Lol Foster you egg.
Que?
Roigard
Whilst I agree Roigard needs to be there (ans Weber should have ben in front of Christie too) Roigard doesn't get that space vSouth Africa. They have functioning looseforwards.

The ones that let him run from the ruck to score?

What about his 60 metre individual try vs Boks

Fozz says it was only the Boks....

Dmac's exit at the 20th minute. What was he thinking? Punted the ball back into the opposition's territory. What about f#%king around in your 22 until someone stuffs up? Change of team tactics?
-
Roigard’s great advantage is his ability to keep oppositions guessing.,A Sid Going-style player around the fringes, he offers a clear point of difference to Smith’s style. Why Foster has stayed true to Christie is one of life’s great mysteries
-
Frustrating for me is the fact we have players who aren't being selected, who could do a good job for us given the opportunity of a decent run in the squad. The combinations in our first team are just not right. Does anyone think that JB would be the starter if DH had never got hurt?
-
These games are damned if you damned if you don’t kind of affairs.
Good hit out for players that need it. Hopefully will help play some into form etc and you pray for no injuries
@DaGrubster yep, if we score 100 we should have, it was only Namibia, if we score 50 we are shit cos we should have scored 100.
Also tough to try and play to a plan as holes that wouldn't usually exist open so players instincts kick in and take them

@His-Bobness I sometimes wonder if some of these, less than brilliant, coaches get fixated on certain statistics and don't have the ability to check those criteria against the larger picture.

I think Fosters Achilles Heel is his loyalty to certain players. Did you see the impact BB had in 2015.

@Steven-Harris said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
@canefan Even Fozzie cant be that stupid..or can he ..?
Stupid enough to pick Christie vs France and run out of loose forwards before the first game.
That is the most annoying thing about fozzie’s tenure.
The rugby watching public will spell out the problems he can’t see, anticipate or fix.
Thats not what you want from an elite coach. He is more a club 2nd team coach level

That was nine years ago, and the years haven't been kind to his game

@His-Bobness I think it is because Foster sees Christie as the closest to Smith in terms of playing style, so ABs can continue to play the same way after the change. Not sure what glasses he is wearing though

Namibia are such a waste of space when it comes to World Cups. They’re always at them and they ALWAYS get fucken hammered. At least others minnows seem to improve a little bit here and there ?
Wank on all you want about ‘experience’ of being in a World Cup but that experience is hiding after hiding dating back to 1999
-
Am I the only one quite happy with the way things are going? Execution isn't perfect, but that is a proper torrential tropical rainstorm they were playing in for a while. It's slippery as anything & you can't expect every pass to stick. Good points
- Backline finding gaps / space with ease - thats what you want in these games
- AB's are not going up the jumper despite the weather, still got the confidence to try things out - encouraging
- Roigards option taking is excellent, and hopefully will be our number 2 scrummie, if not number 1 by the business time
- Forwards dominated early, but then have clearly dropped from giving 100% as there is simply no need to
You're damned either way as the All Blacks in these games, so I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone.
-
Roigard looks like an aged veteran out there. So calm and mature in his decision making. He’s going to have a long AB career.

Never forget in the Lions tour he told Hansen (while being filmed) playing Rieko Ioane at 11 was and I quote "a dumb idea today".
Rieko scored two tries against the lions a few days later.
