    Of all the things I've seen discussed, I think the ABs should be focused on their defensive system, ball retention and territorial kicking game. They win world cups. Focus on keeping teams at the right end of the pitch and squeezing them into mistakes. NZ have shown that they are still capable of capitalising on transitions. The talent is there.

    Too many teams are scoring 25+ points against NZ these days. Below 20 and NZ are still looking ok.

    Agreed.

    As a general rule, if we keep other teams to less than 20 points, we are basically unbeatable ( I think I saw this stat somewhere).

    Equally, if we are kept to less than 20 points, the loss percentage goes through the roof. If teams are taking their chances on penalties to maul, they can probably get above that number unless we do something about it.

      If you can stomach a bit of reason, there was an interesting snippet

      When you also consider that six of the lads entered the MIQ lottery to get off the tour – Scott Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu were successful – then you wonder if this is the happy camp that is constantly being spoken of.

      I didn't realize 6 individuals applied to get out early

      https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/opinion/127070598/mark-reason-alarming-drop-in-crusaders-all-blacks-form-an-indictment-of-coach-ian-foster

      The uncharitable might even think that it is all part of a diabolical Foster plot to undermine Scott Robertson and the Crusaders ahead of the new season
      

      really, is anyone actually thinking that except him?

      Jesus, I don't even think the Cantabs on here would come up with something as silly as that. We all missed a trick, we should have been journos and we could be getting paid for the bollocks we write on the Fern on a daily basis.

      ha ha, journo's don't really get paid any more. It's minimum wage I think, and it's tragic.

                              of course not, just sounds like she smokes a few packs a day in between a few snack packs... doesnt sound distinctly Australian, just distinctively bogan 🙂

                                Of all the things I've seen discussed, I think the ABs should be focused on their defensive system, ball retention and territorial kicking game. They win world cups. Focus on keeping teams at the right end of the pitch and squeezing them into mistakes. NZ have shown that they are still capable of capitalising on transitions. The talent is there.

                                Too many teams are scoring 25+ points against NZ these days. Below 20 and NZ are still looking ok.

                                Of all the things I've seen discussed, I think the ABs should be focused on their defensive system, ball retention and territorial kicking game. They win world cups. Focus on keeping teams at the right end of the pitch and squeezing them into mistakes. NZ have shown that they are still capable of capitalising on transitions. The talent is there.

                                    Well she let Ian Foster have 20 whacks.
                                    Hmm, not sure the ABs need an effin coach. Also looked like those weren't her real legs, no doubt she'd be an excellent choice as AB fitness and conditioning consultant.

                                      Or TH prop, the question being is she good with ball in hand and can she get over the advantage line.

                                        Has the verbal attributes of an effective halfback, but yes at TH prop, apart from the question of whether she's a team player, I suspect she'd be dominant with ball in hand and in the bind, not likely to take a backward step, and above all, no one is likely to lay a hand on her (and probably haven't for some decades).
