[QUOTE="Isengard, post: 756736, member: 72456"] This is absolutely spot on! A good international quality manager would have developed a system or a series of systems which can be deployed against varying oppositions. These should be clearly communicated to the players. The All Blacks play a certain way and players brought in can slot in. Lancaster, because he has no real high level coaching experience had not developed a system. He had lots of ideas based on "the score will look after itself" and other jargon filled books but no actual practical experience. Therefore he has not developed a way of playing, a settled line up, etc. We need a coach who will come in with a way of playing. Who will pick his best available line up and stick with it, only replacing players when it is compelling to do so. Also they need to pick players who are good in their natural positions not pick players based on work rate, tackling and willingness to stick to rigid instructions then shoehorning them in. No place for the likes of Barrit, players should be chosen for positive and not negative reasons. He had three years and should have been in a position to pretty much name his starting XV for the pool games at least a year ago, with contingencies, etc and known how they would play. Tinkering in the warm up games was a sign of failure. [/QUOTE]
