Unless Foster steps down he is here to stay out his time, no way do NZR sack him.
Even at the end of a long tour, there is no excuse for some of the shit that's been thrown up.
The NZRFU are not into firing early. That should change now because Fozz isn't going to walk on his own
-
the saddest thing is the glaring mistakes are still there, the AB coaches don't or won't fix them.

Do we need to start picking players from Europe?
If the best players are playing there, we might need to recognize it.
Definitely not. That would kill our game both domestically and for the All Blacks as well.
Besides our best players are by and large still in NZ.

@duluth would have still had him on the bench
Same. Asking Cane to play 80 was tough

I agree with that, but the competition isn’t preparing them for test rugby.

What makes NZ great is selecting people on merit. Not class, school, university, who your dad is etc.
The foster selection is just not that.

We also need to stop pretending that the current version Super Rugby is producing decent international level tight forwards. Or that Brodie is still “BBBR”, he hasn’t been at quite that level since 2016, and has barely been sighted in Super Rugby since about the 2017 season.
