[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 828014, member: 74322"] I think SCW had a single focus and that was winning the RWC. Afterward, he and then Robinson refused to put some of the old guys out to pasture when they probably should have - at the time it looked like a good way to transition but they weren't brave enough at crucial times and that really screwed up the succession planning. Also wasn't helped by JW spending pretty much the entire time between the 2 world cups broken. During the time he lost he would have become a key focal point for the side imho and when 2007 came, they expected him to be a senior player when in actual fact he'd played barely any rugby for 4 years. As much as I enjoyed the 2007 WC, I still can't really understand how we made the final. [/QUOTE]
