All Blacks v Pumas 1

Stag

Ioane made 2 passes the whole game and conceded 3 turnovers. A centre he is not.
And the stats they showed that had NZ easily dead last in turnovers made is the most damming indictment on Canes performance as a 7.

The Docter

@ACT-Crusader at least he did it from depth

The All Blacks have lost 3 consecutive Tests at home for the first time in their 119 year history of playing Test Rugby.

The Docter

In fairness Cane was prominent and destructive with ball in hand

Good learnings

Those Foster records just keep growing. Ka pai, you fucking clown

In the past we always had young stars coming through. We do not have them now. Is this because in participation terms the game is dwindling fast?
In Wellington and Auckland the numbers playing football are three to four times greater than Rugby. In fact in Wellington if it were not for the Polynesian community the game would be dead.

Twenty years ago Eden Park and Sky Stadium would be close to full for an NPC game now it is "spot the spectator"

Rugby has deeper issues than the All Blacks but NZ Rugby choses to ignore them or cover up.

I don't think we will ever see a dominant All Blacks team again. With better coaching we could be consistently competitive though.

Gregor Paul was on Irish podcast after the South Africa game to talk about Fosters backing from NZRU.

He opined that maybe a lot of the players backed Foster because if Razor was appointed they would be dropped....

@BerniesCorner All round to Fozzies on Sunday for a chalk board session

Joans Town Jones

I guess I should have dropped 50 large on the Argies...

@pukunui not yet

It is getting pretty bloody close

BerniesCorner

The thing is the ABs have got some good players and I believe the AB forwards could hold their own against anyone.
We have devo got a pretty good front 5 now.
Poor discipline, leadership and game plan.
Devo sunset time for a few seniors
Sami and DeGroot get pulled after half time, why?
