But a 21 points did not happen - so dream on.

I worry about what the AB's are doing at training or the lack there of.

I worry about our whole focus and tactics to be honest.

The current lot are just not up to it.

We are getting sick to death of AB yellow / red cards.

And I think they have far too many coaches and we are going no where.

No excuses for our shockingly poor performances.

Lets get real - The AB's making the world cup final was a shock - For the last 7 years we just have not been up to it and they just don't seem to be learning.

If there is 1 thing one can guarantee from the AB's at present - Yellow or red cards and this has become a shockingly bad habit - Playing a man down just does not cut it.

And most Kiwi's are not making excuses - They know that the AB's have been very, very poor.

Yeah Clarke's yellow almost cost you the game today, and it was cynical and deliberate just like the yellow against the Boks for blocking the chaser. Lucky to have the Aussie try disallowed that followed right after.

The hole the AB's created by pushing SA and Argentina out of Super Rugby is hitting em hard in two ways, nmely -

*    the level of play and opposition the AB player encounterd has been drastically reduced and they in reality face only interanal opposition - so the quality developing of players for intational rugby has been detrimentally effeted; and

*    the income the Rugby Union received has dwindled and that caused potental All Black players to move to Europe and Japan - which Rugby New Zealand disqualified from playing for New Zealnd.

At least the above two issues have been raised in the NZ media and in discusson prgrams on rugby issues on TV programs.   So New Zeald Rugby has shot theselves in the foot and now the essults became clearer.

Another issue s that the NZ commentators call the player reources of the Springboks crazy and that indicates to me that the AB reources are shrinking - together with the new Woke Culture that remove compitiveness as useless in what they believe in removal of  nation states and remove the pride in themselves in New Zealand,    They sing their national anthem before matches - that include "God help New Zealand" - but since most of our siite members from Austalia and New Zealand are athiests  there is indeed nobody that would help them.
