      I seriously don't get why they replace PGS with Frizell. Grace makes way more sense.

      I guess his name is already on the squad list of the ABs XV then.

            Ian Foster says "there is no doubt that I am under pressure, but I'm always under pressure and always felt that pressure ... as an All Blacks coach you live in that world all the time. Does it hurt? Yes it does. But the key thing is that I do everything I can to make sure we have the right people in the right seats."

              On the silence from the past week and the cancelled press conference, Ian Foster says "I understand the frustration. I as a head coach would never ever not communicate with my fan base when it's expected. I know my responsibility to talk to the fan base and if I knew that I would do that all the time

                Ian Foster says the All Blacks have a "clear plan" for how they are going to move forward.

                "We understand the fans aren't happy ... but you have a promise that we are looking forward to getting stuck into our work."

                  Have to look at the spineless leadership from the CEO and board.

                      He says he has a lot of faith in Sam Cane as a player and a person after retaining him as captain.

                      Ian Foster says "will there be some change? Yes there will." But he doesn't say what change is actually coming.

                        Well at least PGS could start his own blog on insider AB coaching tips for loosies: PGS' tips.

                          There's not much we can do about the squad now, but there needs to be changes to the starting XV to play SA to prove Foster and co are addressing the problems that are very obvious.

                            Ian Foster says Joe Schmidt helped picked the team in his new role as independent selector after replacing Grant Fox. However, Schmidt will not be travelling with the squad to South Africa.

                                    As close to a Bob Dylan tribute as we are likely to get. Colour me rather underwhelmed.

                                      I just feel sorry for the players now. They're still stuck playing 2017 Hansenball.

                                        So minimal player changes, including dumb selections like the woman beater, no leadership changes, no coaching changes, and only using Schmidt as a selector. Everything is fine. Fucking delusional.

                                          Asked how close he was to stepping down, Ian Foster twice says "not at all."
