    @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

    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.

                  We were up against a crowd who were so joyous and having fun. ABs were nervous, consigned to the fact they were going to be criticised. I don't care if they lose again this year. I want them to free up and have some fun

                    Not sure if the problem is solely with that lot but maybe in the paid employees headed by Mr. Robinson and including the panel that appointed the Head Coach

                      Would that have mattered? They did it to us in 04. Up until last night that 2004 match was my lowest point as far as AB performances go against the Boks.

                            At least there is no danger of peaking between World Cups this time around.

                              RWC QF exit looks our ceiling at the moment. 😞

                                      Jesus Christ, what planet is he on?

                                      “I know people are frustrated, and we’re frustrated with the results,” he added, “But you don’t achieve growth if you get too panicky and start making dramatic changes and put too much pressure on players. We want them to feel the pressure tonight, understand what it’s like playing test matches over here, and we’ve got to be sharper in what we do

                                      No wonder the players love him, he's a useless fat soft teddy bear, all touchy feely, and no pressure

                                        @Machpants TBF most improved* performance is different to saying it was our best (or did he say that too?)

                                        *most improved, who really wanted to win that trophy at prizegiving?
