RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia
-
Roigard’s great advantage is his ability to keep oppositions guessing.,A Sid Going-style player around the fringes, he offers a clear point of difference to Smith’s style. Why Foster has stayed true to Christie is one of life’s great mysteries

These games are damned if you damned if you don’t kind of affairs.
Good hit out for players that need it. Hopefully will help play some into form etc and you pray for no injuries
Also showing up some who shouldn't be there at all

Lol Foster you egg.
Que?
Roigard
Whilst I agree Roigard needs to be there (ans Weber should have ben in front of Christie too) Roigard doesn't get that space vSouth Africa. They have functioning looseforwards.

@canefan Even Fozzie cant be that stupid..or can he ..?
Stupid enough to pick Christie vs France and run out of loose forwards before the first game.

The ones that let him run from the ruck to score? 😉

What about his 60 metre individual try vs Boks

Fozz says it was only the Boks.... 🙄

Dmac's exit at the 20th minute. What was he thinking? Punted the ball back into the opposition's territory. What about f#%king around in your 22 until someone stuffs up? Change of team tactics?
-
@His-Bobness I sometimes wonder if some of these, less than brilliant, coaches get fixated on certain statistics and don't have the ability to check those criteria against the larger picture.
-
Frustrating for me is the fact we have players who aren't being selected, who could do a good job for us given the opportunity of a decent run in the squad. The combinations in our first team are just not right. Does anyone think that JB would be the starter if DH had never got hurt?
-
@DaGrubster yep, if we score 100 we should have, it was only Namibia, if we score 50 we are shit cos we should have scored 100.
Also tough to try and play to a plan as holes that wouldn't usually exist open so players instincts kick in and take them

I think Fosters Achilles Heel is his loyalty to certain players. Did you see the impact BB had in 2015.
-
That is the most annoying thing about fozzie’s tenure.
The rugby watching public will spell out the problems he can’t see, anticipate or fix.
Thats not what you want from an elite coach. He is more a club 2nd team coach level

That was nine years ago, and the years haven't been kind to his game

@His-Bobness I think it is because Foster sees Christie as the closest to Smith in terms of playing style, so ABs can continue to play the same way after the change. Not sure what glasses he is wearing though 😬
