attention to detail in the skills department
But again, how do you know that isn't there?
I'm talking about what I see on the field. It is possible the players aren't executing what they have been instructed to do

The Blues improves each year, with Foster the ABs have gone backwards over the last 2 seasons.
We've have been going backwards since 2016-7 - long before Foster took over. There's a variety of reasons for that decline , but to blame it all on one man just isn't really a valid argument.
Yeah he's done some dumb stuff but he's also done some pretty good stuff as well. Just hope we see less of the former and more of the latter this year.

If that's auto replace at work that's genius.

Real issues at tighthead.
Ofa's scrum problems were evident again tonight, and he had Romano packing behind him. I think all 3 THs in the AB squad will have been put on notice because I don't expect them all to be at RWC 2023.

Real issues at tighthead.
Would be seriously looking at giving Franks a recall. Known quantity and a reliability at set piece, tackle and breakdown. Who cares if he isn't a carrying option. At least we would have the ball to do something with.
Like your thinking, so something like…
G. Bower
C. Taylor
O. Franks
S. Whitelock
B. Retallick
S. Barrett
T. Chief (capt)
T. Blue
T. Lander
R. Mo’unga
L. Fainga’anuku
D. Havili
J. Goodhue
S. Reece
W. Jordan -
@ACT-Crusader TBF, that side with the right game plan, would be perfectly fine in black

Star All Black injury concern: Veteran played with broken thumb in final
All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock could be in doubt for the start of the Ireland series.

He was specifically asked how his thumb was after the game and he said it was OK. I think the article is blowing up that it wasn't fully healed.

I'm surprised he didn't say it has fallen off yet so I'm good.
