    That article is loser talk 101.

    "training really hard" is something i heard from teams like the Wallabies year after year. And it reminds me of the "best prepared Warriors team ever".

    the great lies:
    'best offseason ever'

    'fittest we've ever been' '

    'I'll still love you in the morning'

    "Mate, I promise I won't piss in your wetsuit "

    Now that is a lie

    It's all crap and I'm disappointed to hear Sam say those sorts of things.

    Sounds like Air NZ pilot was a lot more rewarding than you were saying on the other thread.

    @taniwharugby of course I have read the article but I have found some of the comments on here fairly distasteful after the weekend.

    Awful analysis, incorrect conclusions, zero insight
    Wrong about pretty much everything

    A great slogan, but even then it can be done with a bit of class. And I’m not talking about Shane Warne class, more Stephen Fleming class 😉

    Listening to Devlin on ZB while in the garden.
    Mentioned at the end of show today he's got Fostter on tomorrow.

    Not sure what time but expect first up at 12.00.

    Not sure if doing talk back but he has been on previously. Suspect not in this case.

    Regardless, should be worth a listen.

    I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere. The main points:

    • Martin Devlin did not ask any questions about Foster's future as All Blacks coach.
    • Foster says we need to attack more through our set piece.
    • Did not really answer why players could not change tactics last week. He felt we did learn in the second half.
    • We weren't able to change how we dealt with the pressure. 3 dumb penalties killed us.
    • Team has worked hard on improving physicality. Good results with speed of the ball. Feels the desire to get more combative as transferred into niggle.
    • Thinks that players are getting away with too much provocation.
    • Is pragmatic that we may need to kick more penalty goals to win games. Felt Australia turned down too many shots at goal last night.
    • Wants to give opportunities to players. Doesn't really give anything away as to what team he will pick for Saturday.
    • Media and fans can pull team back into something they have mentally moved on from as a playing group.
    • Supports Cane 100% and does not believe he needs to talk to him about his public comments. His captain can say what he wants but didn't really agree with the comments. States Cane didn't really believe what he said either.

    Thanks @hydro11 . Will merge this with the How's Fozzie Going thread.

    Just wanted to publicize he was facing the music.

    Kind of like what he was saying.

    His challenge I think is getting his vision through to the players.

    I guess I'm very cynical about this so-called vision.

    His vision is to break more abs records. As we've pretty much got all the positive ones sewn up, he's going for the shit ones like being in the coaching team that lost to Ireland, now Argentina, lowest every world ranking, lowest winning percentage of any coach for a century, etc.

    We had Wales and Scotland cancelled this year - I’m offering thanks to Covid!

    Foster's interview didn't really tell us much. There are good reasons for a coach to do that. However, it does make it hard as a fan to assess what is truly going on. Ultimately, it becomes a situation where you judge someone on their results. It is all very well to say things are going well in training or that you are working on physicality. If it doesn't happen on the field, you won't get credit for it.

    It'd be pretty hilarious to hear a coach talking about how awful the team are training.
