I cant believe they didn’t sub Cane. He must be dead.

He's clearly not ready for test rugby just yet.

[Dice]

These French backs are impressive.

[Damo]

This year feels a bit like 2009.

Let's hope 2022 is like 2010.

[antipodean]

It's the same players failing us. Quelle surprise.

We need SR to give us options next year.

Apart from that strong passage early in the 2nd half, we look a bit old, a bit slow, a bit passive, not direct enough. Some major changes needed

….and get rid of those bloody mullets. Short back and sides for everyone next season thanks.

[Canes4life]

Awesome rugby by the French. Totally outplayed us in every facet.

Hopefully this game is the proverbial jumping two-footer to the back of Foster's face biting a concrete curb.

[Steven Harris]

Was Papalii injured or just not selected ..?

[Tim]

As with the first test against SA, its the 3rd quarter when we use our big carriers up the middle that we look good.

[gt12]

Do we need to start picking players from Europe?

If the best players are playing there, we might need to recognize it.

Not injured. They said he was ‘a bit beaten up’ though

No

[taniwharugby]

Unless Foster steps down he is here to stay out his time, no way do NZR sack him.

Even at the end of a long tour, there is no excuse for some of the shit that's been thrown up.

@gt12
How about picking the best coach instead of jumping to an inevitable surrender.

No

It might not be the coaching. It might be the cattle.

[Steven Harris]

@duluth would have still had him on the bench

[chimoaus]

I think this quote sums up Foster perfectly. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

[broughie]

@gt12 wouldn’t do that before we get a decent coach.
