I have played, coached and watched Rugby for 74 years. I have seen 171 Test Matches in the flesh here and overseas. The passion has gone out of our players. On Saturday versus Scotland the forwards wandered up to lineouts and scrums as the clock ticked down. There was no urgency in their play. Kuidrani is not a centre he never sets up his winger and his passes when he does are poor.. We kicked the ball back to Scotland when we should have retained it. Don’t we learn anything from the current N.Z style. They show keeness to get on with the game and only kick when their is a definite chance of scoring. They have quick lineouts and are always trying to keep the opposition guessing.Hooper is a great player but not a great leader. Why not play Haylett Petty at full back and Folau in the centres. Kuidrani is a winger. Hanigan is not robust enough as a backrower. Our current hookers are on the way out why not play Leota or Ready. Foleys kicking game is poor. nowhere Barret’s standard. What we need is a Captain who drives the team to do things quickly and keep the pressure on the opposition. Regards John Short
