We've now lost four of the last six tests. Dump these clown coaches, and chop the deadwood from the team.
That’s terrible…if it were true 😉
It’s 4 of the last 7 against Ireland. That includes tonight.
Dunedin 2022 - Ireland
Auckland 2022 - ABs
Dublin 2021 - Ireland
Yokohama 2019 - ABs
Dublin 2018 - Ireland
Dublin 2016 - ABs
Chicago 2016 - IrelandSo based on that pattern, we win next week 😎
If ABs lose the series, is that the "fall on the sword" moment for Foster?

@Frank Taylor, Retallick, Cane.
Ha ha, snap.
Maybe Stuart Barnes was right about Cane 🤔I love him, but he just looks slow.
He’s working his ass off, but he’s not impactful and won’t be a better player next year. It’s not that he’s a poor player, he’s just no longer the best 7 in the country.
He would be in the squad and he can help to develop Dalton, but he shouldn’t be captain and most likely shouldn’t be starting.
I rate him as an All Black and don't anyone else would do better as Captain, but I have to question his quality of play. Whether it's the balance of the loose trio or he's longer got it, he just doesn't have the impact he once did

@Tim you're missing out Italy and the US
Because they are tier 2 nations 😉
I'll take these wins when I can these days.

@Victor-Meldrew Bower, Paps or Smith to captain.

Nah we are stuck with Foster to after the WC even if we lose the series to Ireland lose to SA in SA and lose to the Wallabies.
Which all could happen. -

If Foster doesn't resign now what happens if we lose to Oz and Sa in the Championship. At what point do they make a change.

Yup. Just kiss the RWC goodbye next year. Its done

Probably why Razor is in Fiji lining life and coaching the Barbarians later in the year.

Well, imagine how good we'll be next week once Foster has had two whole weeks running the squad...

We should not even turn up and save the embarrassment.

You would hope that there would be some serious thinking going on. But after the Ardie sub fuck-up tonight, I'm not so sure.
Maybe Sam, being a decent bloke, will step down as captain and that might spark some change

That’s my point.

I’m going to come back at my point on Cane by pointing out that he led the team for tackles (13,1) and that Paps was the least busy with (5,0), so maybe it is early to put it on Cane.
The guys up front might be a bit different, even Scooters stats aren’t that good.
Ofa’s are a fucking nightmare - 5 penalties and a YC, 2 missed tackles and all of 6 metres.

That's the frustrating thing - we do turn up.
And then, more often than not, we pack our bags and bugger off.
