Beauden had an excellent defensive game last week IMO
He's a genius on D and on attack, plays his heart out and can do things no other player could do. But his kicking game is average at best.

I wonder if Hansen is a sick bastard and hated Fozzie the entire time and vouched for him just so he could watch him fail. Makes you question Hansens ability if he thought Fozzie could actually coach.
in fairness, Wayne Smith rated him too Mch as it pains me to say it
In reality what else are they going to say in public. We pulled Fozzie into the environment to help the Chiefs and put him out to pasture for a few years.
I hate this as it seems like I'm defending Foster. I'm not.
But Wayne-o voluntereed (Volunteered y'all) in an interview that judging Foster on his Chiefs performance didn't allow opportunity for peopel to learn and grow. The clear inference was he rated him.
Now I've thrown up in my mouth a bit
Yes but what did Foster learn?
I haven't seen any posts here saying the ABs under Foster are clearly different to the Chiefs under Foster? -

There is no shame in losing a test to this Ireland team
If we'd lost by a couple of points with 14 men it would have been progress and we could have said we fought back well from adversity.
But we lost our heads - again.

@Victor-Meldrew Foster is fucking useless, sack the prick and bring on Razor. Like I said we will not win the RWC with him in charge.

Leaving till the morning to try and deconstruct.
Not sure this is a straight loss due to talent.
3 cards to one ... not sure the total cards reflected who deserved what ...
As with Test 1, closer that the scoreline.
More when sober ...

Hard disagree. There is and should be.
This Ireland team lost to France. Could point out all the weaknesses in their side but it's been done to death.
Lost to France. In Paris. By 3 points.

@stodders bullshit statement, there is a lot of shame in ABs losing. We have a winning culture, stop making excuses now you are making us sound like Wallabies.
No. The shame comes from the headless, mindless performance. Losing in and of itself is not shameful. Ireland are a good team. ABs can't win like in the past against them if they are off their game.

A few of us have said this.
Im beginning to wonder how much is due to the assistant coaches, Foster strikes me as someone who delegates. -

Glad you pointed that out.

Foster is only part of the problem or might not be the problem at all. But I'm just not convinced he's the one to fix it.
bring on Razor
If only it was that simple.

I'm still spitting about the 'taking the player past the ruck' calls. there's some made up shit in there
Like the one the Irish did before their second try? No consistency from Peyper.
Who is the ref next week? Methinks there'll be some interesting chats from both sets of coaches with him next week when they ask for "clarifications".

@MiketheSnow Yellow card and red card while calling for uncontested scrums means New Zealand should've played with 12.
