The NZRFU should realise Fozz needs help. If Razor was willing to do it I would install him as the 2IC. It might help us immediately and it will be Razor's lead in to assuming the top job after the WC
Sounds a bit like 1991 though…

Yeah, it's time to get rid of a couple of assistants. McLeod has shown nothing over the last 4 years and the defence is still far too passive. Same goes for Mooar, no innovation whatsoever on attack, it's just so predictable.

Yeah that is the risk. But maybe he can help, certainly can't make it worse. Razor gets a get out of jail free card for it

Last god knows how many years we have struggled to get enough possession.

They certainly aren't a patch on GH-Smith-Hansen. Three guys with test head coaching experience

@canefan doubt he'd want to be tarnished if this keep going the way they are, also makes it better for him coming in at a lower point.

Probably. Not that anyone would hold him accountable. We might have to accept that 2019-23 will be a lost period

So that's three losses in the last five games against Ireland? We really love trying the same shit and hoping for a different result.
Our last win was in the RWC QF? We were amazing up front that day, but those sort of games seem to be the exception not the rule
-
I hope someone asks Foster if he should resign. A hard hitting question from a journalist. No structure at all. No control in the forwards. Total failure. Notice how our 2nd half try came off front foot ball in the forwards. We have learned nothing but who of us had high hopes for Foster.

Lowe and JGP are Maori. Not white guys with Irish grannies but Maori, facing the haka and winning. Fucking hilarious. This is the future the NZRU chose with Foster.
Not sure Foster can take this blame.
Watching them celebrate as hard as they did really tore into me.
It really really hurt.

NZ Covid journalism doesn’t raise hope.

@broughie
According to some posters on here, it isn't his fault. Let's just accept mediocrity and go gently into that goodnight.Players are selected and do what they are told for the most part. Foster has zero success as a head coach. As another poster said, who is chasing him outside NZ? No one, because he is shaite.
Let's go the Aussie route with cricket and League if we are accepting this level of coaching.

He's waited too long to simply give it away. And the NZRFU gave him the job, they are not in the business of firing coaches early

I have been forgiving of Foster until now but no more.
This AB coaching setup is fucked.
The reason the ABs defence had to make so many tackles is because the defensive system sucks. The defence scrambles well but it's the same passive shit from McLeod - their defence doesn't put pressure on the opposition and it doesn't turn over the ball enough. So it just means the opposition can just rack up phase after phase.
Taylor plays average all year for the ABs but of course he gets the automatic start despite Samisoni and Coles being both better options.
Very impressive kiwi halfback display - unfortunately he was playing for Ireland.
It's hard to think of many positives. Akira I think is suited to coming off the bench and showed that. Papalii I thought was good (although he doesn't get enough turnovers). Jordie was good. Jordan with a magic play.
Whitelock made the wrong call to take 3 after the Akira try got ruled out in my opinion. Should have gone the try.
Ireland deserved winners.
