    not sure the NZR are great on transparency or competence.
    If the ABs don't make at least the RWC QF I hope the whole board resign.

    Have we sunk so low that just making it out of the pool will be considered an achievement?

    To get to QF after winning 2/8 games? I am afraid so.

    Quarters isn't a problem, semis is.
    4 of the top 5 teams are fighting for 2 spots.
    If we don't make the semis we won't be the only good team that doesn't.

    WR have had their dumb pool draw system really come in to roost this time.

                      The opposition are always shite when the ABs win. It's a totally new phenomenon which was only discovered when Foster was appointed coach.

                          Nope I recall us playing England a few decades ago when they toured they were definitely shite.

                              Despite anything you might think about Foster that game last night was well up there in AB performances. Was a modern equivalent of the famous wet game against Oz at Athletic Park.
                              3!!!!!! handling errors all game on a wet night !!
                              Had punchy forward play and flashy back play.
                              Just enjoy it.

                                      Not to make light of it but I feel like we are in an "uncertain" relationship. Sometimes it's a shit show and sometimes things are amazing. I am stoked with the result but I'm not sure quite how we got there - which is the bit that makes me feel like the grinch!

                                        The game plan was better. We played much better. Just need to back up next game to suggest this is real improvement and not a one off response

                                          If we'd put Argentina away last week like we should have, despite that atrocious reffing performance where he seemed hell bent on penalising the fuck out of the team trying to play rugby, you'd have to concede that the new coaching set up has made a real difference.

                                          I think it's clear we are moving in a better direction now. Last night was the most confident performance we've seen in a while. Yeah Argentina were probably unlikely to back up after last week, but a 50 point drubbing in the wet is pretty bloody impressive.

                                          I also like that we are now rewarding form with consistent selections instead of always going back to the more "experienced" players. It's allowing the team to build solid combinations which will help when the heat is on.

                                          Really looking forward to the next two games, it's a chance for this team to make a real statement.
