@Donsteppa said in Will Foster go?:
And if he doesn't go... how many people are honestly looking forward to tuning into the next Test?
Not me. If they play like this they’re not my team. I’d rather watch club rugby.

@Duluth said in Foster must go:
The realistic option is Schmidt
He starts his AB contract right now. So no other logistics needed.
Does he want a head coach role though?
@Duluth I know you can't answer that but I'm not convinced he wants a head coach role, so we are either stuck with Foster or we go to Razor with Schmidt taking the reigns short term. I'd love for Schimidt to take over for what it's worth.
reins
Sorry - but I've noticed it a couple of times now...
(Edit: to be fair, you could nearly go with reign - without the s)There's never a wrong time for pedantry.

@DaGrubster said in Foster must go:
Oh I hear ya. It’s just our defence has been a big bear of mine for a while now!
Our attack being poor is a fairly new phenomenon tbf.
But we do look like we run out of ideas fairly quickly.
There is so much wrong in this side at the moment. Even their haircuts are shit
Jordie to his credit tried to sort that at least

@MajorRage said in Will Foster go?:
He won’t go. No way.
Food for thought …. Records there to be broken. Is the current Irish team good enough to be on this list?
Point is. If they are, move on. If they aren’t … sack Foster.
Well they are ranked number one in the world now so it’s fair to say they’re a decent team.

All Blacks were a disgrace in that first half
Never thought I’d witness them being booed from the field, but that’s exactly what happened as they headed underneath us into the tunnel at half time.All the ABs could do was kick the fucking ball away, or pass the ball to someone standing flat footed.
We play slow, predictable, stodgy rugby.
Worst All Blacks Coach in my lifetime!

@Kirwan you'd have to think if Foster has any self awareness he must be considering if he can continue?
It must be massively stressful for him and his family, didn't Henry's wife talk about the shit they went through.
I feel for him in a way, circumstances saw him raised above his station, I can understand he thought he had it in him, and convinced other he had it in him, evidence now says the opposite, no shame in him accepting that and stepping down...unless he isn't considering it...

@Kirwan said in Foster must go:
Stafford shitstirring, or is there a press conference?
Probably will end being a Press conference to reassure the public they and Foster have everything under control, and it is all another learning curve under this coaching regime.We should all calm down and trust Foster and the NZR as they know better
If there is even a press conference. -
@taniwharugby Agree.
But if Foster thinks this is bad, after another couple of losses it will just get worse. If we go into the RWC with the current track record then worse still.
So either he thinks he can fix it, and all will come right, or he will resign. I'm betting, judging on his previous history, that he thinks he can fix it.
Whether NZ Rugby tell him otherwise, who knows?

Fitzy thinks -
Talking on Sky Sport UK following the third test, the 92-test capped All Black said on the evidence seen over the last three weeks, New Zealand doesn't have a side to win the World Cup next year."They'll obviously be hugely disappointed to lose the series. But I suppose the style in which they lose the series will be concerning going forward," Fitzpatrick said.
"The questions will be asked. Have they the right coaches? Have they the right head coach? We were outcoached, without question. So they need to decide what they're going to do in terms of going forward.
"Have they got the right players? That's going to be another question, and have they got a team that's capable of winning the World Cup? On what we've seen in the last two weeks, you would doubt that.
"We do have Joe Schmidt in the wings, he'll be coming back into the team now when they go to South Africa, so we'll just wait and see. Let's not throw the toys out of the cot just yet."
Anyone calling for Foster to go now is throwing their toys out of the cot in a tantrum.
Idiot. -

Let GH explain what pressure Fozz is under
At 1hr 30. Or watch the whole thing.... The pressure on Fozz must be immense right now

Idiot.Did anyone ask Fitzy how many Irishmen he’d select in a combined XV ?

@Chester-Draws it will get worse, we have 2 tests in SA next up...we are looking down the barrell of 1 from after that at the moment.
In the presser after the game he said we were more bothered by thier linespeed than previously? NH sides and our linespeed has been an issue for a while.

Last time I remember this sort of heat was Hart after that loss in the WC. The public wanted his head from memory.

@MrDenmore said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
Wasn’t Foster supposed to hold a media conference this morning? I thought it started at 0900 NZT
If Foster planned it it’s no surprise it didn’t work out.
