Actually I thought you were going to name Leicester instead!
Speaking of which, if Robertson was AB Coach, (a whatif indeed) I wonder who he'd pick as midfield.. -

Worried about his game. France are good and their half back, Dupont, is fantastic.

Who is Tupou ?

@stargazer a new one, we have had musical chairs already, so was expecting a change, although was one that would feature ALB...
@cgrant my guess is he meant Tupaea
Gee, midfield is a worry though!
I think they need to go Tupaea/Ioane, but expect they'll go Havili/Ioane.

@victor-meldrew
That's a complete strawman. The point of getting Foster out is that he is not good enough. Simple as that. He was picked with zero credentials as a head coach and purely on nepotism. Probably 80% of fans didn't want him to get the job and we are proven right on a near weekly basis. When we rolled Italy, almost everyone knew we still played shockingly bad so this isn't a kneejerk to losing. I am happier losing when we play well than a comfortable win where we play poorly. Because I know rolling second tier team means nothing if the team isn't clinical, when you are clinical you can apply it to a higher level of opposition. I still think we have the players to be playing much better even if this isn't the 2015 vintage.Foster out is not a magic bullet or panacea, it's just a simple fact that he isn't good enough to be the coach of the number one ranked side.

I think they need to go Tupaea/Ioane, but expect they'll go Havili/Ioane.Give Tupaea a start. Pretty much nothing left to lose at this stage at 12/13. Reiko hasn't developed much and Havili has gone backwards.

I'm not throwing Havili under the bus quite yet. He showed a lot early on, and looked the absolute goods. The problem is that when you wind up with a light 8/9/10/12 like Ardie, AS, RM, DH it can get exposed by more physical teams.
His form has really deteriorated though, which is a real pity. ALB is a monster loss for us, and we run the risk of going to RWC23 without a settled midfield. Again.

Is this when Jordie Barrett gets a go at 13?

@nzzp I think it is more when they are being pressured and not going forward, then we struggle at present.
This is where we need a ball runner in the backs, right now, as you say, we are lightweight, aside from Rieko our entire backline is sub 100kg, and when we are struggling to break the gainline with guile, we dont even have power to break it anymore.

@taniwharugby if we don’t play in the forwards against the French well no for sure the Foster and Co have no idea. Any back playing on the platform we are offering won’t succeed. It will be interesting to see the response.

If we don't meet them up the guts we are going to lose

Jordie Barrett says hi.
