Waste of space. Too busy thinking about playing in Japan or France or
somewhere else. Can't kick goals, gets kicks charged down more often than
not and when they don't get charged they usually provide catching practice
for some opposition player under no pressure.

I'm not so sure that Robbie Deans has what it takes at this level either.

He could've washed it all away with that last kick though. Seriously
lacking BMT.

BMT? Is this another one we have to guess, and two weeks later we still
don't get *it*?

I agree that if he kicked the goal to win he would have washed it all away
but it was fitting in a way that he didn't. His form, particularly in the
past couple of years is poor. The team badly misses Berrick Barnes and they
need another goal kicker with a Dan Carter temperament (yeh, just like
that!).

I also agree that when it matters he chokes. I also rather suspect that the
captaincy issue has caused him to sulk as well. He will remain in the team
of course but whether his influence is good for the younger guys is
debatable, in my view.

Not really surprising didge was clueless on that one as well, was it?

Your'e a certified idiot, who must have been watching Rugby through his
arsehole for the last 4 or 5 years. Giteau did not have a great match, but
that will sometimes happen, particularly if the clown of a ref ignores off
side
and ruptured ball in shitty, wet conditions for 80 minutes.

I'm sure Deans will be worried that you're 'not sure' about his capacity to
coach.

Stay in the trees champ

Carter would have kicked that goal blindfolded

Eddie Jones never lost to the Scots


I think Deans has a lost/win ratio that succeeds most Australian coaches.


Look SA had Suzy so now NZ is preparing far in advance so we now have Robbie


This year looked so good with the players we had but Robbie has neutered
them


ok, we have had a horror run with injuries so maybe its time we followed the
NH lead and send our 3rd rate teams on tour up north

You're a student of the game aren't you? Giteau has played consistently
below the standard expected for some time now. If you are watching the same
game as me you would have seen his general kicking game lacking imagination
and the necessary skill to avoid his kicks being charged down.

I am also sick to death of people like you whinging about the fucking
referee. Get over it. Do you think that its just the Australians affected
by refereeing? You're problem is that you're clearly from the
Kearnes/Martin school of Aussie whingers. I will say that I'm an Aussie
supporter as well but try to keep my feet on the ground without resorting to
kindergarten analysis such as your's.

As for Dean's record....have a look at who we've played. Also make a
comment about the improvement to away wins. Not to mention the side's
complete inability to follow up a good game with another.

Go back to sleep imbecile.

So are you saying that the NZRU actually made the right decision not to
pick him for the ABs coach?

Sorta shaping up that way ain't it?

I'd love to be proved wrong and may well be when the WC comes around. But
for the moment Henry seems to be doing the job and Dean's isn't

Watch the England v NZ game, Carter missed two kicks from much better
positions, one of them was laughable.

Yes he did. He cut them off himself when he was a kid with a knife
and fishing line. To celebrate this he later became an Australian
citizen.
