Re: Fozzie Out.
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...

Re: Fozzie Out
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 ...

Re: Worst coached teams, where the strength of talent is not utilized
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...

Re: IRE in NZ - ABs 2-9-16 July - Maori 29/6 & 12/7
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.

Re: Fozzie Out
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...

Great game - super tense. Ireland very good for win. Bad lack of composure from key All Blacks in key positions.

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.
