Just imagine (yes I know it is hard for some) if the ABs do the unthinkable and channel their 2007 French vanquishers and beat the Boks at Ellis Park.
Would it classify as a major upset?
Depends who you ask?
Foster
Just a matter of time

just a bunch of soft lads who don't like it when it s cold and wet. don't like the graft. flat track bullies who only come out to play when its a nice day. lads who are too nice. sea gulling out on the wings. ruck inspectors.
they score the 9th try in a 60 point drubbing but are nowhere to be seen in a close game.
those kind of lads.
Conditions are likely to be warm and dry. I don’t think this will magically result in an AB win.

I used to back us on a dry track. Not so much any more

The slightly weird thing about this game is that it feels like waiting for a Black Caps/Steamers/Chiefs game. Even when the All Blacks have been up and down in the past, I always still expected them to win.
The current All Blacks now feel just like all my other teams, where hope is usually the biggest part of the anticipation

@Donsteppa could be worse. Could be like a Warriors game.

Facebook and/or PR seemed to have leaked their way into the Fern.
I think I might keep away from this thread until the post-mortem (maybe until the gloating stops). It's not good for the mental healthWhat?

Sir Graham Henry's plea: This is not the Kiwi way - it's time to back the All Blacks
OPINION: The All Blacks need your support - whatever happened to the team of five million?
Henry has asked all NZers (5million) to get behind the team (the 23). But didn't include the coaches 😜

"Former England and current Leinster coach Stuart Lancaster says the All Blacks’ lack of clarity under Ian Foster is the reason for their freefall down the world rankings and home series defeat against Ireland.
Lancaster and The Roar analyst Nick Bishop joined Harry Jones for a special edition of The Roar Rugby Podcast this week that included a fascinating chat about the role of coaches in the modern game."

I was going to list the Warriors and Phoenix etc, but that would indeed have been too depressing pre-match.

You have to ask how Lancaster would know any more than any other outside commentator.
