On Netflix - behind the scenes of the last 6N

What strikes me is how fucking dull and boring Borthwick is 

The players don’t seem at ease with him. Headmaster and his schoolboys 

Feb 04, 2025, 19:02

Well he can’t help being dull and boring ! 
If we were winning, I couldn’t care less about his personality. 

The word is, he’s picking Fin at 10 and Marcus at 15 this week. That’s not boring……it’s a bit crazy.

Bullshit your coach needs personality, someone the players respect and enjoy being around - with that comes a winning culture 

Trust Borthwick to be stupid enough to waste one of the best 10’s in the game at fullback 

Feb 04, 2025, 20:55

You can respect a boring person. Let’s face it, Itoje is hardly laugh a minute but they allegedly respect him….

Feb 04, 2025, 22:05

That’s probably part of the problem - respecting Itoje

Watching Andy Farrell, now I can see why he is a good coach, he motivates and directs like a coach should 

Borthwick walks around like a someone with a splinter in their finger - never fucking smiles 

Feb 04, 2025, 22:09

I know. He’s a very serious man. 

Feb 04, 2025, 22:57

Becs, your lot need to wrap Smith in cotton wool and never let him go.

 

My word, he's good. For me, that's the guy you should be doing everything around and setting up for success because he's the one that makes things happen. I would keep him at 10, give him ad much ball as possible, and immediately drop anyone that cramps his style.

How many games has it been in a row now where he's the standout player. 

We're over the moon in SA that we have Fassi and Hannekom that keep delivering. But your guy keeps delivering at test level.

Smiling isn't a prerequisite. Fergie never did.

Oh I like Marcus, but he’ll probably be at 15 this week. Borthwick is quite keen on the idea. 
Have you seen much of Fin Smith ? He’s a good young prospect. Plays really well for my lot, Northampton. 

Feb 04, 2025, 23:04

It’s not a prerequisite but I can assure you players don’t like being a boring sour twat 

We have more than Fassi and Hanekom, we also have Roos, Willemse, Sacha, Moodie, Arendse and Kolbe 

And boy, I can’t wait for Jurenzo to force himself onto that list 

Marcus Smith is class 

Feb 04, 2025, 23:08

But this seasons, it's been only Fassi and Hannekom that have looked like superstars. 

The others are all injured, or being screwed around, like Moodie at the Bulls.

Feb 04, 2025, 23:20

True 

Feb 04, 2025, 23:42

Please pinch me…….are you and Plum agreeing on something ?! ;) 

Feb 04, 2025, 23:53

No:)

Feb 04, 2025, 23:57

You little liar ;) 

Feb 05, 2025, 00:01

Playing Marcus at 15 is the call of a coach out of his depth that should be sacked 

Feb 05, 2025, 00:30

Goodness knows what he’s going to do. Team is out on Thursday, I think.

The ABs never ever never thought about playing Carter anywhere else but 10.

Their selectors once infamously moved the Prince of fullbacks, C Cullen to centre, ultimately hastening the demise of a magnificent career.
