    If Foster doesn't resign now what happens if we lose to Oz and Sa in the Championship. At what point do they make a change.

    Probably why Razor is in Fiji lining life and coaching the Barbarians later in the year.

    Well, imagine how good we'll be next week once Foster has had two whole weeks running the squad...

    We should not even turn up and save the embarrassment.

    If ABs lose the series, is that the "fall on the sword" moment for Foster?

    You would hope that there would be some serious thinking going on. But after the Ardie sub fuck-up tonight, I'm not so sure.

    Maybe Sam, being a decent bloke, will step down as captain and that might spark some change

    I’m going to come back at my point on Cane by pointing out that he led the team for tackles (13,1) and that Paps was the least busy with (5,0), so maybe it is early to put it on Cane.

    The guys up front might be a bit different, even Scooters stats aren’t that good.

    Ofa’s are a fucking nightmare - 5 penalties and a YC, 2 missed tackles and all of 6 metres.

    Out of curiosity are the midfield bombs where we gift possession to the opposite team a tactic or does BB and AS really think it's a good idea?

    That's the frustrating thing - we do turn up.

    And then, more often than not, we pack our bags and bugger off.

    But luckily, the Old Boys Club came to the rescue with a Jobs For the Boys card just in the nick of time for another season

    We had an amazing run. Between 2008 and 2018 we were the best team by miles. But like all good dynasties eventually they crumble as the quality of leadership declines. But we will rise anew from the ashes, we always do

    @Frank Taylor, Retallick, Cane.

    Ha ha, snap.
    Maybe Stuart Barnes was right about Cane 🤔

    I love him, but he just looks slow.

    He’s working his ass off, but he’s not impactful and won’t be a better player next year. It’s not that he’s a poor player, he’s just no longer the best 7 in the country.

    He would be in the squad and he can help to develop Dalton, but he shouldn’t be captain and most likely shouldn’t be starting.

    I rate him as an All Black and don't anyone else would do better as Captain, but I have to question his quality of play. Whether it's the balance of the loose trio or he's longer got it, he just doesn't have the impact he once did

    Good post. I had a look at the stats and I’m reassessing my position. With a loosie down, its probably unfair to put it on Cane as his role is to be the worker of the group. That’s likely why having Paps paired with him doesn’t work, as Paps is basically bigger younger Sam Cane.

    In the past, even our ashes still managed to keep records against Ireland and Argentina intact...

    It's team tactics. Has to be
