Are we on the Foster bandwagon now?

Maybe the Foster band-aid plasters wagon.

Rather than this short defensive bomb bullshit, I'd rather have a long kicking fullback (Stevenson) with good chasers.

[Tim]

Beauden Barrett also playing very well (I missed minutes 40 to 55 though).

His shit exits and penchant for the miracle play cost us.
(although it worked a couple of times too)

Unorthodox opinion.

[KiwiMurph]

Beauden was fine but its certainly worth looking at other options.

Nope. But I feel more bullish than before the start of the RC

It looked like team tactics. RM did it too

If he drops beaudy and Clarke, nepo and havili doesn't come back. Maybe

[KiwiMurph]

@Machpants Nepo was great off of the bench tonight.

[Machpants]

@KiwiMurph he was ok. But one game without stupid penalties is not enough to cancel out the high chance of him losing us an important games in RWC

[nostrildamus]

If we don't have Cane we need more defensive starch in the loosies. And I don't understand why Samisobi isn't the starter, his pick and go wears them down more than any other tight forward.

[KiwiMurph]

Huge effort by Etzebeth just to play. Poor fulla.

Yeah. I'm sure he did it to honour his dad.

Yeah much respect

Great to see Will Jordan back in Black and playing so well. Fingers crossed he’ll be good to go in France.

[BerniesCorner]

Special praise to Frizzell, Lomax, De Groot, Mo'unga, Jordie, Jordan and Raynal.
Christie showed a ton of guts. Pass was reasonable a lot of the time. The criticism on here is way over the top.
Scrums the majority of time were a thing of beauty.
Great to see Mo'unga bring his true ability to a test match
Willie Le Roux's defensive kicks sensational
Shelve the dinky AB defensive kicks, total disaster.

Intrigued to see both Jordan and Stevenson in 14/15 shirt at same time with Markie Mark in the 11 shirt.

[Machpants]

Nope. Beaudy stupid chip from 22 that lead to the last try cost us second place. Needs over 15 to take second from France
