So anyway looks like jobs for mates isn't the best way to run a professional rugby team

Without panicking we do need to do something radical for next WC with coaching I feel. I can see us beating one of Ireland/England/Sth A etc in a tournament but not two of them, that is an issue.

For years we were fabulous, then around 2017 we stopped innovating. The rest of the world caught up. In two years time France, Ireland and England will be miles ahead of us so sad.
They're better but not that much better. We are not just stagnant but worse, earlier AB sides would have trounced us too.

Time to start a crowd funding campaign to pay out Fozzie contract

None of the coaches are going to be sacked. The muppets at the NZR just renewed their contracts. 🙈
Can they use some of the Silver Lake money to buy out their contracts? That would be a good investment for the All Black brand.

Given the recent results I think an outsider would put the ABs down as 4th best in that list.

The scoreline is terrible, but actually it feels like France is less dominant than Ireland were.
Looks like it's been one game too many for Jordie now. But, plenty of others also making crucial errors.
We don't look like we have the gas in the tank or a bench to rescue this even if we can eliminate the errors.
Need to get the ball in Will Jordan's hands more.

We need Samisoni on to give us more punch up the middle, but that means subbing our best player Coles.
Still worth doing. ST and Ofa would be my first subs
Its too late now, but you look at how poor Laulala is and even wonder whether Ta’avao (who I dint think should be an AB) would have gone.

Mean while Robertson, Gatland, Schmidt, Rennie, Brown et al. are watching this gormless mongoloid coach the ABs. -
French defense isn't great, plenty of opportunities to score if we just hold the ball
