I'm not sure throwing in a bunch of rusty players instead is the answer.
You could well be right. I just referenced a comment made by someone else to get my head around Foster's selections.
You're underplaying it to a tee fella

Reckon we’re focusing too much on the ingredients and not the recipe here. Jase Ryan is coming in with a whole off-season of prep and Uncle Joe bending Fozzy’s ear. If the Argies bring the same system the ABs should know what to do but the key will be reading and reacting to anything different.

@game_film in 5 years at the helm, Fozzie is going to change things up now?
He's been playing the ultimate long game, hustling everyone with the sole goal of the RWC...

Haha no accounting for taste is there,
I think your selection standard is of a very low standard.Yep and you know what mate, it's probably as good as anyone's on here, and doesn't make an iota of difference because we never have to be proved right or wrong.
That is a matter of opinion if you think that selection v Argentina is a good one then I think you have no idea at all.Just whatever Foster does or selects is all unicorns and Rainbows as far you are concerned.
Selections that continually fail is not good selecting and once again Foster will stuff up this year like the last 3 years.
Thank Fuck he is gone for next season.He repeats the same mistakes every year.Of course it a matter of opinion, and does it worry me what you think, not an iota. I have seen nothing that would indicate you are more expert than the rest of us.
I actually like the fact that some of the risks are taken early, and I see I like what Ryan is trying with forwards, Lord (and I think it's because he a 2m+) , have a look at him and decide whether he or Vai'i going forward. Same with Frizell sort out whether he fits in with his game plan for forwards etc. Personally I would of picked SS myself ahead of BB , but I certainly don't pretend to know why or wherefors of why they been selected, Same with Clarke, but I also rightly or wrongly listen to thoughts of people who are involved at higher level and realise their thoughts are different from mine , and a lot because of how the game is played at higher levels.
Also think another reason for selections is because (and I don't like it) the whole season is aimed towards WC.
And it amuses me you think only Foster selects team.
I will add the one I do listen (well probably a fan of) in coaching group is Jason Ryan, tend to listen to what he says and admit will also take a shit load more note of him than anyone on any forum. -

Haha mate he's stuffed up then, if he planned over 5 years he only been at helm for coming uo 4!!

You reckon we will know by 2025, or will we need more time?
-
@Dan54 well he has been part of the set up for far longer and IIRC Hansen said he had more control in those latter years too, but either way, I don't think we will see any huge changes, as much as I'd love to...
-
@taniwharugby No mate, I was just having you on because of the 5 years at the helm, as the WC cycle he been in charge is only 4 years, was not serious at all!

Jeez those shirts look bloody awful. Like a child's gone mad with chalk on a snooker table.
-
@taniwharugby he doesn’t have to change, more so that the other coaches will develop the team as you’d expect them to do based on their previous success.

You can't make a good meal with low quality ingredients.
I'd love to think that we have a new solid plan about how we intend to play. A better kicking game from the back perhaps -- but then we wouldn't select Caleb and Beauden.
To me the same selections indicates the same game plan. DMac isn't really new, and we have seen how hesitant Foster was to even replace an underperforming Barrett with Mo'unga.

Agree with this bit he is an honest bloke.
But no one is telling you to believe anyone,Dont comment on my Foster posts if it upsets you.
I have my opinion on Foster backed up by his results. -

Man, Ball. Play the latter.
Huh? He said he doesn't listen to people on forums, what's wrong with my query?

It’s a web forum. Differing views / takes are welcome.
Your question is fair, but crosses the line to personal in my view.

@Joans-Town-Jones said in Argentina v All Blacks:
@No-Quarter Roigard is still green? So do we play him now or in the RWC if he's seriously a contender? You know, when he's still green? We have 4 tests. 4. Before France. We still don't know who our best loose forwards are. Centres. Wings. Full back. 10. More than half the team.
Who is We?
I'm not privy to the selectors discussions, but it's pretty clear that Cane and Savea are locked into the loose trio and, barring injuries, I'd bet plenty that Scott Barrett is their preferred blindside.
The midfield will almost certainly be Jordie and certainly Rieko.
Wings is a bit iffy, but will be clearer next week.
Mo'unga will be their 10 unless DMac absolutely knocks their socks off.
