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.

That was ominously similar to the defeat in Paris.
Shithouse first half.
Minutes 40-60 went up the middle direct.
Minutes 60-80 faded.

@stodders said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
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?

@Derpus said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
@Damo hopefully they hang on to him until the Bledisloe.
They will.

So lessons weren't learned then 😉

Should never play anywhere other than the Garden

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.

Razor will sort that out.
Changing culture doesn't come from the top - it has to come from the players themselves.
It does when they are dropped.
Just dropping players won't improve the culture - unless you want one of fear which never works.
You are massively underestimating the influence the coach has on the culture. A new leader in any organisation can have a huge effect on employees with the right leadership. It's just abundantly clear Foster doesn't foster a culture of excellence (sorry had to with the pun)
Not really. He can lead and identify the change needed, but that will only work if the players are on board so the culture change comes from the bottom up.
Threatening players with being dropped if they don't conform (which @Frank suggested) almost always has the opposite effect.

Ireland tonight reminded me of a team I used to know.
Stoked for them
Completely destroyed us
Reiko Ionie is a poke centre.
-
@LABCAT said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
Two questions:
-
why didn't the AB's take the three towards the end? This is test match rugby not super rugby!
-
would Aki be AB's 12 now if he had stayed in NZ?
- Attempt to heap pressure on Ireland
- Probably not. I had a gripe that we don’t invest long term in guys like him but we can’t. Money talks.

Is poke good or bad?

Didn’t resign. Has to be sacked.

No, he can keep the title. Just don't let him near the team.
-
Well done to Ireland. I actually don't think they are an amazing team, but they do the basics really really well.
Cane being subbed at 65 mins (as Fitzy just said on tv) is not a good look.
Foster has fucked up his outhalves. fucked up his centres. fucked up the back row.
Lastly. The referring inconsistencies from week to week are fucking embarrassing. Ireland had 2 red cards today by current standards. I don't think they are reds personally but if the offences were committed by black shirts there would be gifs, Alastair Campbell presentations, tweets and screams of thuggery. On the UK sky sports they didn't even show a replay of the incidents post match. The whole fucking game hinged on them, The second test hinged on them.

@Kirwan said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:

Him resigning means he admits he's wrong, him being said NZR amid they were wrong. Neither will happen until we are in s much worse place
-
He's proud of how we came back in the 2nd half, and there were some nice signs there. Good stuff. Can't wait to see if we can topple the mighty Argentina this year.
-
There's no way he'll resign. The man has zero insight. He's an embodiment of the TSF slogan. He's almost as thick as the NZRU administrators who hired him.
-
So they select Karl T and give him 10 minutes. What was the point behind that selection?????
-
And while I thought Ireland had a good chance of winning, never did I suspect they would get over 30 points. We leak like a sieve.

We had the same problems since the end of Hansen’s tenure. We are not winning rucks, collisions, like we used too, we kick the ball away like we do, and we have players whose error rate for test rugby is too high.

I didn’t expect him to , probably feels some kind of loyalty to the players in a survival instinct kind of way , ,I think he will have to be tapped on the shoulder

Hardout, we used to do what Ireland did to us. We'd be the better team overall and would weather the storm (e.g. our 3rd quarter) then would pull away and win comfortably.
-
@Kirwan said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:

Well something needs to change drastically.
The same pattern over and over again. Get a good win and see progress, play completely crap and lose badly. Then in the 3rd Test reverse the order for the 1st & second halves and lose again.
It's the complete lack of acknowledgement that serious changes are needed, from NZR down to the water-carriers, I find so infuriating
-
Reado says we looked like strangers. Goldie names the coaches as culpable. This is truth
-
I highly doubt they have the guts to sack Foster.
I hope i'm wrong

I'd argue that started during Hansen's reign. I'd also argue that Foster isn't the man to fix it.
-
One thing that has really frustrated me is when people say that a particularly coach hasn't got international experience.
Great coaches are just great. People follow.We need detailed planning and organization. Our players are ok
-
@Stargazer throwing him under the bus? Fitzy wi be telling the truth. He hates losing a d there is nothing to say when you lose a series at home.

Is this true? What did he say?
Probably a fuck lot more polite then what were saying on here

Foster makes Farrell, by reputation a defensive coach, look like a bloody genius

I mean they really want to post is 'embarrassment'
