Picked Ireland England SA today. Sadly ⅓ so far.
I'm one from 4, England, SA, Scotland next
Yep, once again, not just the loss. It's the lack of anything coherent as a team that makes it so annoying. You can see we have some stellar individuals (among with some dead weight that needs to be dropped, cane, Taylor, etc) so it's totally a coaching issue
Yes. The leadership group HAS to be questioned now, as does the direction that the team is taking and all including the fisheads given a good clearout.

@Victor-Meldrew Razor would bring a complete overhaul of the team and the culture with him. And make McDonald his assistant.
It's never that simple. And it's plain dumb to impose a culture - almost always ends badly.

Razor will sort that out.
Changing culture doesn't come from the top - it has to come from the players themselves.
It does when they are dropped.
Just dropping players won't improve the culture - unless you want one of fear which never works.
You are massively underestimating the influence the coach has on the culture. A new leader in any organisation can have a huge effect on employees with the right leadership. It's just abundantly clear Foster doesn't foster a culture of excellence (sorry had to with the pun)

I don't fuckin care if Razor picks the Cantablacks initially.
I just want to see a coherent and unified gameplan that the players are fully committed to.Fuck any games planning watt all, beyond some of our players are pretty flash would do!

We scored no tries off set piece or any structure all opportunitistic tries. Poor.coaching.
I'd hardly call Akira's try opportunistic. It was a classic loose forward try brilliantly taken.

No. Same scenario as Hadley Parkes
Hadleigh Parkes didn't suit NZ rugby style.
Aki was very effective for the Chiefs and should have made the ABs in 2013

What is our record at Westpac?
Bloody Shit. Should never have moved from Athletic Park

Its that and more. The players who make mistakes and don’t make passes when they should - they are not coaching issues. The ability to take your chances at this level is huge.

Lost home series to Ireland - check
What's else could this season hold...
Lose both tests in SA
Lose Bledisloe
Lose to Scotland on EOYT
Lose to Wales on EOYTThat's the trajectory NZ are on right now. There is no fear. Opponents sense blood in the water. They know NZ have the capability of scoring something out of nothing, but so do Fiji!
Lose at Eden Park?
