The Fern is always the toughest crowd to please.
It's because we can see the basics not being done well, and the weaknesses in the side. Against good opposition, it gets exposed. It's selections, skills and tactics, and a track record Foster is building.
We're dominating, and will win by plenty, but it's fairly hollow. We've become the side the Walrus said we were a few years ago

AB 29 Fiji 6
Much better than last week from ABs. Taylor still looks out of sorts though.
First 15 minutes were awful, found their feet after that and last 20 mins were pretty good.
Loose forwards starting to work together like a proper unit. Too early to see how DH/ALB are doing
-
@kiwiwomble for a few years afterwards he was one of the best players in Europe, maybe was season or two too far now

We are dominating them this week. Big step up from last week. This could get very ugly for Fiji.

Nadolo looks all of his 137kg!
How has he been playing since leaving the saders…not the player I remember
To be fair, he's 33 years old. I think he also retired awhile back?

@mariner4life agree to a point, but just lacking something, probably our front row
Yeh our props are playing well to their ability and far better than last week but I'm not convinced the ceiling is that high.

Looked very easy, but I'm not sure if Bridge could have scored that
He would have made it though

He played some scintillating rugby for Montpellier after he left NZ for at least 2-3 seasons.

IMO the Fern also doesn't acknowledge the good things enough.

“The pass made it look simplistic,” says Justin. Err, you mean ‘simple’, Justin. It’s your forte after all.

This sort of thing was always going to happen - ABs tend to snap back after a shit performance.
Just in time to save Foster's career until 2030
Stop being a bastard!
Oh Fiji scores but it is a prop and a man down so I don't mind that much.

Is that you admitting you've been way too harsh on Akira? Or is the fern only mean when you like the player.
