    I wonder if the coaches of South Africa France and England are getting as much grief for losing so many test matches this year.

    Probably but only 2 of that sides have played the ABs (who were briefly no.1) and both sides have beaten us.
    The English no doubt console themselves with thinking we are too scared to face them.

    As to vitriol, I think it could get much, much, worse.

    I'm just pleased we didn't play Scotland so we could keep one of our unbeaten records.

    Wales must be gutted about missing a golden opportunity to beat us

      I’m devastated. If the Argies can beat the ABs then the Scots woulda been a massive chance.

          @mn5 He actually didn't say that. It's just your typical clickbait headline from the media.

          This is what he said...

          "I dream of a day when the Six Nations provides three or who knows maybe all four semi-finalists at a World Cup. Why not? It can happen."

                Pot calling the kettle black here. Bidnowell has a long sequence of click bait articles with no commonsense at all and now he is suddenly the messiah of rugby journalism. I wonder if the coaches of South Africa France and England are getting as much grief for losing so many test matches this year. Each match we lost we were well in with not too long to go and with a crucial player error or two lost the opportunity to go ahead or to close out. There are indeed plenty of work ons and maybe Razor might come into the coaching group to add some new ideas.
                But have we all really sunk to this level of vitriol where we are all looking at every opportunity to put the knife in to the NZRU and ABs if we don't get our way.

                Agree Bidwell pretty much seems to hate just about anything to do with rugby in NZ, but to his credit he's one of the few sports journalists not captured by the "SR Aotearoa is the greatest rugby competition on the planet" echo chamber.

                  That video might be the perfect summary of how the All Blacks have become the so-called "flat track bullies".
                  An absurd number of tries against Tonga, 1/4 of the year's tries scored in the first 2 warm-up games of the season... 1/3 in the first 3.
                  <fishing emojicon> George-bloody-Bridge scoring tries, for chrissake </fishing emojicon>
                  And then... yeah, shit gets a bit harder.
                  Yeah, that's to be expected somewhat, but...
                  Fuck - I'd forgotten about the seppos... that bloated the stats nicely.

                      Like that makes any difference. I assume they try win whenever they play us, no matter what pithy comments fans make online.

                            Probably but only 2 of that sides have played the ABs (who were briefly no.1) and both sides have beaten us.
                            The English no doubt console themselves with thinking we are too scared to face them.

                            As to vitriol, I think it could get much, much, worse.

                            I'm just pleased we didn't play Scotland so we could keep one of our unbeaten records.

                            That is probably going straight to the Scottish dressing room for RWC2023

                            Like that makes any difference. I assume they try win whenever they play us, no matter what pithy comments fans make online.

                            Naaaaa in 2007 they rested a bunch of players against the ABs to rest them for Italy the next week.

                            ... and wrecked our warmup for the quarters. Which we then borked by going to the south of france to clear our heads. Yeah, that worked.

                              Scots had a great win over the Eye ties though. Best part of that was winning a bet against a bloke of Italian descent that I worked with back then. I then gave up gambling cos it’s a mugs game.

                                        No it really wouldn't, most everyone would be stoked if we had improved sufficiently for that to happen. The stick Foster is getting is due to his shit results, obtained in a shit manner, and his shit history with the Chiefs which meant that plenty of people couldnt understand his appointment and expected shit results and are frustrated to have been proved correct.

                                          2022 will be different. Ireland 3 times, SA in SA, England, Scotland, Wales, off session France maybe.
                                          Omicron permitting 🥺

                                          I just worry Foster will win all of them as this would trigger multiple posts on how Jesus Chrobertson or another favourite coach would have won with twice the margin and with the AB "B" team....

                                          Well, your post might be the first time on the Fern where a poster (in this case me) has predicted something might happen and it does - before the predicted event...
