Steve Hansen inherited Graham Henry's once in a generation team. He did nothing with it.
We've been poor for the past three years.
Flat track bullies who were owned by Ireland and England.
Like John Mitchell in 2003 he was out of ideas so he went with the hot Super Rugby team. And he selected a lot of duds. Bridge, Scott Barrett, Reece, Mounga. Discarded experience and selected mediocrity. Also like Mitchell he's an arrogant tool who likes to criticize players in public. I hope Ioane and Luatua are having some bitter laughs.
I can sort of imagine you ejaculating as you write. Like you’ve been waiting for a loss so you can beat your little drum. Pathetic

@Billy-Tell I've been saying it for three years. His flaws are obvious.

Rubbish, he and others have been worried about this all year. Nobodies happy we lost, but we are frustrated at the predictability of it

Ah the wise in hindsight brigade. Post me your pre match predictions...or no one will believe you.

@Billy-Tell I picked NZ to lose this tournament.
-
Hansen had the squad to win the WC, he was just out coached by Eddie, simple as that. Hansen is still a good coach and did plenty for NZ rugby. I’m putting a full stop on his era and looking forward to the next one.
This is the frustration of it all. If we had to play again next week I would back us to adjust and win semi-comfortably.
What has become predictable is the requirement for wake up call after wake up call...

@Kirwan Exactly. And dropping Ioane and Cane was really aggravating.
Every 50/50 selection call had a Crusader bias too.
Seriously?!
This is the conspiracy theory nut job stuff.
Hansen has even been saying as much the past few weeks. "Even the guys that haven't played a lot of rugby have experience playing big finals games for the Crusaders etc etc."
I don't think he is doing it out of myopia like Deans in 2002/3 but he for sure has drunk the Crusader's kool-aid this year.

Bridge, Reese, stupid Barrett at 6, Richie over BB at ten, broken Read persisted with, Taylor over Coles.
Each selection went the Crusaders way.

and it likely cost NZ another RWC. Its essential that NZ selects a head coach that is seen as being a fair selector where any players gets a fair go regardless of team. And stacking the team with 9 Crusaders starters does not achieve this. Henry did it (being seen as fair). As did Smith.

@reprobate 5 to 1 in our examples, and still persisted with Franks for two years when he was rubbish.
