I think they are definitely improving.

Let’s not forget that they were a point off beating Sa, beat Ire, and just lost to France i...

Can't find any replays of the refs controversial call but from memory weren't the forwards(?) in a huddle near or behind Foley?
Maybe Foley didn't want to kick because his players weren't ready for an counter attack if he missed touch.......

He's been merely adequate by his standards this year. If that transforms to more consistent performances for the ABs by sacrificing form for the Crusaders then I'd be ok with that. He's been fine.
