I hope so ( England causing an upset )
But I can’t help but think england beating Fiji in a close one one week , are about to find out the boks are on a different level .

I know no one gives a fufu but the two questions remain.
- What happened to the ABs over the last 4 years
- How did we end up with this WC draw

@Bones My reply was sort of tongue in cheek. But it does cut out any miscommunication between coach and player. The whispering into radios seems a bit redundant when time is of the essence and no way to get the player word easily.
Ok I see, but pretty concerning he has no faith in his players to know what decisions to make on the field.
Beaver on radio was saying his South African mates have told him Rassie coaches the team in military fashion, what he says goes and pollard in particular is a little on the outer for questioning his methods at times .

@kiwiinmelb yeah it's pretty weird a team of adult, seasoned rugby players need daddy to make decisions for them.

French don’t like the argies.
Interesting, do you know why?

There’s real bad blood from previous matches thru the ages. 2007 for example. The vast majority of French are now supporting NZ.

So, no idea if it's been covered elsewhere - but what the fuck is the deal with Rassie's lights? Why not use a radio?
Yes it was mentioned.

@Rancid-Schnitzel why can't he take the bottles on the pitch? Is it just the lights are quicker?

As in their form leading up to this comp?

Lots of things. On the slide since 2017 but I think the key has been the players' confidence and loyalty to the coaching staff, new forwards coach in Ryan and Joe Schmidt agreeing to get more involved. Sam Cane & snr players deserve huge credit too.

And I reckon Foz’s perseverance in sticking with the core team and supporting their learning from the mistakes/poor performance /discipline has been another factor.
