All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test
-
Not on here that often anymore. Life is just busy but have to say that I am just amazed that Ian Foster is the All Black coach. This team has looked mundane for the last few years. I am not from Canterbury but I am amazed that they chose him over Razor Robertson. Not sure how he has been recently as I have not watching the domestic game but he was a hell of a coach. Ian foster has never been any good IMHO. We are in for a few more years of shit and look nowhere like world cup winners. Anyway it's just a thought.

It's the same old, same old, flaky-under-pressure crap we've had in the last 5 years. Some moments of genius, some players stepping up, but mostly headless chicken stuff.
Saying a complete clear-out is needed can be a bit of a cop-out and simplistic, but it's needed.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but this may be our worst home score in the professional era.

This -
Low percentage bs options from the ABs too often
Grumpy AF regarding some of the officiating... Very in consistent at best from TMO and ARs
That said we've shelled the ball repeatedly and kicking and tactics have been poor.
Ireland have been cynical and whinging from the get go...and that's all I'll say about them.

The coaching continuity thing has run its course. It was good while it lasted. NZ needs some new coaching leadership.

We have made far too many mistakes, given away too many penalties and our lack of territory has all culminated in a poor performance.
Ireland have respected the ball more than us, played better territory and disrupted our width game.

They just did the basics. That's all they did. Our skills are so goddam awful.
