So how does a team with three Kiwis who were never going to be ABs beat us?
The other 12 players around them helped a bit

Lowe should have been an All Black change my mind

Will Jordan gives away a penalty. Sums up the night. Not that we really had a chance tonight - unlike the 2019 Semi. No progress since 2019 at all.
Hard questions need to be asked. The argument that we lost a lot of great players and it takes time to rebuild is rubbish. Not blaming Foster for everything, but there's something not quite right mentally with this team
EDIT: Keep the Defence coach - he's earned his keep.

@chris coaching doesn't make Havili kick like an idiot.
But it makes Jordie and BB kick all our ball away.
Havilli made one shit kick what about all the other shit kicks are they all shit players no just adhering to a shit game plan again. -
Jordie, Papalii, Blackadder were good. 2nd half disappointing.
Needed to remain patient panicked in 2nd half
BB a big loss -
Johnny 101.
Classy in his commentary.
-
This is I must say the loss we needed.
We have to make changes in the front five and the midfield is a mess.
-
Referee was fine overall but that TMO can suck a dick, not every little decision needs to be looked at for 5 minutes you fluffybunny. Also, that was not a YC for Taylor (probably didn't change the result, though).
Jonathan Sexton looks like a perpetual 12 year old whiny little neighbor's boy, David Havili and Rieko Ioane aren't a midfield's butthole. -

Yes not learning from that SF.
4 th loss in 2 years playing the same way. -
We have some issues with our depth in really key backline positions.
Behind A Smith we have nothing. The cupboard is bare. If he's not playing we struggle.
Mo'unga is not a test 10s asshole. He's been found out time and again against the top sides, just doesn't have what it takes at the top level. With Beauden in the twilight of his career we have noone coming through, again cupboard is bare.
We don't have a test class 12 other than (maybe) ALB. Cupboard is bare.
When our 9-10-12 axis is not test quality then we will get disjointed performances like this as nobody takes control of the game and directs play.

I’d make it the other 20 around them.

It's in addition to Havili doing fuck all. At least Jordie and BB did something where as Havili did nothing. He wasn't the only one but it shows he's not the best player for the position.

BB a big lossWas Blackadder really good? He seemed pretty ineffective to me. High workrate but doesn't dominate in the contact area and is pretty inaccurate at the breakdown.
Ardie's worst game in black this year imo.

@no-quarter You sure love to hate on Mo'unga. BB has offered nothing more in the big games. Nothing. And people are blaming me for having an eye patch, haha.

Ireland has won 3 out of the last 5 Tests against us
Was just thinking that. Nothing for 111 years and now 3-2 five years later.
