You can't put this down to Foster at all. The cards were all bad rugby from the players on the field. Nothing Foster can do about that.

Tactics and substitutions rest on Fozzie's shoulders.

[gt12]

We have to study the way Ireland create space. Its apparently legal.

But we were in a shit position before then anyway.

[KiwiMurph]

I reckon we can still nab a losing bonus point

He selected them., He coaches them. This is his game plan.

You can put lots of tonight at the feet of Foster, based on twenty years of watching and supporting Foster coached teams. The cards might be novel, but there's still plenty of groundhog day about the way a Foster selected and coached side drifts in and out of a game.

It's pretty smart (puke). Players directly in front of the ball carrier leads to passive tackling and then immediate ruck cleaners.

I’ll take getting close. I think this will be a record loss to Ireland.

[taniwharugby]

So we lose tonight, what are the odds we go back to back off a.performance like this...

[Jailbreak7]

Ireland are putting bodies in front of the ball at the contact point ffs

[Damo]

Why haven't we subbed our hooker yet. Madness.
