[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1111704, member: 65365"] Actually the vast majority of people shouting their heads off in support of razor one hundred percent think there is absolutely no way the all blacks wouldn't win the World Cup if he was the coach. Just read the thousands of comments on any stuff article. You might see some more rational views somewhere, but they are not the norm. That's because Blackadder was a terrible coach for most of that time. Although, with those amazing players and some good assistants (particularly mauger being given a larger role in attack) in his last year in charge, blackadder did more like as should be expected. Which also meant razor adopted a strong side. Razor did still win when the new players came through, so there is no doubt he is a good coach. But how good? Especially considering how important the maul and set piece have been (which you can thank Ryan for) and how many games have been rescued by mounga. Still, the main job of a head coach at the highest level is to get the teams mentality right imo, and I don't think you can doubt he is good at that. Would I choose him over a Joseph brown combo? Not sure. Will be interesting to see if brown stays loyal to Joseph or just agrees to join any coaching team. I think he could work well with razor. [/QUOTE]
