[Bovidae]

I'm hoping to witness two wins live this week, and fine weather for both games would be good.

Nice. Good practise for when he's AB coach after the RWC

about time that Covid something good for us

@mariner4life just hope more players dont go down.

Surely they only need isolate if they are ill and/or showing symptoms?

Plenty of the normal flu going about at the moment, and like Covid, it hits some hard, and others barely and missing some, are they testing and isolating for that too?

You isolate so you don't spread it to others not because you are ill.

In hindsight, the Far North wasn't the best place to hold the AB camp at this time, particularly if the players were regularly interacting with the public and not wearing masks.

@Bovidae which they were...

Especially when far northers only isolate when they’re ill

@MN5 not the thread for it, but both my kids have had the normal flu the past 10 days, tested them for the covid, negative, but I didnt test myself or isolate.

You seem very confused.

So how is everyone feeling about Foster as coach now that the last standing option is Brad Mooar?

Ireland warned to expect 'filthy, dirty and angry' All Blacks side seeking rugby revenge

@KiwiMurph Paul Cully only giving one bit of info, and leaving out the rest.

[Machpants]

This is all part of Foster's excuse matrix.

1. Lost to the Argentinian's for the first time ever? Ambush 'cos they hadn;t played a game in forever
2. Biggest ever score against? Um, Perth
3. Utter shit NH tour? Long season
4. First loss for decades at Eden/first home loss to the Irish?: I got Covid - I have to keep my cronyism earned role!

Bit of a no-win situation for Foz.

Either ABs lose or they win without requiring him.

Except he did select the squad so he can still bask in that glory. If they lose he can blame it on Schmidt. It could be win-win for Fozzie.

Oh, he can win alright.

Look at how good I am. I can coach the team via zoom and planned for this all along.
