I cant wait for Fosters press conference
What went wrong Fozzie
Ahhhhhh well not sure, Fucked if I know let me think about it.
Press conference is live on Sky Sport Select.
What's he said so far?
I'm sure they'll post the press conference on YT again.

I thinks the young lock played well in the time he spent on the park. Trying to think of positives.
He was ok but very lucky not to give away a penalty when oz were close to our line at the end.

Traditionally we have been shit first test , but it’s quite often against a lesser opponent, ( even lesser Than aus )
So hopefully we get better ,
I’m desperate, looking for positives 🤔

For all those begging for the drop goal near the end... sitting in the stadium, I'd have to say I can understand nobody going for a droppie. You'd need the advantage guarantee to have gone for anything other than safely-safely in that weather.
Just read back through the thread, even in the first half, nobody seemed to know who had the wind at their back.
It was stereotypical CakeTin, on the higher end of the Beaufort scale. -

We get this even when the refs favour the wobs from their whinging fans so we aren't going to hear the end of it after today. The whinging on twitter has been non stop.

Congratulations Fozzie. You did something Henry or Hansen didn’t achieve and that is lose the first Bledisloe match against a new Wallabies coach.
Slow starters, new combos, inexperienced backline, silver linings, hope, the draw we needed to have
No - Robbie Deans won his first Bledisloe Cup match in 2008: 34-19 in Sydney.
Wasn’t that Deans first test against the ABs, and OZ won?

@akan004 The whining from some of the Wallaby fans that a NZ ref cost them a win is hilarious and sadly predictable.

@akan004 ref was predictably horrible. nearly let through two no-tries if not for Gardner (who wasnt much better).
Gardner will probably be as bad next week in favouring Aus .
Can't be worse than Williams

I did worry about that before the game, made sure I left the Japanese “sports charm” I got at one of the Kumano temples, and took to Yokohama... at home.

@antipodean doesnt really matter - in the context of the series a draw is as good as a win for us.

They have a point. Williams was bad.
