Why NZ teams failing in 2010 Super 14
Why are NZ teams struggling in the 2010 Super 14….hmmm
1) Bad coaching : YES, most coaches are still trying to play the loose game. Whereas our South African friends with their extra large men are playing are more tight forward game, and keeping the fatties out of the back line. I put the Blues and Chiefs on this list.
2) Injury: Well this is a factor, but the same for all teams.
3) Player exodus: Well this is also a factor however, same for the SANZAR countries so neutral effect there.
4) ELV Hang over: I guess this is also in (1), but wake up mauls are back. This is one factor Hanson (ABs coach) fails at.
5) Missing Penalty Kicks: Well the Chiefs take first prize here. Donald just doesnt have too many good days there days.
6) Just below par: I would say the Highlanders have never been in the running.
The Blues are awful, Pat Lam coaching days must be numbered.
