Time to lay off Foster guys.
Hart has given the word.

@frank Fair call too. Some incredible vitriol in the media. Feel sorry for the coaches having to put up with it.

I disagree, all the successful coaches say how the pressure makes the ABs always strive for the best rather than just be good enough. Hansen often talked about it. Foster dors''t, cos he's not up to standard as a head coach. It's a simple fact, as a head coach his record is awful

Moody to miss RC?
The All Blacks name their Rugby Championship squad on Monday and with 36 players to be carried through, minimal change is expected. Blues prop Ofa Tuungafasi may be in line to return from his knee surgery which could threaten Ethan de Groot or perhaps Tyrel Lomax's place.

@victor-meldrew and the funny thing is that we had a vacation at Lake Powell which is in the middle of the desert near Vegas. On the way back we went through a Mormon town saw an ice cream shop so we stopped in to my surprise was blackberry ice cream. I had three scoops. It was wonderful.

Like Cane, Moody is out for most of the year.
I think Moody maybe back before the end of RC.
He will v be e named in the Canterbury NPC squad this week and will get a couple of runs for Canterbury so I hear.
Maybe back early September . -

From the article below:
Foster also allayed any fears over the fitness of winger Will Jordan, who came off after 43 minutes against Fiji, with what the All Blacks coach confirmed was a hamstring issue.
"Will looks like he's got a grade one [hamstring strain] - it's just a small twinge, so we pulled him off early.
"He's trying to convince the medicos that he's had this before and played the next week, but there's no game next week, so he can settle down and get over it.
"He should be fine for our camp the following week in Christchurch."
They also seem to know what their first-choice XV is. -
