Razor will sort that out.
Changing culture doesn't come from the top - it has to come from the players themselves.
It does when they are dropped.
Just dropping players won't improve the culture - unless you want one of fear which never works.

You are massively underestimating the influence the coach has on the culture. A new leader in any organisation can have a huge effect on employees with the right leadership. It's just abundantly clear Foster doesn't foster a culture of excellence (sorry had to with the pun)

I don't fuckin care if Razor picks the Cantablacks initially.
I just want to see a coherent and unified gameplan that the players are fully committed to.@Frank said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:

We scored no tries off set piece or any structure all opportunitistic tries. Poor.coaching.

I'd hardly call Akira's try opportunistic. It was a classic loose forward try brilliantly taken.

I turned the TV off. For those still watching - can anyone tell me if Foster has done the decent thing and resigned yet?

@LABCAT said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
Two questions:
-
why didn't the AB's take the three towards the end? This is test match rugby not super rugby!
-
would Aki be AB's 12 now if he had stayed in NZ?
3 not enough but should have gone for scrum or line out
No. Same scenario as Hadley Parkes
@MiketheSnow said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:

Hadleigh Parkes didn't suit NZ rugby style.
Aki was very effective for the Chiefs and should have made the ABs in 2013

What is our record at Westpac?
Bloody Shit. Should never have moved from Athletic Park

Picked Ireland England SA today. Sadly ⅓ so far.
I'm one from 4, England, SA, Scotland next
Yep, once again, not just the loss. It's the lack of anything coherent as a team that makes it so annoying. You can see we have some stellar individuals (among with some dead weight that needs to be dropped, cane, Taylor, etc) so it's totally a coaching issue

Its that and more. The players who make mistakes and don’t make passes when they should - they are not coaching issues. The ability to take your chances at this level is huge.

Lost home series to Ireland - check
What's else could this season hold...
Lose both tests in SA
Lose Bledisloe
Lose to Scotland on EOYT
Lose to Wales on EOYTThat's the trajectory NZ are on right now. There is no fear. Opponents sense blood in the water. They know NZ have the capability of scoring something out of nothing, but so do Fiji!

Lose at Eden Park?

That was ominously similar to the defeat in Paris.
Shithouse first half.
Minutes 40-60 went up the middle direct.
Minutes 60-80 faded.

So lessons weren't learned then

Should never play anywhere other than the Garden

@Derpus said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
@Damo hopefully they hang on to him until the Bledisloe.
I think a two out of two game loss in SA (almost guaranteed) will not see him go. But a two of two lots and the bled gone will be enough. So you're in with a changed to get the bled back and finish off foster

First question at the press conference is surely
"Just a question around timing. Will you resign now or are you going to give it a few days and resign next week".
