The Fat Lady is starting to warm up for the end of Foster's reign...

Nah NZRv will leave it until at least 2 more defeats from boks, and bled in Oz

I have to say watching Ireland play is beautiful to watch.

[Damo]

Dreadful start yet again.

When was the last time we started well in a test?

[kiwiinmelb]

Jeez Ireland are well drilled

[No Quarter]

Our defensive structure hasn't changed at all though. Ireland have run exactly the same plays and made easy metres again. What the hell have our coaches being doing all week?

They are lucky a decent coach helps

[Tim]

Our defensive line is so passive.

[Donsteppa]

If 50/50 cross field kicks are our early midfield attacking strategy, well, they've wasted a good week of prep.

They ran exactly the same play down the left hand side to get that going. Just shit tackling.

[Victor Meldrew]

Once again we are on the back foot within 5 minutes of the game.

Stupid kick by BB

And bombs!

[Bones]

Finally! Ireland whose "thing" is to hold players up by the neck, get penalised for it.

Love the attacking shape. No idea? Kick it aimlessly

[gt12]

For gods sake Barrett.

[Damo]

What on earth is that rubbish. We used to be good in the backs. Now we just kick and hope.

[Chris]

Another wasted kick BB just gave away the ball again

[gt12]

And now the line out isn’t working.

[No Quarter]

I can't believe we kicked away our first chance of an attack. Worst AB side in decades.

[KiwiMurph]

I thought Taylor was picked for his set piece?

LOL
