You know what, I don't give a shit about the World Cup. I care that our mana is being damaged here every other test by Foster and co. Test matches are important. It was all lovely and fluffy to hear Richie talk about the team culture, but what the hell happened to the AB coach that put the fear of god into you that losing is just not acceptable. If you play badly, kiss your position goodbye. You're not AB material. This woke world of accepting failure is destroying the All Blacks. We will be just another team in less than 2 years if this crap keeps up.
You've put your finger on what I've hated about the later Hansen and Foster eras. Accepting failure. A Grizz Wylie or Laurie Mains team would have been terrified coming off the paddock after blowing a lead like that knowing the utter bollocking that was coming their way. Tomorrow morning would be tackling practice until they passed out.
To fucking wright. That gave me a laugh. I hate fucking mediocrity. The reputation of the All Blacks has taken a total beating in the last few years. At least I now live in Canada where not 2 many people gives a fuck about rugby. I would be losing my voice if I was the AB coach after that pile of shit. But Foster will just come out with his usual bull. We will lose Razor at this rate and then who will coach after next years debacle which is all I can C at this rate.
I'm with you 1000 per cent.

Yep. Old school. Love it. Miss it.

Fucking ah !!

Can't criticize the forwards at all
JB great
9 10 should have kept it close in at the end
Hate the cross kick
Needed Fox or Carter at the end -
This halfback high kick needs looking at
Generally it's sh*t -
I remember Fox drilling kicks into the corners
Why not? -

Nepo is a serious defense liability. Both breaks have been down his channel
That was a ridiculous selection as well. This over emphasis on experience needs to stop. Shit players need to be dropped, no matter how experienced they are. Newell is a superior player atm.

Why not?I remember forwards with no idea of ball skills. Let's try that too.

@Bones And if Andrew Mehrtens had hit that drop kick, he'd have won the World Cup with a team that had been poisoned.
Drop kicks are dumb though.......

@canefan So does Cardiff 1905. Losing always does.
We won. Deans scored.

I reckon the ABs had a word to Raynal before the match about England tactics. Hence those first couple of penalties. But really he didn't like it so decided if they're going to "lecture" him on those, he's going to go hard line on them for anything slight.

Watching it back. Discipline cost us that one. Fix that and we'd have had a big win. England were outstanding in those last ten minutes. Crowd lifted them. Two of our finishers (Perenera and Laulala) should be nowhere near the squad next year. Whitelock and Savea ran out of legs at the end there too.

Now that I have calmed down a bit, I think there are some real good signs with that NZ team.
Our forwards are going well and structure seems to be good. We might go OK next year so long as we keep improving.
I am fan of Scott Barrett at 6. I think with Savea at 8 and hopefully Papallii at 7, he is the man to play 6.
Rayna is not a good referee.
