All Blacks 2023

I think there may have been a game in the Foster era where we showed we could play different styles/tactics but I can't think of one recently, France showed how it can be done.

@taniwharugby We had three years to prepare for last night. We faced exactly what I expected: a passionate, brutal French side led by arguably the greatest half back to play the game in front of a patriotic, vocal French crowd.
The Second Half from the All Blacks was a shambles. Under pressure they folded.
If I had to sum it in one word. Embarrassing.
It’s Ok Fozzie says ,we are learning and he is quite happy we’re we are,he would not change a thing.
Fuck how did we ever get to this point.

@taniwharugby I think the occasion and the crowd got to the ABs a bit.
But I see what you mean. France didn’t have to do much in that game. They looked very solid, but not necessarily world beaters. Terrible decision-making and baffling execution meant the ABs unraveled last night.

How did the All Blacks go from so good and so widely respected in 2015 to being a bit of a laughing stock at the moment?
Bad tactics by Foster.
A culture of complacency within the All Blacks.
Failure to adapt to changing tactics by other international sides.
Not monitoring developments in the international game closely enough.
A failure for individual players to go away and work on obvious weaknesses in their game.
Devaluing possession and the kicking game.
A generation of players that is much less gifted than those that emerged in the 2000s.
Low crowds for domestic NZ Rugby.
Fewer people playing club rugby in NZ.
A board who were content to wallow in past glories rather than plan for the future.Anything I’ve missed?
I blame the catering at wellington stadium for this. Overpriced shit food and beer is not enticing.

assuming it is true, not that it matters with 3-5 games left in charge, but he should really be asked to explain why he is replacing a wing with a loose forward...

My next question is, why did they even pick him if he got sent home without playing a minute?
