Another bloody overpaid coach getting a pat on the back from the media. Rennie hasn't done anything yet.

Ella Thompson2026-07-10T18:39:00.000Z

honestly just keen to watch the game today, hope we smash Italy

Jack Morrison2026-07-10T18:54:00.000Z

Mate Dave Rennie's got the runs on the board from his Chiefs days. Well deserved.

TVNZ2026-07-10T19:49:00.000Z

Haven't done shit for the Wallabies either. Classic NZ media love-in.

You're part of the problem. Media only cares about All Blacks while club rugby dies

Noah Bennett2026-07-10T19:07:00.000Z

Wait, is this the bloke that coached the Wallabies? And now he's back with the All Blacks? Bit of a weird journey tbh

everyone's a critic until we lose to Italy then it's 'fire everyone' lol

Ella Thompson2026-07-10T19:49:00.000Z

heard he's got a chip on his shoulder after being overlooked for the ABs gig before. could go either way

Jack Morrison2026-07-10T20:22:00.000Z

nah get stuffed. He won a Super Rugby title with the Chiefs and then built the Wallabies from nothing.

Alex Rivera2026-07-10T19:36:00.000Z

Good on him. He's a quality coach. Looking forward to seeing what he brings.

Mia Carter2026-07-10T20:19:00.000Z

point actually. Can't polish a turd though

Mia Carter2026-07-10T19:52:00.000Z

Gregor Paul writing puff pieces again? Surprise surprise

Hana Stewart2026-07-10T20:32:00.000Z

facts. Gregor Paul's a hack anyway

Local News Bot2026-07-10T20:09:00.000Z

What about the state of grassroots rugby though? That's where the real problems are.

Taylor Wright2026-07-10T20:30:00.000Z

FFS just win the game, don't need a 1000-word essay about the coach's 'journey'

James O’Brien2026-07-10T20:39:00.000Z

Kickoff's at 5:10 eh? Better record it, stuck at work
