THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE DONE
All Blacks coach Scott “Razor” Robertson has taken an unorthodox approach to motivate his team after their shocking 38-30 loss to Argentina in Wellington last night.
Following the final whistle, the dejected All Blacks gathered in the locker room at Sky Stadium, bracing themselves for Razor’s usual post-match pep talk. But instead of words of wisdom or motivational speeches about how the team can get better, Robertson introduced Australian b-girl “Raygun”, fresh from her exit from the Olympic Games.
To the AB’s horror, Australia’s breakdancing representative gave a private performance, right there in the changing room. Gunn, who has become infamous for failing to score a single point in her three-round robin matches, was now the centre of the All Blacks’ attention.
“We’ve faced tough opposition before, but nothing prepared us for this,” admitted one All Blacks player, still visibly shaken by the experience of watching some Aussie woman attempt to breakdance.
The performance included various strange body movements that aimed to showcase Australian culture, which included but were not limited to hopping around like a kangaroo.
Sources close to the team say that Robertson’s decision to forgo his own breakdancing tradition in favour of Gunn’s cringe-inducing routine was a calculated move, and as the embattled woman’s performance mercifully came to an end, Robertson finally addressed his shell-shocked All Blacks players.
“This is what happens when you don’t give it your all,” he said.
“Next time you think about slacking off, remember this moment. Because if we lose again, there’s plenty more where that came from,” he said, hinting at the fact he may produce his own horrific dance routine next time the team doesn’t win.
More to come.
