Jamie Wall

This is such a great message.

Can I suggest you ask Shag to narrate a series of bedtime audio books for us anxious All Blacks fans?

It's from Brendan in Ballarat in Victoria.

It was great talking to Shag.

And part of the thing I really liked about talking to him, Jamie, was that just a guy who's got so much experience, he's looking from afar.

He's been to one All Black test since he stopped being the All Black coach in seven years.

Right?

One.

But he loves the game.

He loves the All Blacks.

And he was just reassuring in that, you know, just to calm the farm and not panic.

that yes, we're a little bit behind the eight ball at the moment, and I know that everyone's screaming about what we should do to catch up to the South Africans and everything else, but he's also confident that we can find solutions here, that we can actually, we've always been a country that's thought outside the square.

Our players can be good enough.

A dysfunctional All Black side ends up being number two or three in the world last year.

What a connected All Black side might be able to achieve.

I align with him on this.

I think that we always look for everything that's going wrong in our sport,

and especially with the All Blacks because we are just so on them in terms of their performances and having to win and everything else.

But I'm not so sure it's as bad as a lot of us or a lot of people think it is as bad as.

The second half in Wellington was terrible.
