was the first one in almost a decade to win the Tri Nations with his gutted and rebuilt side.
 
Sorry forgot to add, always amused by South Africans-once a rugby powerhouse-now 0-3 against who?

Still a rugby powerhouse.

You've had our number the last 2 years it's true but lets talk again after the QF. While you guys have been building towards a new squad we have been grasping onto an old one (that beat the AB's 3-0 in 2009 BTW) and these things go round in circles so don't get too ahead of yourself as well...
 
Fair call, I just get ****** off with NH posters who lack a grasp of the 15 man game. Still looking forward to the quarter final. Hopefully we got our one crap performance behind us.
