All Blacks v Pumas 1

No Quarter

@No-Quarter said in All Blacks v Pumas 1:

We started strong but have reverted to type again now.

I know I said I understood NZRs decision to keep Foster on for the sake for the players, but if we lose to Argentina at home then he has to be canned immediately.

I think they have signed him to the World Cup on haven't they?

Every contract is up for negotiation. They can get rid of him if they really want to, golden handshake style.

Get Frizzell off.
he's played well... Certainly been busy in the tight.

I know I said I understood NZRs decision to keep Foster on for the sake for the players, but if we lose to Argentina at home then ~~he has to be canned immediately.~~ will voluntarily resign thus saving the NZRUF any payout on his contract

Also could be a chance to recoup a bit of income from doing him for breach of contract and claimin a hundred grand from him for it.

Frizzell is a decent ball carrier, but his defence is shit.

No

So we need a converted try just to draw at this stage.

We’re losing the battles of the inches, the screwing up in kickable range.

Chris

Foster racking up these records

Tim

The new front row is utterly shit house. No commitment to the ruck.

Can't blame the ref for this. We have just been shit.

I don't think we have. This ref is removing all opportunity for momentum and inventing offences.

Argentina haven't played any rugby.

JC

The worst thing is that if we lose this there can’t be any consequences. Of well, it’s only a friendly.

Chris

Cane gone again

And why change them out so early???

Cane is an awful captain.

Nice guy.

Shit captain.

Yeah, we seem mentally weak. As soon as something doesn't go our way we start playing panicked rugby and making errors. In this game the ref has flustered us and we haven't reacted well at all. Under McCaw we would have adapted but tonight we've just lost our way completely.

Is there any way to postpone the Eden Park game vs Australia?

Steve

Cane hooked at 66 minutes.

The optics of that again.........

This team is having its soul ripped out.
