I don't fuckin care if Razor picks the Cantablacks initially.
I just want to see a coherent and unified gameplan that the players are fully committed to.Fuck any games planning watt all, beyond some of our players are pretty flash would do!

We scored no tries off set piece or any structure all opportunitistic tries. Poor.coaching.
I'd hardly call Akira's try opportunistic. It was a classic loose forward try brilliantly taken.

No. Same scenario as Hadley Parkes
Hadleigh Parkes didn't suit NZ rugby style.
Aki was very effective for the Chiefs and should have made the ABs in 2013

What is our record at Westpac?
Bloody Shit. Should never have moved from Athletic Park

Picked Ireland England SA today. Sadly ⅓ so far.
I'm one from 4, England, SA, Scotland next
Yep, once again, not just the loss. It's the lack of anything coherent as a team that makes it so annoying. You can see we have some stellar individuals (among with some dead weight that needs to be dropped, cane, Taylor, etc) so it's totally a coaching issue
Its that and more. The players who make mistakes and don’t make passes when they should - they are not coaching issues. The ability to take your chances at this level is huge.

Lost home series to Ireland - check
What's else could this season hold...
Lose both tests in SA
Lose Bledisloe
Lose to Scotland on EOYT
Lose to Wales on EOYTThat's the trajectory NZ are on right now. There is no fear. Opponents sense blood in the water. They know NZ have the capability of scoring something out of nothing, but so do Fiji!
Lose at Eden Park?

That was ominously similar to the defeat in Paris.
Shithouse first half.
Minutes 40-60 went up the middle direct.
Minutes 60-80 faded.
So lessons weren't learned then 😉

Should never play anywhere other than the Garden

@Damo hopefully they hang on to him until the Bledisloe.
I think a two out of two game loss in SA (almost guaranteed) will not see him go. But a two of two lots and the bled gone will be enough. So you're in with a changed to get the bled back and finish off foster

@Damo said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
I turned the TV off. For those still watching - can anyone tell me if Foster has done the decent thing and resigned yet?
Not interviewed yet.
First question at the press conference is surely
"Just a question around timing. Will you resign now or are you going to give it a few days and resign next week".

He'll never resign, it'll all be about learnings, and excitement, and how much Ireland have improved

He has to go. The only decent thing he can do. If Foster stays we are in for a very bad few years.
