All Blacks v Argentina II

[Stargazer]

@Tim And Papali'i on the bench!

[Bovidae]

Hey, at least they don't have to replace ST now when the reserve props come on.

Montoya played almost the entire game.

Some great work developig depth for the future Foster, and rewarding the medicority of the present. Fosters Follies and the Undroppables - a band name from the age of rugby that they play (amateur)

[Chris]

Well continuity in HC,Continuity in selections.

At least I suppose they are staying strong on some convictions.

Rebuilding

[Kirwan]

I'd change 6, 10, 12, 14 (For Reece).

Would have brought back Ofa for the bench too after the limp performances last week from the bench.

[taniwharugby]

I wonder if Foster knows what rebuilding means?

[Stargazer]

@Chris Apart from Taylor, I don't think the players are the problem.

Game plan, and how it is communicated to the players (lack of clear messaging), and defence seem to be the main issues IMO. That's on the coaches, particularly Foster and Mcleod.

[Nepia]

Taylor out and Papali'i in are two positives for me.

The worrying thing though is that maybe this was just Taylor's rotation out anyway and he was always going to sit this one out.

Sack him.

This is disgraceful carryon. Even if they win.

They have lost 6 out of 8 and mediocrity shouldn't be rewarded.

The crest on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back.

100% that is my thinking watching from a far.

[Steve]

Imagine how Perofeta feels.

They don’t have names on the backs….

Who

[MN5]

What a weird time to be an AB fan.

In the past coaches would have made wholesale changes after a historic home loss to Argentina ( not forgetting a historic series loss to Ireland prior to that )

They can’t ALL have dodgy photos of him surely ?

[ARHS]

Only real quibble is Reece not starting or in 23

[Chris]

Joe Schmidt looks like he backs that Backline being attack/back coach he would have had a big say in selections.

[Steve]

Sotutu, RTS, Vaii and Fakatava must be wondering what the fucking point is at this stage.

yes, thoeretically you're right...but its still pretty worrying that these guys havent taken it on themselves to sort it out on the field if what the coaches are telling them isn;t working again...and again

was it in the foster thread someone posted that he had pretty much said theyre not doing what hes telling them

something has to bloody change
