Much like dumb players still prepared to walk the very thin line between dominant tackle and a card of either colour when will players realise that it’s better for the team and game management to ‘let’ the opposition score what is almost a certain try rather than trying to prevent it and getting carded?
With 10 mins to go, having a full complement on the pitch far outweighs 5 possibly 7 points
That’s coaching
And it’s bad, outdated coaching

@canefan kicking deep seems to have gone out of favour

The Crusaders turned it into an art form. All those titles show it works. We were up against a team who are limited offensively and would struggle to travel the length of the field to score and preferred to take lower percentage options that gave the ball back in attacking positions

@MiketheSnow It's an interesting point, Mike - but, I kind of wonder at what point the moneyball analysts agree with you.
The "most penalized" teams often seem to be among the most successful.
Giving up totally stupid cards seems counter-intuitive, but I wonder what proportion are actually given. Lots aren't when a team scores anyway.
No idea about the stats, but I wonder.

Don't want to harp on but there must be some old Fox footage strangling the life out of the opposition with laser guided wipers to the corners

And if they don't get it, a try is probably only 4 points anyway so who cares. Plus you can just ruck the opposition players on the ground and surely Brodie can jump higher than the England forwards in the lineout without lifting as that's illegal.

@Kirwan said in All Blacks v England:
So it’s pretty much confirmed that we don’t have a ten in either BB or RM that can drive us around the park, and make 65mins of forward dominance pay.
Do we start looking at DMac and Perofeta from the bench as ten subs to see if they can do it?
We stick with RM at ten then we have very little chance at winning a World Cup. And as a bonus, be a team that lose from anywhere.
Yeah, Mo'unga has probably been the biggest disappointment, not because he's been absolutely dreadful, but because the cupboard is bare so we really needed him to step up, but he's just as flaky now as he was when he first came into the ABs. I think we should have a good look at DMac next year, he's really matured as a player and as all of the skills to do very well in the position.
It was criminal to give Perofeta so little gametime in black this year.

Beauden is definitely not the answer at 10 either. (I notice you've given up flogging that horse)
Both have been given untold chances to improve their game management and both have failed in this aspect.Totally agree DMac should be seriously looked at.
It'll be harder for Perofeta because BB will probably play at 10 for the Blues next year. -

Hate to compare, but Kwade actually became a decent test 10 when he stopped acting the fancy tool and focussed on his core tasks.
Obviously I've been a massive BB fanboi but you can't sugar-coat shjt anymore. Not sure wtf happened to him. Those effing kicks 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. He's not a patch on what he was in 2016. I am deeply saddened by this. However, if he gets his shit together he should be 15 or at least the bench.

Pattern and tactics are one thing but I'm pretty sure Foster isn't instructing them to play like headless chickens and to kick like shjt.

Was hoping that Jordie hoisting huge long up and unders might be in our playbook with him at 12. But seems not. Clearly they have all trained on shallow cross kicks.
I wonder what training and plans there have been for longer kicks to pin the opposition back and pressure them. -

I could absolutely celebrate a draw, if the final act was us tying the score.
I could absolutely not celebrate tying the scores in a 10 minute blitz, then being given possession to have a red-hot go at a win, and lying down like an absolute bitch.

@Canes4life said in All Blacks v England:
At least the things we’ve learnt from the Northern Tour leading into next year is that Papali’i is better than Cane, Jordie is our 12, Will Jordan needs to start at fullback next year, and our starting front row needs to continue developing together through to the WC.
The question is whether Foster has enough balls to drop Cane and Barrett from the top 15, I guess time will tell.
Foster has not dropped a single long-time starter in his entire AB head coaching career that I can recall. That does not inspire confidence that he will start now.
I'm impressed that some here think the NH tour showed good improvements. We were within a score of losing to Japan (I know they are getting better, but we usually field a full "B" outfit against them and win by plenty). We had a decent win against a fairly hapless Welsh side, but couldn't put away Scotland. Then that collapse against England. I don't see much upwards trajectory.
Our selections are better, thanks to some lucky injuries -- let's face it, if Havili hadn't been injured he's still be starting -- and the forwards have played well in parts. But mentally we remain frail.

Totally agree with this. We can analyze this all day but we have not made any real improvements this year and it all starts from the top. Foster should never have got the job in the first place. NZRU is an old boys club and we need a total clear out. Until this happen I C only pain. Some of the 23 are just not up to International level. They either never were or they are now past there sell by date.
As for the defence in the last 20, the defensive coach Scott McLeod should be fired immediately. Let him find his own way home. There is just no accountability for making a legendary team into a bit of a joke. That last 20 minutes will give me fucking nightmares for years. That was fucking shameful. No other way to describe it. You are never going to stop hearing about that from the poms.
Some major changes need to be made B4 next year or we are out in the quarters if we make it that far. The smirk on Eddie Jones's face made me fucking sick. That was a choke as big as the 1999 world cup against France that still fucking haunts me to this day.
