@nzzp this and more. Reappointing a guy ahead of a planned review smacks of arrogance and dodginess.
If the review had been done at the agreed time Foster probably would have been gone after the 2021 EOYT.Yep 2 right. he should be long gone. The board should be cleared out also for total incompetence. How did Robinson even get the job on the board? Unbelievable !!

@mencey recent review shows support for Robinson....

fuck knows why?

First half:
A lot of mistakes from both sides.
AB kicking game good but over done.
Backs look sharp on attack, but forwards (aside from Barrett) not having much impact in close.
de Groot really bad. Penalty machine who does nothing when it comes to cleaning or carrying.
-
Given the red card danger should Jordan be dumped? And which loosie will they fly in? Finau or Ethan B? I'm guessing the latter for his utility?
-
@nostrildamus tbf, he usually jumps too (often can regather) unsure why he wasnt jumping at all for kicks today (3 times?)

My wife was asking why we were playing the entire second half in our half.
Ask Beauden and Fozzie , surely it was a team tactic,
And Mo'unga

France didn't play as well as SA
Basic handling errors hurt us.
Pleased with some of the long defensive kicks.
Start ST. Roigard bench TL will make a difference. DMac 15
Biggest challenge this team faces now is leadership and confidence
Stay positive -

dont think they were on purpose...

I loathe chip kicks

Miss the glory days of first 20 minutes SA in NZ

Don't like not being the smartest side on the field

ABs did quite well to stay in it for most of the game. Ultimately they don't have the forward pack to put pressure on the defence, nor to force turnovers with big tackles.
Kicked way too much in the last 20. Needed to take risks on counter attack.
Jordan is pretty thick ...

Haven't been the smartest side in years.

Did she ask why we are doing these little kicks

Dump a genuinely classy game breaker who has pretty much made every post a winner up until one silly mistake ?
Crikey, shall we send George Bridge an SOS ?
