In a way I hope we lose next week, lose the Bledisloe and Rugby Championship, it’ll be the only way for us to get a new coach.
Yeah nah. That's pretty abysmal. And won't work anyway.
Even if we got rid of Foster, the next coach is on a hiding to nothing unless we get a caretaker in until after RWC. But I think Eddie isn't available.

Nah.
I think we can win next Saturday. Change a few tactics, not all of them because there was some good in amongst all the dropped ball, poor kicks and poor decision making.
A series win against Ireland would do wonders for the confidence of the squad. Nothing for granted and more work needed and all that. But for me that can be a great positive for improvement.

We'll win. I sound like you, but I'm confident that we'll see a response.
Until the next WC, we'll be up and down, then our next coach will have a chance to build a squad for the future.
Paps likely as captain. The key point is identifying the right game drivers now and having them in place - let's hope Fakatava is as good as he looks.

@gt12 I have great faith in Fakatava, would be keen to see him start against Argentina & possibly Aussie in the rugby championship, will be interesting to see how long Perofeta has to wait until he's introduced into the test 23
Yeah, I don't want to really think about first five, as we'll lose Barrett, Mo'unga most likely, and probably Dmac (possibly could stay if he became no.1).

That's a pretty sad state of affairs though eh.

If NZ squeak a win next week I very much doubt there'll be a host of celebratory hands in the air.
They would have been targeting 3 zip as the only pass mark.

Not foster, he has low expectations, and high excuses

@Frye as I said in the other thread, surely that and retaining the Bledisloe should have been non-negotiable KPIs for this season.

Cahooy was pretty good on the wing for the All Blacks during the WC it has to be said.

not saying its a pass and it hasnt happened yet, but I thought before the series a 2-1 win might be where we are at right now with this current ireland side , regardless of the history

@kiwiinmelb wasnt it about a year ago they would have been negotiating his contract?
At that time, surely NZR had 2022 KPIs written in, that was pre-NH tour...

I’m not sure if it was or wasn’t, but from my perspective we have a depth problem on a couple of fronts - we lack some hardened test players in several positions and for some positions we are only one injury away from being exposed. So we are vulnerable to losing (as much as any other tier 1 test team out there).
These aren’t excuses for Foster but areas where we need to continually work and build on. What’s on Foster and the other coaches is if they doing the things to address that.

Yeah but that's the thing, they're absolutely not.
It took complete fate to end up with Taukieaho, Akira and Rieko.
