    If it is to announce the removal of Foster, I wonder if it was already anticipated in the camp. And maybe the All Blacks played their 'massive game for the coach just sacked' one game early.

    I suppose we'll soon find out either way...

        Not a great look for NZR though. I doubt Foster was lying when asked if he would still be coach in two weeks with his “I don’t know” comment. That shows that he wasn’t set a clear target to keep his job and NZR have been clearly working behind the scenes on a preset decision without telling him.

        It wouldn't surprise me that NZR follow up a win at Ellis Park by sacking the coach. That's the level of ineptitude I expect.

                Two Springbok rugby magazines in the changing rooms? Is that what Foster hands out pregame to learn about the opposition?

                        More assistant changes I reckon or it’s completely different and it’s got something to do with the upcoming Argies series and we are trying to use the good will from last night’s win as the backdrop

                          Really loved that win last night but would be soooooo disappointed if it meant a longer Foster tenure.

                            Foster is consistenty inconsistent and it took the All Blacks to basically reach their lowest point in years and years for that performance to be produced. Kudos to Fozzie for getting the backs to stand deeper on attack, but games are won in the forwards and that credit goes to Jason Ryan - not him.

                            The players weren't playing for Foster so much as their own survival, pride and respect.
                            Many were playing for their very survival at last chance saloon should a new coach be appointed. Others were perhaps worried they would be shifted positions should a new coach come in.

                            Not getting rid of him now is a mistake because we can probably muddle through against Oz and the Argies and then there will be no cause to sack him. No more waiting, no more chances. Time to rip off the band-aid, despite it hurting the feelings of players that are close to him (such as his Christian blood brother Ardie)

                            As Rancid said, this game proves we have the players. Now we need the best coaches.

                                  Eddie Jones was in the crowd last night. Press conference to announce the ABs have swapped Razor for Jones.

                                      It's taken 3-4 years for the AB forwards to be properly organized. That's why we won. WTF NZR
                                      Hard decisions need to be made now

                                          What really fůcks me off is these comments about how we should relax now and stop bleating and how Ireland and RSA are really good and there's no shame in losing to them etc. Ffs, it's those expectations and standards that are the reason the ABs are such a marquee brand. Take that away and we're just Wales in black (no offence meant).
