I don't rule out the possibility NZR might ask Foster to go. That was a pretty shambolic performance. A repeat next week and/or in the RC and Robertson might sweep in.

Can we entice Cotter or Joseph back?

Scott Barrett best in black for mine, and probably the best thing for the ABs out of the last two tests

I would almost prefer Robertson gets a fresh start post WC but no doubt he would do a better job then #FatFoz

Cheika took over the Wallabies end of year tour 2014 and made the 2015 RWC final

Sowakula doesn't have the skill level for test rugby. A really dumb selection. Sotutu is a much better player.
Like what the hell is Sotutu doing sitting in the stands? It's more than just a dumb selection, it's absolute utter arrogant incompetence.

I don't think they see Sotutu as anything other than a no.8. Not that I rate PGS as I wouldn't have had him in my AB squad. Hopefully Ioane is available for Welly so there are other options.

What has Foster achieved? What players has he developed? What innovations has he introduced? He has done nothing but made excuses and wrecked the careers of several players.
I don’t buy the ‘we lack the cattle’ line. The NZ-born players in the Irish team were mostly journeymen before they migrated. Coaching and strategy and leadership make the difference.
NZ has none of that. In the meantime, Foster, with the support of an incompetent leadership at NZ rugby are trashing one of the world’s leading sports brands.
Travesty.

The big question is what do we do for next week to turn this around?
Sack Foz tonight.

Catch the ball. Throw passes to players. Kick sensibly.
I know it's pretty out there as a theory but why not throw caution to the wind.

This scoreline flatters us, they should have been up by 15 at half time.
A better attacking team would have hurt us a lot more
Shoe on the other foot and it would be close to 50
Y’know, I think they’d have won this without the red card, but with that hanging over it, we might not learn our lesson.

I thought the Irish had won the match pretty much at Haka time, actually even at the Anthems.
Sam Cane alluded to the issue in his post match speech, we didn’t get into the game early, in fact when was the last time the All Blacks played a dominating first 20 min and build a decent lead that the opposition had to chase.
Shots of Foster in the coaches box looked like he was playing solitaire on his laptop

Have you guys got monkeypox over there yet? That might help.
