Is this rock bottom yet?
Ellis Park was.
They must have found some of that dry 2019 powder to keep tunnelling deeper through the rock.

Not yet, losing the Bledisloe, Eden Park Hoodoo, losing to Japan and getting knocked out in the pool stage could happen.

Unlikely to lose the Bledisloe - this year we've been goodgame/badgame so you're guaranteed at least one win and keep the Hoodoo at the same time. Fuck you'll probably win both with Razor as your coach.

@MN5 I could count 20 players that have pulled on the All Black jersey this year that have played worse that Bridge ever did in black.
-
All I would ask for is specialists in each position.
A few experienced heads need a time on the pine too.
Id hook Aaron Smith, Havili, Taylor for a start.
Cane or Savea. Not both.
Give Fakatava , Sotutu, Papalii, Perofeta, a run.
Most of this team have lost 6 of the last 8 tests . They don't deserve to keep their spots.
Ruthlessness applies off the pitch too. Hook them.

Perofeta
He got 90 seconds in a losing effort. What more could Foster do?

Obviously Savea over Cane. Savea’s been our best player for the last three seasons. Move him to 7 and make Sam W captain.
I agree on Taylor, Havili and Smith. They aren’t up to it anymore.

I'd even say have Savea as Captain - he's always putting in 80 minute performances.

I wouldn’t disagree. And Whitelock’s not getting any younger.

@NTA pick a Fijian off the bench twice and then discard him, and fuck up his international career
-
Congrats to Perofeta on his debut. He’s a good player and hopefully he gets an actual run in the upcoming matches.
I sort of hate that last couple of minutes subbing. The “Kevin Senio” sub.
-
Keep in mind that DeGroot and Newell were essentially forced on Foster.
Could have easily been Taavao and Ofa out there plodding around.
Never forget this melt only gave Samisoni 2 bench spots out of 3 match day squads in the Irish series. Dropped him completely for one of them.

So where to now? I'm sure Jeff "the ABs are still the best in the world by some distance" Wilson believes Foster is the man and the record over the last 2 years is warranted to maintain the head coaching position.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???
We were good for 30 mins then went to complete shit, back to the same old crap we've seen for the last 3 years. Aaron Smith stopped running, one up hit ups, poor passing and Codie Taylor is costing us meters and points. Will Jordan is a shadow of his attacking self but this is just fucked. What an embarrassment.
Will Jordan should be the fullback. he will break the line and cause chaos. Jordie is functional. Jordan is the closest thing we have to Ben Smith/Dagg in the the squad.
I guess you missed Jordie setting up a try?
ah come on mate.
I guess if you ignore all evidence to the contrary, then your argument stands.
Rieko made that try by fixing 2 defenders. Jordie had a simple draw and pop.
Im talking about a consistent body of work at line breaking. Its facetious to suggest Jordie over Jordan.
I like Jordie. but if he isn't going to be taking the kicks would it be any worse to have Jordan at FB today and Reece on the right wing?
Jordie ran the line that made that try possible. The bloke you think is only a winger drew two players and gave the pass to the fullback running the right line.
Meanwhile Jordan couldn't beat a defender the entire game.

Yeh Jordan was nothing this game, and it's not Joride's fault Mo'unga insists on taking the kicks. Joride kicks, we win this game.
But I'm glad we didn't, we didn't deserve to.
And I hope we lose the next 3, there has been so much paper covering cracks. Hansen sticks to his guns and leaves Foster to do the 2 years running up to RWC19, and then Foster is gone. Henry not being a complete wankstain about his boys club after the shit leading upto 2019 and Foster is gone. Have a decent board that knows about high performance, and is not sucked in by Covid sob stories Foster is gone. Have a CEO that has some experience and balls when things go wrong this year, and Foster is gone. But I think that is the only way we will get change that should have happened in 2017/2020/2021/2022 is for our results to be so bad, so obviously beyond the pale that even NZR and Robinson with their heads so far up their own arseholes can see it.
If that means coming last in RC and losing the Bled**, then that is a price worth paying to get NZ high performance back on track. Hopefully this Silver Lake deal required review cleans out the board and management as well. We know NZR doesn't have the competence or balls to get rid of him, and Foster (and the board) don't have the honour to fall on their own swords, we need short term pain to start the long term gain. If Foster had any honour or respect for the black jersey he would've resigned by now.
This new low is so far from acceptable it is not funny
**Oh and Eden Park record, cos Foster collects those shit records like he does shit vinyl ones. Fifth time lucky for NZR?

@ACT-Crusader Perofeta = Grace in 2020. Less than 1 min in a loss.
