@Steve said in All Blacks 2022:
Was it a mistake to not have a traditional soft touch before the Irish series?
A Fiji or a Tonga to put 50 points on and give some new guys a W on their CV's.
Foster is snookered now and fighting for his job, so it breeds conservative selections and paralysis with subs.
Such as Perofeta getting 50 seconds.
We could have saved our selves the lawyers fees and capped a one kneed Fakatava last year if we are only giving lads 50 seconds.
Foster doesn't seem to have a clue how to right the ship. Which is how he got here in the first place. No one on the board comes out of this looking good

- Aaron
- Beaudy
- Clarke
- Jordie
- Rieko
- Reece
- Jordan
That's a starting backline I want to see. Power, size, speed and elusiveness. Reece is easily the best right wing in New Zealand. Jordan is too good not to start at fullback where he can get more opportunities. Clarke is the form left winger. Rieko is the form centre and has pace to burn. Aaron's pass can ensure Beaudy can run into space and if he needs to bail out, Jordie has the size and skillset to get over the advantage line.
Picking from the current squad that backline is about as good as it gets I think.
Aaron is on thin ice though and Rieko isn't a centre but will have to do.

To me the critics of him getting 50 sec are more that he should have had more time, rather than a token minute when the game was gone...I expect the comments about him getting a cap to stop him turning out for Samoa are likely coming from overseas.
While detractors suggest Perofeta's debut was merely a means of stopping him playing for Samoa - he must now serve a three-year stand down period to become eligible again - Ioane is adamant Perofeta has a huge future as an All Black.
Rugby Championship: More to come from Stephen Perofeta despite brief All Blacks debut, says teammate Rieko Ioane | Newshub
The 25-year-old was given just 50 seconds in his first outing in the black jersey.

I’ve been worried for a while , while it might still be be an improvement , our issues may run a bit deeper than just swapping out the coach .

They do run deeper for sure.But a fresh coach with new ideas game plans,Tactics may refresh the players.

There really is no point saying 'it is not just the coach'. We know that, the Board and CEO are incompetent. But you have to start somewhere!

Yeah I’m not arguing against making those changes , just worried overall at the broader picture .

If he hadn't got an AB call up. I would expect the upcoming All Blacks XV matches would do that anyway, so moot.
Anyway, unless the rules have changed (quite likely, as they are getting changed all the time). Being on the bench 23 was enough to cap-tie you anyway. So, also possibly moot.
Apart from being a locally born and bred player anyway.
Anyway, as you suggest, I think the article author just invented (or misinterpreted) that detractor angle himself.

And yes, I am correct. As usual.

I read that differently. God knows what the intention is or why it can't be spelled out clearly.
Are you a 'replacement' if you don't replace someone?
Are you a 'substitute' if you don't sub for someone?
Are you a 'playing member' if you don't play?
Certainly lots of room there for a legal argument.
(I am assuming that a replacement is for non tactical subs eg HIA and Sub is for tactical subs) -

Yip. "is present at the Match" is legalese for saying you are cap-tied as soon as the first pine splinter touches the arse of your AB tracksuit.

....followed by 'and' before the list of participation descriptions. If it is simply that you are selected and are present they could stop writing at that point.

That would mean a guy selected but then injured in training and not suiting up would be cap-tied.
That is only reason for that "and" that I can think of.

Speaking of Schmidt.
this is interesting, i thought the offloads by our fatties were one of the things that gave our backs a second more time and a fraction more space to do something against the boks, they couldn't completely commit to the rush because we kept options open, dropping that was a mistake in my mind
