          But we should talk about the players when the coaching is clearly defunct. Because they're playing shit in his team but not other teams.

            I have wondered how much of it may be game plan, v perhaps not being willing to vary or ‘go against’ a game plan once on the field. The kicking tactics early against Ireland spring to mind from players normally much better. Selections and combinations from the coach also in the mix.

              @Bones Your right when you say players are accountable too. But let's look at the facts. Nothing changed tactically between the 2nd and 3rd Irish Tests. Now we go to South Africa and can't handle there aerial bombardment, a tactic they've used on us before. Same Cane said it was a game of margains. He's right bloody big ones. They were men, we were boys. We once again got our arse handed to us on a plate. Foster said he saw improvement, oh good, then maybe in sometime this year we'll win another test. NO. Sorry Foster your time is up and you just simply have to go. No ifs buts or maybes. You are not up to this, now do the decent thing.

                @Tim 1 from 4 this year alone, will be 1 from 5 after next week.

                Didn't get up for this one, looking at the HT/FT score I don't think I'll bother with the replay, mowing lawns appeals more 🤔

                What other records can we break this year?

                First 4 in a row?
                First 5 in a row?
                Lose Bledisloe?
                Lose at Eden Park?
                Lose to Wales?
                Lose to Scotland?

                  @Donsteppa and then the uncharacteristic errors, sure the pressure does that too, but if you aren't clear on what you and the guys either side of you are meant to be doing, where you are going, that split second of indecision can be huge.

                  There has been zero improvement in 5 years, sure that's not all on Foster, but if he was a good coach he'd have recognised some of the issues earlier and put plans in motion to rectify.

                  From what I hear about Razor, it's his meticulous preparation and planning that sets him apart, not necessarily HIS coaching abilities, but the fact he gets everyone on the same page, unlike now as I'm not sure all our guys are even reading the same book...

                    Two decades of Foster's coaching surely tell only one story. It doesn't matter how many variables you try and explain or excuse it away with, you just do not get high performance results with this guy in charge of a rugby team.

                      I don't want ill on anyone but Foster and the PR team are having a mare atm! Does he not know who he is talking to and the history of the team? To come out and say that is the best performance of the season, a game in which we did not look like manufacturing a try (and only scored one of an individual linebreak) just is terrible play. It was an improvement no doubt and boys showed way more heart but if that performance is a bottom line we are f=*ked.
                      Speak from the heart, that's what I enjoy about Ryan, have some passion, it rubs off on players!!

                        I can understand why Razor might want to stay out of it right now. It appears we have so much to do to clean out the rot from 2019. But I wish he'd take up the challenge and I'd accept the consequences and not blame him if we don't have a miraculous turnaround

                            I guess he could start from scratch and pick his team after SR with time to set up his systems

                                @Donsteppa and then the uncharacteristic errors, sure the pressure does that too, but if you aren't clear on what you and the guys either side of you are meant to be doing, where you are going, that split second of indecision can be huge.

                                There has been zero improvement in 5 years, sure that's not all on Foster, but if he was a good coach he'd have recognised some of the issues earlier and put plans in motion to rectify.

                                From what I hear about Razor, it's his meticulous preparation and planning that sets him apart, not necessarily HIS coaching abilities, but the fact he gets everyone on the same page, unlike now as I'm not sure all our guys are even reading the same book...

                                I can understand why Razor might want to stay out of it right now. It appears we have so much to do to clean out the rot from 2019. But I wish he'd take up the challenge and I'd accept the consequences and not blame him if we don't have a miraculous turnaround

                                Will it be any better next year after the RWC?

                                I guess he could start from scratch and pick his team after SR with time to set up his systems

                                @canefan well I think EOYT would be a better opportunity, maybe NZR give him control of picking the other nz 15 too, so he can pick his AB and 2nd 15, plus it will allow him to get any npc players that catch his eye

                                  @Billsy111 sorry, I was taking the piss. The buck stops at the coaching, all aspects.

                                  I was too sleep deprived to figure it out. But it did allow a few more swats at Ferret Foster for the sake of BoP Mafia nostalgia...

                                    I'm all for it. NZRFU will have to fire Fozz. Then the board can practice what Robinson preaches and resign

                                      @Bones Your right when you say players are accountable too. But let's look at the facts. Nothing changed tactically between the 2nd and 3rd Irish Tests. Now we go to South Africa and can't handle there aerial bombardment, a tactic they've used on us before. Same Cane said it was a game of margains. He's right bloody big ones. They were men, we were boys. We once again got our arse handed to us on a plate. Foster said he saw improvement, oh good, then maybe in sometime this year we'll win another test. NO. Sorry Foster your time is up and you just simply have to go. No ifs buts or maybes. You are not up to this, now do the decent thing.

                                        Foster has turned us into the Chiefs (pre-Rennie version) of world rugby.
