Re: All Blacks V Los Pumas. RWC 2023 Semi Final thread.

Not irrational at all. The man is a fraud and has no right to be in this position... quite apart from his poor CV, throwing his assistants under the bus last year to save himself tells you everything about the sort of person he is... Look, another one. And another. Foster had been a shit coach his ...

Re: NZ v Ireland RWC Quarter Final Thread..

The more I reflect on that game, the more apparent it becomes that if Ireland want to point the finger at a player, it has to be Sexton. As their captain and playmaker he was found wanting. Missed an easy shot at goal, threatened not at all with the ball in hand to such an extent that the AB defens...

Re: NZ v Ireland RWC Quarter Final Thread..

Yeah, in the respective finales, Ireland needed a try, France only needed a drop goal. If Ireland could have won with a 3-pointer, I’m 90% sure they would have at least got into a good position for Sexton to have a crack. And if they had landed it, Aaron Smith would be viewed with the same disdain ...

NZ & SA need to make the most of this fantastic opportunity.
