Ofa with an update on his injury -
"Tough call not to travel away with the team. Nothing major, just a couple of weeks to let the Cervical nerves settle down".

Incredible photo to use!

Look where bundee O'Aki 's hand is, damaging his neck, the bastard!

Either that or looking for some chicken to steal

You know what occurred to me this morning as I watched us get fingered like drunk school girls?

We keep being told about building towards a world cup

For 20 years world cups have been won by territory, set piece, defence, and kicking goals.

What would you say our strength is in these areas? What improvements have you seen in these areas?

Are we picking teams to win these areas?

Looking for a game they might be able to win?

@Crucial I was waiting for that sort of comment. An easier first-up game if there is a new coach for the EOYT.

Your arrogance is showing

[Kirwan]

This speaks to the pressure the players, Cane in particular, are under.

With the struggles players like Hooper and Akira have been pretty open about, its a good reminder we can be critical without being cruel.

[Chris B.]

@antipodean Saw that the other night.

Speaks well and confidently and seems to have some clear ideas.

He seems solid, like him. Almost a bit damning of Foster unintentionally when he said Fozzie had a clear idea of what needed to change in the forwards, but obviously Foster couldn't effect that change himself .

More damning of Plumtree IMO. If Foster has been laying out the vision and it's not being implemented then the only fault that lays with him is supporting Plumtree at the end of last year.

While that may be true, there is no 'only'. Foster is the head coach, and team performance is his responsibility. Whether it is caused by Foster's failings or Foster accepting Plumtree's failings is irrelevant.

Only if you want to ignore a problem may have been fixed.

I want Paps and Sotutu to get some game time. We could be missing a trick here
