RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks
-
Think that our kick chase game is the weakest link in our game plan at the moment, very rarely seems to pay off and normally just backfires with points against us.
Hoping that the plan all along has been to target the QF as our breakthrough game and that it will be all ok. Also hope we don’t go for too much rotation in the remaining pool games as we need to get our combinations more game time.
-
At least the ABs had the decency to suck in the previous game too, so we didn’t go into this with false expectations
-
@Joans-Town-Jones Well their kicking has be woeful for years. Why practice the obvious?

Ah Koui-I don't mind him, the few times I saw him played he looked pretty tireless and committed.
I guess at Super he is a more a short lock who can play 6 but as a international backup bench 6/bench-emergency lock Ah Koui might have been worth a look. Perhaps he is too much of a loose cannon, but, early days.

@akan004 I loathe Mark Robinson just as much

So then fire David Hill and bring in Nick Evans?
-
@Joans-Town-Jones That would require the acknowledgement of a problem.

@Tim said in RWC: France v All Blacks:
This game really underlined how bad Ryan is. He keeps selecting awful players like Cody Taylor at the expense of genuinely good forwards. Vaa'i would make no other squad.
NZ rugby is rotten.
This is hilarious.
-
@broughie and that is something that Foster is clearly never going to acknowledge which is why we are where we are.
His constant references to learnings is a joke and intended to fool us into thinking he has some analytical skills which he will diligently apply to the next game plan. -
@Jimmy-Jimmy I will block anyone who uses the word "learning again". Is a disgusting word.
-
@Stargazer You should watch some Crusaders highlights again, and keep ignoring test rugby. AB forwards gave away penalties at a terrible rate the last two games. He is selecting Taylor over Taukei'aho. He is clearly not up to test rugby level.
-
@Tim Taukei'aho hasn't exactly been doing much to deserve the start himself, this year.
It's the players who give away too many penalties, not the coaches.
I don't know why I'm even replying to someone who has obviously drunk too much.
-
@Stargazer I must be drunk at noon because I recognize that we got thrashed again? You live in Crusaders fanboy fantasy land.
