@MN5 said in Rennie Sacked, Eddie In!:
Nurse: Sir you think every TSF thread is now a secondhand meme thread
Me: Is MN5 stll posting the same memes as RoninWC, just a day later? -
They were worried the boy would have dark skin? Not worried he might turn out to be a ginger?
Priorities, people! -
I'm more interested in if Marshall is barred from approaching players after the game while drinking.
-
I'm looking forward to viewing a badly coached, ill-prepared and relatively inexperienced team do battle.
As for the other team, I also hope Tonga do well.
-
So our exits, kicking, midfield, rucks, lineout, and general tactics weren't up to scratch. This is completely unexpected. They should give Foster another 4 years to sort this out as he is a big one for learnings, and these are big learnings.

@Winger said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
My view is rugby has become a bit too nice and PC. So well done to Rieko. We need more of this. It might seem a bit low but f++k it. It will help bring the crowds in for the next match between NZ and Ireland.
And I'm not meaning physically dirty play on the field. Keep stamping this out including anything related to the noggin
He could have cried

@Tim said in Foster must go:
Newshub claimed that they've been informed by "sources" that sacking Foster would cost $3M to $4M.
Foster then would seem to be far better at defining contract terms than coaching the ABs.
-
If Samisoni doesn't play a decent amount into the second half I'm going to storm down there and hide Foster's meat pies.
-
Who is this bench hooker? Seems to have potential.
-
ok time to flush the dunny, thank the old timers for their splendid service, and move on.
And congrats again to the Boks for winning a point in a row 3 times. Talk about dedication to the mission. -
The fern (and public) view of Akira is mind-boggling. Sure he had some games where he looked lazy two years ago, maybe a year ago. But to say he wasn't more than decent for the ABs last year (or this final) is bizarre.
I don't really see why he seems to irritate so many posters here beyond the bounds of personal preference.
Granted he might not be the best 6/8 in NZ as there are so many quality candidates, but his performance for the ABs, from what I saw he was one of the most dynamic and intimidating forwards (with special commendation to Sam Cane who added to his great defending with some real go forward and useful running).
I guess some pundits don't like Akira's hairdresser... -

@nzzp said in All Blacks vs Springboks I:
What really gaps my axe is that the first 11 points for the Bokke were gifts through brain farts. Piggybacking penalties downfield, incredibly poor skills, and shit decisions. And yet that's almost enough to win a game of footy.
Take that away, and they have absolutely nothing. A push on the 9, and something else - a scrum penalty?
Next week, more accuracy, different ref, its' on like kong.
They constructed nothing offensively
Their stoppages were offensive.
-
Speaking of midfielders...
-
I really like the consistency and calmness of the front row when Lomax plays. And De Groot. While they keep winning I leave it to the coaches as to hooker. So lucky we have 3 v good v different styles of hooker.

@kid-chocolate said in Coronavirus - Overall:
Guvment and media tells me I’m a fat-shaming bigot hater and to shutup, bend over and take the vaxx.
Your doctor must really like you. Mine just asked for my arm.

I prefer Todd over Savea myself. I still haven't seen what Savea offers apart from fresh legs off the bench, seems highly visible but generally ineffective but maybe I have missed his work in tight..
I think I also prefer Todd for a bench position now. -
National sports journalism at its finest . . . I think I could do this job
Head coach Ian Foster has made six changes to his lineup for Sunday's match, from the one which beat Australia last weekend. But those changes don't notably weaken the All Blacks — Foster has been able to replace wingers Rieko Ioane and Will Jordan with Sevu Reece and George Bridge, without losing any pace or power in the back three.
without losing any pace or power. . .

@mariner4life said in RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks:
That final play sort of summed it up
DMac somehow breaks the field open. Savea (who was exhausted) wasn't clean, and nor was ALB.I may be alone on this but I would have played DMac a lot earlier.

AB player of the match voting:
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/5571/all-blacks-motm-v-aussie-iI can only vote for Samisoni 3 times, not sure who else deserve to be there.
