I am a huge All Black fan from South Africa. I’ve taken the All Blacks to heart since way back in 1970 at the age of seven and have never seen a Kiwi side play as poorly as they did in South Africa this weekend.

Where is the robust forward play, the sucking in of the opposition, and then, wham, hit them on the break with the backs?

It’s okay for my team to lose, but the manner of their capitulation is of grave concern. If that is the kind of influence Graham Henry is inspiring, then he must go urgently.

What are the All Blacks doing trying to run the ball from their own tryline? That’s a huge underestimation of the opposition. And the less said about the handling and discipline in Pretoria and Durban the better.

What can the Kiwis offer back home?

A good start to effect the turn-around is to dispose of the glum Henry and his entire management team.
