[QUOTE="rusty_lock, post: 692366, member: 43030"] I haven't been this discouraged with our NSMT since then end of our November tour 2008. This team is in complete shambles and only getting worse. I think it is optimistic to assume a win over Romania in the RWC. The backs, which has been our strength for the last few years, are completely without a plan. If someone can issolate just one example of back play, from the siht show, that show backs running into space or being given a pass while running a good line I'll buy you dinner. The scrum was shocking after Marshall went off. Why in H E L L didn't Crowley take the Tidybowl man out and put Woolridge in. It surely couldn't have gone any worse. After the second time he got folded in half and elevated right up and out of the scrum it was obvious to even a middleschool volleyball coach he wasn't up to the job. There wasn't a single individual performance out there that can provide even a glimmer of hope. It's a sad day for Rugby in Canada. I think the whole setup needs a rethink and decisive action needs to be taken. There is no prospect of this team beating anyone in the top 20 for the foreseeable future. In the Rugby Canada write up of the game this sentence sticks out to me. This is a complete load of nonsense. Except for the occasional touch by Hassler and DTH there is no speed and the word dynamic must have a very different meaning in Jeff Hull's world than in mine. I've watched high school teams with more dynamism in their back line than what was on offer today in Bucharest. That's the end of my rant. I just can't believe what I have witnessed for the last 3 weeks. [/QUOTE]
