where is phil kearns when you need him? he could tell fitzy to shut up.

Mate NOW ol fitzy is hanging his hat on stve jones's old line,christ what is the world coming to?,wind up the kiwis and get some fame!!! just because we give as good as we get!!! , what ever MATE! .Fitzy come home mate and coach the ab's get off that bus you are on it is a loser! (ASK WALES). We would love you to take over the AB Camp and deliver the goods!.It is your birthright son, stop hanging around in the uk and go home where you belong at the helm of a world cup AB SIDE!.YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!(DEAR CHAP!).

Two things only NZ teams can play free flowing rugby thats takes just to much skill for NH teams to get there heads around. We've go Locks with better ball skills then some of there play makers. But Fitzy right in the Test Arena / world cup final Basketball rugby will not cut it against teams like the Springbok NO CHANCE!. So whats the answer? Who knows? But we do know who plays the beautiful game alah Brazil for football and that's the AB's ............sorry Fitzy thats a fact mate!

Anyone that watched the Highlanders play the Bulls will know that Super 14 is in great condition, it's a tight tournament, heaps of awesome flowing rugby to watch, a great contest in all aspects.

People like Fitzy stir controversy because it's what they're paid to do. He is one of the most money hungry ex-AB's ever, he wanted to jump in with the rebel league as soon as they flashed a cheque in front of his face in '95 and now he's playing an angle on behalf of the pommie media.

Didnt the AB's hammer the home nations at the end of last season. Yeah i thought so.

The Blues vs Chiefs game was hardly structured.

The Chiefs tries have been very good, but a lot of them have come from poor defence from the Blues and Reds. Until the Chiefs started playing with a bit of structure vs the Lions they had been playing the exact same way they had played vs the Blues and Reds. No doubt their front row has picked up their game a bit but the Lions showed where the Chiefs are lacking. The Chiefs haven't been playing with great structure on attack, they've just got some of the best finishers in the game, and they are completely lacking in defensive structure.

Fitzy may well be right, BUT he and many since have all disappeared over seas and have left a gaping hole in the NZ system He and others like him should be back in NZ and getting involved again at adifferent level, wether it be coasching , administrating local unions etc or just playing club rugby.

otherwise shut up.

If you go O/S , that's fine, but don't sit in your flash house on the Thames and ridicule what you are no longer part of

I agree with Fitzy.Bring back rucking

Yeah Fitzy, you are a rugby commentator now paid to make comments to spark debate, shame your judgement is so clouded. perhaps its the blimey weather..

Look at the Stats, the reason the Chiefs are doing well is because their tight five has fronted up. Donald is actually kicking the ball a fair bit - getting them into good positions. Before the Lions game they were definately playing with structure.

In the first half against the Lions, they tried to play touch, just throwing the ball all over, and they got nowhere. In the second half, they reverted back to a structured approach and they ended up with a win. It's no coincidence.
