AB forwards are not winning collisions since Taukeiaho went off.
The most frustrating thing about the ABs right now, by a mile, is their absolute reluctantnce to play ST. He's (IMO) the world's most influential hooker right now, an absolute super star that scarily for other teams will only get better. But against the Irish it's 2 bench appearances then dropped. Tonight he fucking dominates for 45mins and is subbed? I just can't wrap my head around it.
As I said a few games ago. In the "All or Nothing" documentary Hansen turns to Foster and tells him to give Rieko a run on the left wing in training. Foster can be clearly heard saying its" a dumb call today"
Rieko goes on to score two tries in the first test.

We started strong but have reverted to type again now.
I know I said I understood NZRs decision to keep Foster on for the sake for the players, but if we lose to Argentina at home then he has to be canned immediately.
I think they have signed him to the World Cup on haven't they?
Every contract is up for negotiation. They can get rid of him if they really want to, golden handshake style.

he has to be canned immediately.will voluntarily resign thus saving the NZRUF any payout on his contractAlso could be a chance to recoup a bit of income from doing him for breach of contract and claimin a hundred grand from him for it.

Can't blame the ref for this. We have just been shit.
I don't think we have. This ref is removing all opportunity for momentum and inventing offences.
Argentina haven't played any rugby.

@Tim said in All Blacks v Pumas 1:
The new front row is utterly shit house. No commitment to the ruck.
And why change them out so early???

Cane is an awful captain.
Nice guy.
Shit captain.
Yeah, we seem mentally weak. As soon as something doesn't go our way we start playing panicked rugby and making errors. In this game the ref has flustered us and we haven't reacted well at all. Under McCaw we would have adapted but tonight we've just lost our way completely.
