"where do you see your coaching future?" "Bula". Suspect he has the Fiji job.

As much as I think Reiko is our best 11 currently playing at 13. He's still probably our best 13 of available players, and wants to play midfield. As pointed out earlier, Nonu at a similar stage looked as if he may never reach his international potential, and then clicked by being played consistentl...

The frog crawling over to lie in an offside position and whining at the ref deserved everything he got. But red card every day. He was straddling low and upright. He didn't talk to the ref. Go fudge yourself The fat fvck crawled over to lie on the wrong side of the rock then started whinging at Bar...

One of the most capped players and we don't have a single pic with convincingly dyed hair? He played how many caps again?

2 words : Levi Aumua .
He the guy that should be representing Tonga or something. Shouldn't we leave him to do that?
Not when he's shaping up to be the best 12 in NZ.

Born in New Zealand, raised in Australia. Seems as if he should be able to represent any of the three he wishes.

sinba556

I agree we have the talent to do better. we have let a lot of very good talent go incluing the best 12 since Nonu. I think this is the problem I question here. Many other fans from other nations don't think you do. Best since, isn't as good either. You can criticise Foster all you want but somehow ...

We keep coming up with theis situation. Kiwis admit that the current All Blacks team is the weakest in about 20 years. But they also blame the fact they aren't looking as great as before on the coach and winder why these not as good players aren't playing as well as a generation of legends. But may...

sinba556

Don't know what the big drama is about the game to be honest, playing that long with men down against a class outfit like Ireland is often gonna see you on the end of a bigger score than that. Some sh.t hands didn't help but we were playing catch up from the start, they showed some solid ticker all...

The club system hasn't provided rep or test players for some time now. The school system has and look at the results. So you are advocating NZ's top players going overseas and getting played into the ground by professional clubs who don't give a shit about the All Blacks and will try to encourage t...

Shit, I was gonna say we have found our 6 for ABs

Roigard and love were builing well last year. Why are they not getting picked more?

sinba556

He has a point here guys. I'm not sure if this is another one of his excuses or an attempt to get NZRU to maintain strong connections with SARU for our own sake

sinba556

We have two incredible world-class 10s, and that is what you guys decided to debate on? The biggest issue is the gameplan. We have the players to dominate if we focus on winning set piece, breakdown, defence, attack variation etc. I saw our players catching the ball then looking around like stunned ...

FFS forwards coming off the bench against tired players had better smash them or else.

Its completely different from starting.

He plays with a sense of aggression our pack seems to be lacking

Amazing call

A referee with common sense

Would have thought 'threatening a match official' would be grounds to be fired? I'm amazed he's going to survive this episode

sinba556

Do we just have powderpuff forwards or is this a coaching issue?

sinba556

Why didn't they continue with the gameplan used against wales? Keep it in the forwards, make phases and then get the backline going.

sinba556

Great game - super tense. Ireland very good for win. Bad lack of composure from key All Blacks in key positions. I wouldn't say lack of composure or decision making was the problem for NZ, you got just thouroughly outpassioned, outmuscled and simply outplayed upfront in the collisions against a sup...

All eyes on lock and 12 in next years super rugby comp.

sinba556

A great game of rugby, in which, the best team won! Ireland were like men possessed from the off, and rarely gave the AB's an inch. For the AB's Moody was 'gone' after 25 minutes, Laulala has not kicked on this season, and Taylor, apart from his try, looked jaded and as if he has had too long a sea...

Ref was very good. TMO not so much. That last AB no try 3 of 5 camera angles are ok, the two not are both angles you would expect it to look forward. Camera angles can lie. If there was an overhead one in such situations it would be way more definitive. No problem with ruling as such but just don't...

Where to for New Zealand? I suspect some of our top players are either not in form or unfit. Top of that list is Joe Moody and Retallick who has returned from Japan half the player. Taylor has had a long season, possibly overworked? Our loose trio I thought was fantastic, and I would stick with them...

sinba556

Disappointed in the NZ game plan tonight. Far too much kicking. Very surprised by how much kicking. Despite that, the back 3 were pretty ineffective. Can't really think of a single standout Kiwi performance today, which is rare. Some of the pack put in ok shifts, but I think they were all outplayed...

sinba556

Where is our midfield? Reiko Ioane is a bloody liability out there, his worst performance in an All Black jersey, and there are more than a few to choose from in that regard. Stupid tactics, no playing for territory, no adjusting to a rush defence, no respect for the red zone, poor option taking, a...

So a loose forward of all opensides, and a backline full of fullbacks

sinba556

Mo'unga. No argument. Just hasn't had that many outstanding games for the abs in my opinion. Might be a different story if he played more. People mostly seem to rate him on his crusaders performances. I thought he was pretty exceptional in the two matches against Australia this year. Just a shame h...

Fauci is a lying cvnt
Where's the lie at 55 minutes in?
I have no idea what Mick is on about with that video.

I couldn't work out what the lie was either

sinba556

Fauci is highly respected as a medical professional. He is an author on harrisons (the medical bible). I tried watching the video, but I couldn't identify what the 'lie' was?

NZ have just won 10 games in a row and lost a very close game to the world champs. Let's not get too depressed here. Arguably Foster has done better than most people thought he would. He has done better than expected because we expected very little. The sad thing is we have lost yet another game be...

Coaching issue? Or do Nz just not have the right 5 to match it with the boks at the moment
