[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 647574, member: 61403"] Well yes, John Callard is a massive waste of space as a coach but Henry Slade still managed to look good at the weekend despite being in coached by him. The poor standard of coaching and game plan will effect how the team as a whole performs but I think it still allowes for individuals to play well. Burns has clearly had a massive drop in confidence and his form has fallen off a cliff. He ended the season play out of position with his 19 year old brother having taken his place! A player just doesn't bounce back from that kind of loss of form in four weeks. I have no doubt that we'll see him at his best again, but its going to take a lot of hours on the training ground and plenty of game time to produce that. I don't think him starting against NZ at Eden Park is going to help that process or increase our chance of winning. [/QUOTE]
