Razor Robertson gone?

[IT157]

multiple back to back super and NPC titles....his CV was as good as it gets short of already being proven on the interneational stage

everything im reading tells me he has to go, done himself no favours...BUT....its not just on him, talk of getting pressure to select BB because NZR had bent over backwards to give him a new contract through the next world cup, a cohort of established players that liked fozzie and had been fighting to keep him in the job that might not have liked someone coming in and wanting to change things

Haha, I know. He did really well in Super Rugby. In all fairness I think he should have been given more time with the New Zealand job. New Zealand are not as dominant as they once were but they are still one of the top teams in the world. Their previous dominance was ridiculous. South Africa who are regarded as the top team in the world now only beat New Zealand by (checks notes) point difference in the Rugby Championship last year. When New Zealand won, they would sometimes go unbeaten at their absolute peak. I think the All Blacks demise is greatly exaggerated by many. The way some people talk about them you would think they are on a tier with Scotland.

he was his own worst ememy by all accounts, started with selling himself on change, going to bring through the future like the Crusaders academy has done for decades...and yet we saw largely the same old faces trying the same old tricks...also sold everyone on having this amazing team culture...only for the board to receive multiple damning complaints, squad firmly divided into factions....double standards everywhere, EDG was stood down for a week after missing curfew and then when another player missed curfew they started

for me its not the actual results....its obviously the losses we could have / should have won...but lots of wins were ugly...moment of individual brilliance saving us and lots of fans i now just havent enjoyed watching the AB's over the last several years...ugly, messy, headless chook type rugby

no change in results and all the off field issues.....cant see an argument to keep him
