Mark Robinson as CEO has endured the worst era I’ve seen from the ABs during his leadership. All problems should point directly to him.

Couch

Can we please bring in Jamie Joseph to the AB coaching team?

He’ll whip those boys into shape.

And everything to do with our starting tight five being owned all over the park. We did well to be leading at halftime if, as you say, our tight five was being owned all over the park. It's almost as if you're being hysterical? Are you being serious? They were going backwards in EVERY scrum feed. W...

NZ vs Eng in the final would make some great theatre.

Hopefully we can get past Canada who have some flair out there too

Couch

Our loss last night had nothing to do with who’s at 10. And everything to do with our starting tight five being owned all over the park. Our reserves not adding any benefit. Our back 3 technical abilities in the air. Our lack of game plan in general seems like a mix of random kicks and throwing the ...

Catch the box kicks and have a functioning lineout we probably stay in that game and manage to exert our own pressure which would fatigue the boks Box kick seems to be the default play in NZ rugby for static ball but we also don’t seem to take it that seriously with any sort of coordination or deve...

No one cares bro

This guy was a religious pseudo intellectual nut job unlike Jordan Peterson who is an actual intellectual that doesn’t provoke and race bait to win an argument. Guys like Patrick Bet David are calling him the next Martin Luther King? Just wow. The amount of far right political vomit this guy was spi...

So when are we going to talk about Scott Barrett’s leadership? We clearly lost our focus in the second half. Should he be dropped or at the very least not be captain? I thought Ardie should have been captain from 2020 onwards. For all of the talk about Scott Barrett's superior intelligence to Ardie...

Couch

We lack the forwards that can provide fast ball. We are losing the set piece battle. And our backs are playing conservative to a fault. We overplay our hand by passing wide without earning it. And our defense is weak. So many areas we need to work on but we gave Razor the benefit of the doubt, now h...

It needs to be burnt to the ground and the ruins sowed with salt.

With the team still inside it including coaches?

Are you friends with Schmidt? nah just when the ABS lose someone always says from NZ ..is ...the coach gone ):):: If that pass from Ardie to the winger at the start of the second half didn't go forward.. and NZ score... I think we see a totally different game... the Boks scored straight after... an...

We got prison gaped out there. What an embarrassment from an Ab fans perspective. Sorry we couldn’t even put up a fight.

Congrats springboks fans you guys truely outclassed us tonight. I’ve never seen a Bok side with so much pace and power before. Just a sight to behold.

Couch

The fact the wallabies can’t beat us twice in a row makes no sense to Grant a third match (unless they are worthy of it) win a World Cup this century and we may reconsider.

Couch

What’s with the Reuben Love hate from certain no name posters?

The guy is barely legal and people are threatened by his mere existence. The insecurities are sure showing in some. Perhaps some therapy would help, maybe Will Jordan could use some hypnotherapy to help him forget he has tits for hands?

Couch

Phew what a brutal match. Our tight five got owned in the 2nd half. Yikes. I’ll take the win tho

I’m hoping for an ugly win, cmon boys let’s do it for Ardie!

Couch

I remember getting a serious concussion playing club rugby, and stupidly ignoring it the whole night while enjoying a night out in town. The pain was excruciating later. I feel for his family, gone way too soon.

RIP

You’ve got to ask the question is Scott Barrett worthy of the Captaincy?

Holland is by and large outplaying him on the field. And his decision making and leadership should seriously be under scrutiny. Discipline is a huge problem for this team and he fails to rally the guys in and lay the law down.

Couch

The backline just isn't clicking or improving.

Scott may need to go as he picked him first.

Even I wouldn’t pick him.

But you were ok with him when he was dragging his partner by her hair down the road…

I hate Sevu Reece as a player, a man, his haircut etc. Fk you on about?

Couch

Jordan is a quality player but tonight. His technique under the high ball was amateurish at best. We miss an aerial king maker 15/14 combo. Jordan and Reece are not it. Jordie should have switched as an audible as his handling is much better imo. Selections were wrong this game. That’s all on the co...

Did Parker play tonight??? He was invisible for 55mimutes

Couch

Will Jordan having a shocker out there. Butter fingers

Couch

Ioane doesn’t even try to jump at box kicks smh

Barrett still using chip kicks when it’s not on.

Couch

I think we should hand the kicking duties to Jordie from here on in

Couch

Softest penalty ever

We are humming now without Ratima

Nothing to do with the halfback.
Everything to do with showing some urgency ball in hand.

Yes it does. Ratima would have take an extra second of two to look around, he’s terrible at this level

Ratima is the problem. He’s a step behind every ruck and can’t keep up with the pace of the game

Couch

Ratima needs to go back to NPC.

All I know is TVNZ+ app is 1000000x better than that shit storm of a sky app.

Reece is the only back that can’t play 2 or more positions in this squad.

He is taking away valuable development time

Couch

Fair to say that the much hyped Billy Proctor hasn't been good so far in 2025? Hurricanes fans have been demanding that he be the AB's starting centre all year, and he's so far done absolutely nothing except make mistakes, miss tackles and concede yellow cards. Time to admit that the Proctor experi...

Couch

Beauden is so pedestrian he throws hospital after hospital

Couch

Sevu Reece has to be the slowest wing in NZ surely???

Ratima will need to have a blinder to keep his spot imo, he’s never impressed me at this level at all.
