All Blacks 2022

@Crucial no mate that is a criticism of the Coaching staff. This is the All Blacks we are used to winning, we have that culture. Under Foster we have been strategically stupid. Look at what Leon has done with the Blues, with a couple of personnel changes and better coaching he turned the team around. The Blues improves each year, with Foster the ABs have gone backwards over the last 2 seasons.

We've have been going backwards since 2016-7 - long before Foster took over. There's a variety of reasons for that decline , but to blame it all on one man just isn't really a valid argument.
Yeah he's done some dumb stuff but he's also done some pretty good stuff as well. Just hope we see less of the former and more of the latter this year.

Well the Blues are proving that Foster is a selecting genius tonight.(apart from Christie)

Ah gotcha. Thank God for the SR heroes like havili and mounga, they'll bring to tough physical test matches

Real issues at tighthead.
Would be seriously looking at giving Franks a recall. Known quantity and a reliability at set piece, tackle and breakdown. Who cares if he isn't a carrying option. At least we would have the ball to do something with.

If that's auto replace at work that's genius.

Ofa's scrum problems were evident again tonight, and he had Romano packing behind him. I think all 3 THs in the AB squad will have been put on notice because I don't expect them all to be at RWC 2023.

@Crucial that’s one opinion. Of course we don’t know what happens behind the scene but you don’t always have to be on the inside to know that things are not working right. I don’t have to work for Joe Biden to know he a complete buffoon. I judge him by his results. Same with Fosters ABs. Hope he proves me wrong.

He was specifically asked how his thumb was after the game and he said it was OK. I think the article is blowing up that it wasn't fully healed.

I'm surprised he didn't say it has fallen off yet so I'm good.

If GOAT can play a RWC on a broken foot, Sam can play with a broken thumb
