Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

[MrDenmore]

We knew Foster would be crap. It was his turn. That’s the extent of the thinking from the NZRU. He has no new ideas. A new team needed new thinking. But a horribly conservative selection process has condemned a lot of young players to the career epitaph of ‘I was in the first All Black team to lose to Argentina’. If he doesn’t resign, they need to sack him.

Is this the most embarrassing result ever for the ABs?

We’ve lost against a couple of club sides...

[antipodean]

Congratulations to the Pumas. They deserve this on their performance.

[MN5]

Fuck I’m glad Jaguars for life or whatever his name was isn’t a ferner anymore

Sydney game back in the day

At least that 1992 effort was the dirt trackers...

@hydro11 the running game is about creating space. We were not moving ball into space and when we did Reiko dropped it.

World has been reeling AB's in since 2015, this was sadly inevitable. Feel bad for Cane.

It's because we haven't addressed our weaknesses.

And 13+ to boot. Fuck.

What were the odds on that pre game

[chimoaus]

I’m really looking forward to the Wallaby Puma game, might Ben a game I can actually enjoy. I wonder what the mood around camp will be like next few weeks.

Reiko not a centre.

That pass he dropped could epitomise his Test career at 13 (which he isn't). Two unbelievably dumb mistakes by him this year which have proved way too costly.

Get him on the wing in place of JB - he was bloody good there last week

Might have to watch that one.

It seems like a fair bit of that did come from the breakdown. They slowed our ball down well there.

This team has the most Blues players in it that we've seen in a while. I don't believe in coincidences.

Sam Cane has lost a lot of matches this year

[Donsteppa]

So, Jobs for the Boys has worked out well for the NZRU

[NTA]

First time ABs have had back-to-back losses since 2011.

@Kirwan said in Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November:

They played like they expected to win.

Yep. And that always goes well, doesn't it?

[kev]

@hydro11 always starts with winning contact.

[Nevorian]

Foster mentioned some would be catching early flight home wonder if he will be one of them

He was playing wing when that happened I thought.

Loose forwards got monstered in the first half.
