Former All Blacks Coach Laurie Mains On The All Blacks' 33-13 Win Over The Wallabies

[@Marius_vanderLubbe]

You'll always get honesty from Laurie Mains.

[@wezvandez]

kak

[@Marius_vanderLubbe]

@@wezvandez Ah - the old 'fart and run' trick.

[@lukawilliams4822]

That’s so true.. we have no depth we are playing super clunky,positions all over the place yellow cards left right and centre.. and we are still pretty much up there with South Africa!!! And definitely should have won that first test!!! Even the World Cup final, everyone knew we were not looking good far from favourites and still managed to make the final play most of the game with a man down down two men at times..lost by 1 point and the only team to score a try!!!

[@ManaBlack208]

ABs will win the next RWC in 2027🏆You heard it here 1st ☝️

[@Annaspanner]

So true Beauden has been messed around. Leave him to settle in at 10 is quite right..

[@DD-RSA]

Mains happy with a 50% win rate from the mighty all blacks. Scraped a win against a poor Australia.

[@laurencefairley7657]

Great interview well done Sean

[@jonathonmerson93]

Good interview with Laurie Mains ........he tells the truth as per usual.

[@neilstuarr2278]

Mains opinion seems to align with mine we are not far off. Boks? They can do better too. Just depends how much.....

[@R12-g8z]

Love the shout out to Cam Millar he's gonna be a great

[@nzfreeski]

Spot on Laurie - my thoughts exactly - we’re not far off

[@jerryb6323]

Lawrie ever so delusional....lol get a grip mate....this is a very average Abs....honesty is the best policy

[@craigrodger3628]

It's interesting how many Sth Africans tune into kiwi podcasts and shows and get all upset we're not singing their praises enough, i never listen to their shows because I understand there would be a level of bias being a sth African show ,and that's ok.... I just don't understand how they don't get this

[@benfromgermany]

It is interesting how many Kiwis don't even listen to their own podcasts. Maybe South Africans love listening to other opinions and that is why they are back-to-back champions, I don't know.. Maybe your comment is symptomatic of the state of NZ rugby. Insular and condescending.

[@oldman774]

I think it is a case of the Springboks being criticised for quite some time for being boring and predictable. Now that the tables have turned I suspect some Bok supporters need validation. Myself being a Bok supporter always listen to overseas podcasts purely because I can't stand the bias from South African media. There was a time where no Supersport commentator was allowed to criticised certain players which meant that they had no credibility as punters. I listen to overseas media for the reason that they will be over critical of the Boks. At least that way I get more info on what is percieved as weaknesses, even though there might be a bias against the Boks.

[@peternicolaides7679]

cry harder Kiwi crybaby.

[@rubendutoit586]

It's unfortunately South African mentality. Got the shitiest supporters in the world

[@Solefix]

The loss really has hit hard hasn't it. It's ok you have another chance in 27​@@oldman774

[@vinniebarbarino-1]

Will Jordan reminds me more and more of Ben Smith !!

[@richposports7030]

That's a big call! Big shoes 👞 😅 Let's see... Go ABs

Laurie Mains dry your eyes mate..😂😂😂😂

[@cookster601]

Laurie - well he’s proving to be on the $.

[@frankvsnschalkwyk6030]

IM A SA ALL BLACK FAN, I AGGREE WITH LAURY M. FOR ALL TEAMS GOT THEIR HIGHER POSSIBILITY SINCE THE THREE BARRETTE BROTHER STARTED, WHEN THEY ON PITCH 2 WON 6 LOST. KEEP WITH ALB AND RIEKO ON CENTRE. Jordie is brilliant but we keep on more loosing then winning when he start.

[@CoolCoyote]

yeah nah the s.a/eng/irish game is on another level to these bled matches now, well not now like for ages now. bb is our 10. dmac is our impact player with 20 to go. robertson is still missing a trick not having Brayden Iose in there at 8, he is a natural number 8, got speed to burn too. savea is a 7. we then have blackadder and papalili for 6 or 7. also. Vaii for me has been the stand out player in this pretty messy opening RC campaign.

[@steph333-w6u]

we beat Ireland and England last time we played them.

[@CoolCoyote]

@@steph333-w6u fosters team too

[@steph333-w6u]

Laurie what do you think of Kemara at the Crysaders as a 10 coming through for the future?

[@jonathonmerson93]

lol a dead rubber in a test match ,that word still exists in Rugby .And rightly so .......whos everyone Sean ???? big claim son .

[@wezvandez]

Laurie Mains cannot admit that the Boks are currently better than the ABs...he cites a disallowed try but forgets that the previous try scored by the ABs was clear double-banking...still a bitter old man I see haha

[@jonathonmerson93]

no one trusts the Boks or South African rugby full stop .

[@wezvandez]

@@jonathonmerson93 yeah coz people 'trust' rugby teams like they trust marriage partners.

[@imntg6649]

​@@jonathonmerson93speak for yourself mate

[@reid6462]

Hey Boks, the ABs rule. How many Rugby champs have you won. About 20%. Don't kid yourselves...

[@reabetswekhiba7551]

@@jonathonmerson93why?😂

[@DavidJackson-oe9vs]

Caleb Clarke has to play at 12

[@davie-d4e]

Keep Body at 10. Someone got to be dropped for LB. He's ball distribution is way better than both centres starting at the moment and it's because he is actually a centre not a 15 or 11 want to play 12 or 13. Stop this nonsense NZ. Sititi is our best 8 at the moment...He is wasted at 6. Dmac is and was always a better impact player at test level. Keep Jordan at 15.

[@edmond435]

Caleb clark is a centre mean step breaks first tackle power and bulk and speed rieko not centre doesn't break line cant get ball to wingers clark has attributes of a ma nonu can break line step and feed wingers thats why all blacks line looks ordinary rieko needs to move to wing

[@TheBuildKingR]

Could've, would've, should've Laurie... The same could be said when you played England or the game you barely won against the wallabies...

[@joedennehy386]

The record losingist all blacks coach of all time

[@benfromgermany]

Laurie Mains is a bit in denial. The first test was very competitive but the All Blacks didn't score a try in the second test and were completely gassed in the last quarter. The AB's probably played above themselves in the first game because they were so motivated to compete with the Boks. But yes, he is right, the AB's could have won both tests.

[@Solefix]

The boks could have won in 2015 at the RWC in the Semi but didnt - see how daft that statement is Laurie Moans?

[@flashiemate729]

Is that with the All Blacks with 14 men for 60 minutes?

[@Solefix]

@@flashiemate729 obviously and don't forget the forward passes, the food poisoning and now apparently the hotel room standards 😂 if there were ever a more soft bunch

[@richardscanlan3419]

well,the frog referee did everything he could to get you over the line in that game.

[@Solefix]

@@richardscanlan3419 still sulking eh

[@richardscanlan3419]

​@@Solefix you're the one making bold claims,saffer. But then,you've never been beaten legitimately in a WC. You lot constantly whine about 2011 and 15.Well,you bleated enough to drive Bryce Lawrence out of the game. Bad losers,and even worse winners.
