Interviewing drunk kiwis in a FanZone. Fuck... I thought THAT was a new low.
And then they pull out the inane "up the wahs" - whatever the fuck that means.Some inane catchphrase about some other sporting organisation I believe
The wahine? Is this PC mandated supporting of ladies' sport gone mad?

Wahs = Warriors.

New lows, interviewing fans for expert analysis of the game. Still probably better than Justin Marshall

Actually Marshy has been good. He's been calling for the same team to be played this year with minor tweaks. This team looks completely disjointed and with 3 easy games coming up Foster is going to change the phuck out of them.

We lost the battle .. but we got a war to win.. wow some reasurrence from the Capt. Stay captain pls
-
Foster is the worst choice ever. Seems a nice guy but he is just not up to it. The icing on the cake would be losing to Ireland in a ¼ final.

Right now, I’m nervous about Italy.

The senior group of players who went to bat for him in the hotel in South Africa need an uppercut too.
We nearly had him out the door and they convinced Robinson not to pull the trigger.

Queue the over-reactions. We didn't expect to win, we have tons of injuries, no depth on the bench etc. Things didn't quite flow for us, some 50/50 moments certainly, not really sure it was a 14 point game but alas. We won't fucking lose to Italy, we'll blow them away. Chances are we take on Ireland in the QFs, which probably suits us more.
I don't know mate. Lose, but lose like you know what you are doing.
That was clueless from selection table to performance.

Yep. Sums things up for me 100%

Hmm. Two big turn points cost us. Substitution of Aaron Smith and a howler from Finlay Christie totally lost momentum. Brain explosion from Dalton Papalii in front of the ref cost us heavily and he could have been pinged a couple of minutes later.
Tactics seemed daft in second half. What on earth did Havili bring? Can't quite figure out average kicking game. Mounga saved his day with the glorious try saving tackle. Beauden and Will Jordan were a real mixed bag for me.
Pluses were Mark Telea with his energy, the form of our locks with Brodie back and the work of Ardie in the second half.
Jacobson did a lot of good stuff when he came on. Was Vaii the right selection at 6?
French were great with Mauvaka Alldritt and Penaud standouts for me. Thought Jaco Peyper was very good.
Final comment is why the hell do you sub Telea in that situation when Will Jordan is so rocks and diamonds.
Correction. 3 turn points with the stereotypical high risk turned bad moment from Will Jordan -
@Stargazer he had a great game

no mention of WJ's brain explosion?

Just seen Fosters interview.
What an uninspiring, insipid, wet blanket.
An empty blazer.
He’s an absolute fucking fluffybunny. A useless piston wristed gibbon.
But my real anger is for the numpties who appointed him and re-appointed him.
-
What a disappointment - again. I was pissed off from early in first half when Ardea decided to take a shot at the posts when France were clearly under the pump and puffing! Watching the kicks this way and that way just too frustrating for words. Be sure to beat Italy in the pool, Ireland in the QF and pull off a miracle against whoever in the Semi-Final and then to see France in the Final?
