Saw this yesterday, press conference.
Andy Farrell and Jonny Sexton both cool as a cucumber.
NZ journalist: "Jonny, what do you think of the All Blacks aura?"
Jonny surprised " I haven't thought about it"Cringeworthy

At least the end of two decades of suffering from Foster's inconsistent coaching marches ever closer....
It will all pay off when the ARU announces Eddie Jones replacement...

Don your tinfoil hats, its wild conspiracy time - NZ Rugby has long accepted Fozzie won't bring home the RWC this year so had entered a deal with France to ensure friendly refereeing decisions from NZ refs throughout the tournament in exchange for supporting a future RWC bid and a few test series.
The best Fozzie could hope for was taking a dive in the final so is going out all guns blazing in the quarters.
The Saffas will go out in quarters to dubious penalties and cards and a French try from a forward pass the ref missed.
The only hope for redemption are a plucky Fijian team that weren't included in the fix and England refuse to share their portion of the kickbacks with Fiji in-spite of going out in the quarters...

Can't believe what NZ rugby has gone through last 4 years. However whatever happens I'll accept with grace and move on.
In my world ST 2, Paps 7, DMac 15. Roigard bench. SB captain.
Super excited. Proud as hell if the AB eight can do the business. Best game since I was at RWC 2015 final. -
@BerniesCorner that lineup may be what you see in 2024

You backing one of Ratima, Roe or Fakatava to overtake Cam? 😉

I’ve seen that face from Mike Catt since Jonah Lomu ran though him and over him at Newlands in 1995.

@BerniesCorner clearly not enough kiwis had clicked on the donation tab on Stuff and not enough subscribers to NZH premium, so they sent the budget journos?

@MajorRage said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
Oh fuck your Foster. Seriously fuck you.
Roigard shits over Christie, everybody knows it.
You fucking arrogant Twat. So glad your gone on Sunday.
Was not going to be negative but totally agree. Foster may be a good bloke but have completely had enough of him.

sudden death matches with the enemy at the gates are not the moment to enforce protocol - absolute madness
Well said that man.
It's all fodder for POM.
Where's Razor -
Target; 2000 posts of shite and craic by kickoff.

-
Isn't it a Snr management group decision and not just the coach(s)?

It’s a canny tactical call which is tried and tested: https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby-world-cup-2023/300988597/rugby-world-cup-why-all-blacks-had-no-option-but-to-drop-mark-telea-for-quarterfinal
