What do we do with the All Blacks
the all blacks lost another semi final
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the all blacks lost to australia on sat. It was a game which must have done wonders for the new zealand marijuana economy as rugby fans all tried to escape the horrible reality of it all. Aaaaaah!
Anyway, something drastic is bound to happen in nz rugby. Here are a couple of suggestions:
1) Fire john mitchell. All his crap about a ‘journey’ obviously didn’t work. Beyond that facade of being the stereo typical dumbarse lock forward, i wonder if he’s actualy clever enough to regret not picking mehrtens and cullen ( i love hindsight). Someone like merhts who can actualy kick drop goals could’ve come in handy when we couldn’t score tries. john, there’s being ‘different’ and ‘controversial’, then there’s just being plain ‘stoopid’!
2) I heard this wonderful concept on radio sport when i woke up this morning…Richie McCaw for captain. I concur. The ab’s problem over the last five years has been that none of the captains were actualy the best in their positions. Richie definitely is and he leads by example.
Discuss.

bring back buck
and graeme henry for coach
I’ve heard of rugby
Thats that game where you smack the ball off a tee with a baseball bat right?
Thank you for your intelligent comments richface. I agree with you on both counts. Graham Henry has apparently applied for the job of All Black coach so we’ll see what happens on that front.
Computer nerds who don’t like rugby need not comment on my posts. Matthew has asked me to be his guest sports blogger for any visitors who actualy enjoy sports as well as computer screens and 3 1/2 inch floppys.
dear tim. I’m annoyed that we didn’t win the world cup when I feel that NZ was basically promised by Mitchell that we would. Part of me wants to keep him (so that we can build on what we have and gain experience) but part of me thinks that he is not a nice person and does not deserve to remain. Graham Henry seems to be a man with some skills and people seem to like him. How about him as coach with Mitchell as his assistant? Umaga should be captain (because of his experience and the fact that he is the best in his position) and a written public apology should be made to Cullen and Mehrtens.
incidentally, saturday night’s australia vs. england final was the first rugby game i can remember enjoying
Dave, I agree that Tana should definitely be captain. He’s not going to do any worse than Rueben Thorne and he’s one of the few players in the team guaranteed his position. I don’t think John M could handle being dropped to assistant coach, but it would probably be a good idea. I am also in two minds as to whether to keep him or not.
Matt, I’m so happy for you. Really really happy that you’re becoming a man.
