[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 680393, member: 44360"] If you thought we were being harsh on Crowley PD(and maybe we are, this could be a bit of a rough patch in an otherwise good tenure), here's BC Rugby News [B]BEFORE[/B] the Argentina game. Some of the following is very OTT. [URL="http://www.bcrugbynews.com/show_news.cfm?ID=1363"]http://www.bcrugbynews.com/show_news.cfm?ID=1363[/URL] "We sit at an all time low in the iRB rankings, our U20 team almost came last in Tier 2 last year and may not make Tier 2 this year if they don't beat the USA, we've just lost to the Americans twice at the ARC, our home tournament. What does it take to admit something is wrong? Before looking at the players you have to look at management, from the top right down to the coaches and selectors. There's this stubborn arrogance that permeates their decision making which includes continuing to flog the CRC as the saviour of Canadian rugby. This all-star CRC team proves that it's not working, yet they refuse to consider alternatives. The use of McRorie again at #10 is another example of stubbornness winning out over common sense, even the guy sweeping the aisles at the stadium knew this was a bad idea after the first game, yet rather than look at alternatives they dove right back in. Someone is getting paid good money to make these decisions. The current kiwi management team of Chu, Lancaster and Crowley would rather see players who show promise go over and play 3rd division in Ubakistan than play in the BC Premier. On the other hand Seattle placed 6 players on team USA and they can't get enough BC Rugby. Changes are needed. It won't come from management, they've had time to show their colours and they're going backwards. It's up to the Directors to shake things up before they get out of hand. I don't want Canada referred to as a 3rd Tier nation." [/QUOTE]
