Its pretty obvious also (like JBs a good FB not a winger) that you can't win regularly if the forwards don't get and retain 50% possession.

Fuck Foster, fuck his assistants, fuck the NZR, fuck the NZ Rugby Media for pretending our mediocre team are World beaters.
I don't think the ABs are mediocre, they're just not the clear no 1 team from 2010-2015. The top 8 is now a lot more competitive, anyone can win against anyone on their day.
Yeah, I'm not finding the last two years (any) worse than 1998 or the early 00s or the early 90s.
Since the 80s I've watched some of our greatest days and some of our darkest days. We've been spoiled since 2011. Being outmatched is an unwelcome and for most of the last 10 years unfamiliar. We need better cattle, a better plan. But it isnt going to happen overnight

Moody, Taylor, Franks, Whitelock, Romano, S. Barrett, Blackadder….
We used to do better when I named my team

Actually I thought you were going to name Leicester instead!
Speaking of which, if Robertson was AB Coach, (a whatif indeed) I wonder who he'd pick as midfield.. -

Worried about his game. France are good and their half back, Dupont, is fantastic.
Who is Tupou ?
-
@stargazer a new one, we have had musical chairs already, so was expecting a change, although was one that would feature ALB...
@cgrant my guess is he meant Tupaea
Gee, midfield is a worry though!
I think they need to go Tupaea/Ioane, but expect they'll go Havili/Ioane.

I think they need to go Tupaea/Ioane, but expect they'll go Havili/Ioane.Give Tupaea a start. Pretty much nothing left to lose at this stage at 12/13. Reiko hasn't developed much and Havili has gone backwards.

I'm not throwing Havili under the bus quite yet. He showed a lot early on, and looked the absolute goods. The problem is that when you wind up with a light 8/9/10/12 like Ardie, AS, RM, DH it can get exposed by more physical teams.
His form has really deteriorated though, which is a real pity. ALB is a monster loss for us, and we run the risk of going to RWC23 without a settled midfield. Again.

Is this when Jordie Barrett gets a go at 13? 🙈
