Poor old PGS. Should never have been there. Doubt he plays for NZ again. And now ineligible for Fiji.

Joke of a squad. Ofa and Nepo still in while Lomax is preferred over Jager and Newell.
Lomax was always going to be the next TH prop, as they brought him into camp in Auckland for Laulala.
The only way to see wholesale changes was with a change of coach/selectors.

I don't get the Fozzie love for Shannon F or Ennor but hey. Did Shannon get picked instead of Grace I wonder? Or PGS I suppose. Very conservative team but who really did we expect were bolters that didn't make it? Sullivan? I'm surprised RTS and Big Leicester (and less so DH) remain. Interesting to see Perofeta there. Yup, more conservative in the forwards (apart from replacement Dickson). I just can't see how they keep picking Ennor though, is catching the ball not a needed skill?

i fucking knew it was PGS's fault
even when it was the coaching/execution/talent
i knew it was PGS all along

@Kiwiwomble wonder if he will get another shot really, Jacobson, Grace, MMT, Robinson plus several others likely close enough to get a call up too.
he scored a sweet try
This is where some players much get disheartened with NZR though, get your shot (rightly or wrongly)...at very least dont disgrace yourself...dropped for someone who has done nothing in the past month other than not beat people up

Wasn't Crucial talking some bollocks about humanitarian reasons for delaying the squad?
I said it was a possible reason. I had some facts about a certain player that I wont divulge that added to a very plausible reason.

For three years, at least.

Ian Foster says "I am strong. I am resilient. I believe I have a great feel and relationship with my players. I'm strategic and I'm also accountable. I am really excited to give you the chance to show you what this team is made of."
is that word for word Foster? If so maybe he should go onto the front row. And as captain.

Ian Foster says "there is no doubt that I am under pressure, but I'm always under pressure and always felt that pressure ... as an All Blacks coach you live in that world all the time. Does it hurt? Yes it does. But the key thing is that I do everything I can to make sure we have the right people in the right seats."
-
On the silence from the past week and the cancelled press conference, Ian Foster says "I understand the frustration. I as a head coach would never ever not communicate with my fan base when it's expected. I know my responsibility to talk to the fan base and if I knew that I would do that all the time
-
@Chris said in All Blacks squad - The Rugby Championship:
Ian Foster says the All Blacks have a "clear plan" for how they are going to move forward.
"We understand the fans aren't happy ... but you have a promise that we are looking forward to getting stuck into our work."
Lol what a pile of shit. He'll be excited next

Have to look at the spineless leadership from the CEO and board.
