The Silver Fern

And equally as bad on the field when the players are looking around for real leadership from the captain and all they see is Cane looking like a possum in headlights, again.

@Kirwan Dalton?! Did you watch the game with a wet towel over your head? He had 4 runs for 14 meters, 13 of which were his stroll to the line, and made 4 tackles. I didn’t even realise he was playing until his gimmie of a try.

Utter bollocks, Blackadder trains like Tarzan and plays like Tarzan and most likely will be the difference against teams like Ireland and SA. I would say it’s one of the few good decisions that Foster has made, but it would have been Ryan who made the call.

The replaying of everything the All Blacks have done and nothing Australia has done has been disgraceful

Surely going through to the next WC Whitelock will retain the captaincy

Why do they persist with SBW in the box. Im pretty sure that even he has no idea what he is talking about and sounds as intelligent as a rock.

Ioane made 2 passes the whole game and conceded 3 turnovers. A centre he is not.
And the stats they showed that had NZ easily dead last in turnovers made is the most damming indictment on Canes performance as a 7.

And the great Fozz stamps his name on yet another abysmal record…

Does it mean that we have actually have had the cattle for the last 4 years, but the coaching hasn’t been up to it until the last 6 weeks?

TJ has been pretty average for quite a while now

@junior I don’t think Vaii should or will get near another AB squad, unless he shows massive improvements at Super level.

Fosters ability to make very good players look terrible is really quite extraordinary.

Playing against 13 like schoolboys who have no idea what to do. What Foster has done to the AB psyche in 3 years is both frighting and horrifying at the same time.

Wayne Barnes will be the only happy Englishman on the planet right now…

What have these commentators been watching? The second half has been absolutely abyismal considering how good the first half set it up.

Unfathomable that they are not playing Conway in this test. He is 29, we aren’t talking about a young rookie here that needs to be eased into the test arena.

Absolute rubbish first year for Rennie, especially with more than 70% of their tests on home soil.

All the talk on the breakdown about MacKenzie and the clutch. When it really counted in the final Mounga had the clutch and MacKenzie melted under the pressure.

SBW is a horrible, horrible presenter

@MN5 I could count 20 players that have pulled on the All Black jersey this year that have played worse that Bridge ever did in black.
