Scott Robertson: 'There's so much good stuff that we did out there'

Heard on SM that Beaudie played with a quad injury🧐 Now Razor’s picking injured players🤦

If Razor thinks that’s so much good, then I would hate to see what a tired and underwhelming performance looks like, as he clearly has different standards to others.

The forwards are potentially better than 2023, the backline is substandard. Both sit with Razor and collectively it isn’t good enough. That would be a better assessment for where the AB’s are at the moment.

Disgraceful to see an AB side sacrifice a 12 point lead and capitulate yet again. Several players and even the coaching staff are now on notice to get their acts together and rectify the areas of the game where they consistently fail. Can’t recall a season where the ABs have lost to 3 different opponents previously.

Not really SR

Take a deep hard breath Razor and try and be honest with yourself

It was a decent start with two well taken tries

From there it definitely was not lots of good stuff

In fact quite the opposite

England were always going to be prepared for this specific game and it seems we weren’t

Do not roll out the same side next week to let players finish on a high

Start the bench guys and add …sounds like a broken record now

Guys like Love

Tangitau and Fakatava offer more than Ratima and Carter

Start Taukei’aho with Bell on the bench

He needs to seriously think about with either Scott and Beauden are part of the 23 moving forward now

It’s time to take calculated risks. England got their tails up and the ABs were simply unacceptable yesterday

We’ve gotten used to Robertson’s post-match speeches by now — the ones that don’t mean anything and bring nothing to the table.

He’s a poor technician, and in any case a very bad communicator who doesn’t take responsibility.

The All Blacks were thoroughly outplayed yesterday, and they’re even lucky the score stopped at 33 for England.

I’ve supported this team for 30 years and thought I’d already seen the worst with Foster (before Ryan and Schmidt patched things up), but I think Robertson is even worse! Foster wasn’t a great technician, but he was a better communicator and, above all, he was appreciated by his players — a sort of father figure. Robertson, from what I see, is not appreciated by his players in the same way.

In any case, NZR has everything it needs to make the only decision that makes sense today: part ways with Scott Robertson. Keeping him just to save a few hundred thousand NZ dollars will come at the expense of sporting results over the next two years. We can already write off the tour of South Africa, which will be a guaranteed disaster, and as for the Rugby World Cup, let’s not even think about it.

The All Blacks won’t be capable of anything with this coach.

And if unfortunately they decide to keep him (which is still likely) and put him under the supervision of new assistants, there’s no guarantee it will work. It helped Foster, but Robertson seems to have an enormous ego and doesn’t look capable of questioning himself. It would be a bad solution.

Oh.goodness

..

it true the ABs could have won this, but the real truth is England were better and most of all wanted it more. Disappointing for a hard core fan like me but credit where credit is due. Beauden’s errors could be a sad end to a great career.

The AB’s butchered some small margin penalty options and England were unlucky not to have won by a wider points margin than 14…

No excuses… the AB’s lost and George Fords masterclass redeemed him after his efforts last year…Respect.. England and G.F..

Anywho, there are a few fatigued and walking wounded AB’s so I expect at least 5+ changes being made for next weekends game vs Wales and Beaudy will be one of them… so DMac at #10 and for mine Rueben Love to cover off the bench…or not…

10 is wide open imo somebody’s gotta grab it by the nutz this Super with errors that Beaudie and Dmac are naking Love is not really a risk and he is better at back than both of them and better than most under high ball should be on bench at the least

With better wingers and or acceptance that Love is fine to start at 15 with a Jordan move no more Leicester on the wing he is a 13 and or a 12 and or that bench guy , Jordie is the other lock in, QT and Proctor have had their moments nice hands today but defensively and punch both sides of the ball got questions not sold, Proctors workrate scramble high ball work did show up, Reiko defense speed size in collisions I reckon could still be valuable ….Ennor looking good but can he stay out of injury ward can say Lam find form? Tavatavanawai come back stronger?

Razor replace Hansen and other coaches who are out of their depth before you get replaced.

Still believe you can make it but after two years, you need to change something proactively (vs waiting for injuries and resignations)

Reckon there is some low hanging fruit for ABs better aerial wingers Fihaki Nanai-Seturo JRK Narawa bit bigger and all can kick add in a Tangitau elite speed and Clarke a lock in at 11 when fit far more potent offering get more for less

I don’t think the fans will buy anything that this man says.

1. Razor is here to stay. so let's get behind him

2.No board reviews. In the new year Razor sits down with David Kirk for 2 days...no computers or power points. Just honest conversations and Razor understanding what is best for ABs from here. See John Kirwan chat with David Kirk recently. Razor has to leave his ego at the door

3. Start again with his coaching group. Apart from Ryan it's not working

4. Focus entirely on Springbok series.

5. An honest appraisal sees Scooter dropped. Ardie in

6. Get our young front rowers 20% better than they are now. A Mike Cron type is needed

7. Moaunga is going to be 10, but we still need a backup and it's not any of current options

8. Get the midfield stable and sorted. We are close there

9. Steghthen wings and pick only players who can handle high ball...Narawa, Caleb

Razor is clutching at straws with comments like that.

Blunt Razor says:

“There's so much good stuff that we did out there”….

Except the one thing that matters, you toffee….. WIN!!!!

Roberstson is a club coach, at best, who is completely out of his depth in test rugby.

Pretty sad when a coach admits he’s all out of ideas.
