I saw grounding, but can understand those who didn’t.

'Courage and desire': Heroic Brumbies deny Ardie to beat Hurricanes to set up semi-final showdown with Chiefs

Australian commentators are NOT good for the game.
Whe you look the whole clip you realise they are “fake news”

'Worst call in rugby history' or 'brave, correct and necessary'? World reacts to Bledisloe controversy, ref torched

Game was too close which raised stakes for not penalising obvious delaying tactics Foley employed.
Imagine yourself on the field trying to get any last second miracle and Foley decides to ignore ref warnings n keep ball in hand?
Wrong to compare this to a crooked scrum feed, there is no obvious intent to keep ball out of play.
I would like Springboks penalised for this as well coz they delay a lot when their big guys are getting gased.

“It should be clear here that Codie Taylor should not be the designated blanket thrower in this instance lest he miss them both.” 😁
I am with you on Samisoni Taukei’aho and Shannon Frizell. I will also add Pita Gus Sowakula as well, he got limited timelast time and he brings powerful carry and “Kaino” qualities we miss.

'No identity': What are the All Blacks trying to do?

I am with Razor supporting SA to win this weekend and one after.
Why can`t BB lose No. 10 Jersey to Mounga?
Barrent boys will cost Foster`s job,oh and a few others in there playing out of position.

Clarke returns for Boks Test as Foster told one win in South Africa or you're gone, and Razor waits in wings

How did it come to this? That a 2 game tour to SA is seen as a job re-interview do-or-die?
It all points to NZRU for me.

All Blacks selection: Are these the 23 players who will save Ian Foster’s bacon?

Nice comparison btwn Bridge and Jordie.

End of an aura: Critics target Foster and 'an empire that's gone soft' after All Blacks 'lose fear factor'

Good point on a big solid FB. If he works on ball in hand he will do great.

Her`s what I noticed which has nothing to do with AB`s busy schedule.
Full back has no one like Ben Smith or Israel Dagg to run the ball back so forwards can be involved letting No.9 and and 10 lead the attacking strategy.Jodie Barret just kicked the ball away and sometimes towards his try line.
Speaking of Forwards,they are too soft and not in sync.
Midfield has no life and Rieko should be played at wing.

……..And I drove whole day from Christchurch to Dunedin to cheer for these guys in 2011 RWC against England.I am black by the way .Wish had read his tweets below:
1)‘South Africa baby! At last I’m leaving this country full of blacks. Ouch!’
2)‘Nice morning to go out in the car to tread over blacks’

Matera stood down over social media posts

Razor for coach and Whitelock for captain.
Sam Cane is fantastic on the park, but doesn’t mean reward him with captaincy when he can’t direct.

Will Foster be shown the door if the All Blacks lose to the Pumas again?

ABs forwards are not merciless anymore.
Also miss guys who play with ferocity like Jerome Keino or Brad Thorne.
Game is going back that way and loose play alone not enough.

What's wrong with Ian Foster’s regime?

Rhodesia? Really? In 2020? Even when David Pockock was born in 1988 , 8 years after 1980?
Don`t spoil comments to a great man like David with your Xxxxxxxx/Zimbabwe. He was born in Zimbabwe.

David Pocock calls an end to his spectacular professional rugby career

That imoji summed up what i took out. 😁

All Blacks all over: England knock New Zealand out of Rugby World Cup

All Blacks all over: England knock New Zealand out of Rugby World Cup

Robbie Deans tried to bring NZ standards to Wallabies and the RA boys ganged up.
Crusaders in Super Rugby have higher standards than RA.
You just have to listen to Fox commentary to realise how much of rot is in RA.

Cheika's legacy: Consistent inconsistency and puzzling selection to the very end

That ABs team = Up tempo to a level many teams cannot manage at the moment.

Five talking points from New Zealand versus Ireland

Are you sulking now?
That All Blacks team worked like a well oiled machine in how forwards,midfield ,backline and halfs worked in as one. Also when Aaron Smith is sharp like how he was,it`s hard to make a combined list like you did.
The tempo Abs played was another level from the start and England where not at that level.
I thought it`s fair to explain why we disagree,but you tried.

No luck for the Irish: All Blacks into semis with 46-14 win

“Savea needs a mention” 😱

Air NZ takes the mickey out of Ireland's hopes ahead of All Blacks QF

Given that Wallabies have been slow off the blocks in all matches having Beale and White on the bench is a tricky decision.(maybe O`Connor as well)
Yes having a strong bench is crucial,BUT England is not a team to play catch up with.

With a massive selection gamble, Michael Cheika rearranges the deck chairs once again

“Australia has the talent and depth to compete with the best in the world, but not the consistency or the resolve to be crowned the best in the world next month.”
I do hope Wallabies lose to England and do some soul searching (if they fluke and go farther they might thing the ship is tight) mainly due to:

1) Why is Cheika not warned by RA for his after-match comments? Tackling is not improving coz players think Cheika will blame ref for cards. Compare to Steve Hansen`s reaction after Scott Barrett was sent off in Perth.
2) What benchmarks do they set for Cheika and does he feel too safe in the position.
3) For consistence and a good improvement curve there has to be continual injection of new talent. Seeing old players being recycled is not a good sign and RA has a lot to answer for complacency in developing new talent pool.

Five things we learned from the Wallabies' win over Georgia

Harsh analogy,but nailed it.

Eight talking points from Bledisloe 2

Ben Smith out of form or being played out of position?
How about him running the ball back and B.Barret using his speed as playmaker at 10(With Maunga coming in same time Perenara does).

All Blacks axe stars for Bledisloe decider

I am hoping he is just having a “look at everyone”.
Is it a curse of having too much talent?
