All Blacks...I think they're really cool. They are from New Zealand. "Living and dying we feed the fire" What does that mean?!? I keep hearing those words! Now I want to scream those words in a designer suite, wearing my beanie, climbing over a wall entering the Roar office unannounced !! ?

Kolisi was head on head. Both Kolisi and Cane had potential for litigation, and only one was given. It decided the final. The NZ public were warm and forgiving on Cane probably because they were understanding of the two harsh calls. Cane’s technique was out by a few inches and no real hurt was inflicted.

The All Blacks have the worst outcomes when Barnes is reffing.

They seem a lot better now eh, HiKa? Some players infringe. Some refs get it wrong. Ireland in the quarter booring in and thought Barnies would let it slide but his linesmen wouldn’t have none of it. Ireland thought they could do it – not being square!
Ireland really thought they could get away with it because Barnsies was reffing and they had a good discipline history. Difficult to beat the ABs by not truely facing them.

And good temperature up there, Lizard. I’m sure you are concerned about the NZ cats eating the native lizards. It’s so annoying.
That’s deserving of a red card in my view – you don’t come back, you go to the other side. It’s over.

You’re still off for 20 and lose that particular player for the game. Followed by a ban. It’s difficult to see how a team would do that on purpose.
A full red was too much since the laws have bad been tightened.
A 20 red or 25 red seems about right to me. The AB’s are aggressive and this will suit them. But having a whole game 14 on 15 ain’t cool.
I’d be open to reducing the subs so one doesn’t get a whole new pack. Perhaps just four? It would make it really strategic and tire each team which would open it up. Feigned injuries would be an issue but there are ways to address that. Ha I need the ABs to win the next RWC! I believe they will.
Cane off, SA captain stays. It could have find gone the other way, and a teams deserved the opportunity to come back from a 50/50 call that delivers the result early in a match.
If you’re the best team in the world then the current red is so concerning. Lose the game on one error.

I’m not being mean, but some have a fusion to the illusion or are addicted to the inflicted. Always done unconsciously – the ego dream.
I’m looking forward to the new paradigm where the new wave brings the darkness screaming to the top! Australia will be really good this year, and you miss Eden.
I also bought a Jean Paul Gaultier nightmare woman top. It has a picture of a skeleton woman with a spider near her head, symbolising the AB’s messing with the Wallabies brain? Or maybe just a scared past or path, and there is also a bird so that’s nice. Vintage 2002 the last time you had the Bledisloe. I’m hoping the ex Wallaby Bledisloe winners, who will present the Wallabies their jerseys this year, wear my JPG 2002 SW nightmare woman’s top. How cool would that be !! You have to wear the nightmare. They are a collectors item by the way ….

The 20 red had to be. It seemed like the only way the All Blacks could be beaten. A lot of it is accidental or poor technique. It was a tool against the All Blacks. Where’s the heart, wanting to play against 14?
So happy the Aussies have a kiwi coach ! You’ll rock up from 9th to 3 or 4 in the world within a year I feel. It’s not all about me huh? But it seemed the AB’s were getting dragged down to your level. I needed change and so it is …You’ve been returned to the cauldron, stirred up, fattened up, spiced up, and told you are special. Then you will be let free onto the Eden where demons from the paradigm, lucid past morph into dreams and behind the mist and your created illusion, a darkness waits.

The best coach you could have got.
I’m feeling you’ll go back to the Deans era where you pushed the AB’s but not quite.
But if you’re in the position to nearly win then you really have a shot huh.
If Schmidt can get the Oz Super teams right then you’ll come in fresh and ready…but another average performance then confidence will be lacking.
But you really have the right dude. I’m happy, a better Wallabies will help the AB’s. Sorry that sounds all about me! …But you need to be lifted up and he’s probably your man.
Also he’s clearly really a genuine dude and that’s an essence that you need. Be free of the ego and things can happen at that level. Can’t wait !
'Something we needed': Coles says ABs would not have made RWC final without Schmidt - and why Wallabies stand to benefit
Yep a good balanced response, JD.
The ABs without Brodie, Jordie, Frizzel, and Lomax was too much. Their power game became dismantled and their foundation was eroded.
Magic teams from the past could perhaps adapt finely, but not this one. They were all big, powerful players and absolutely needed. An 18 point difference I’d say.

That’s right Moaman I was able to show the Australian way when a Bok supporter recently thought I was Australian and I snapped back “you drongoo! You bloody drongoo!” But can a Kiwi coach hit the road running like that? Unlikely 😊 👍
'That's one of the options': Foster admits Test coaching return possible as he reacts to Wallabies link
So true. Cane under Razor wouldn’t be there. Savea would be 7. Cane was the main reason we lost the final. I remember Cane being sent to the bin in the Super final and saying it here that it wasn’t looking good for the All Blacks.
Foster is real stubborn. The All Blacks just weren’t accurate enough across the board.
Also Foster telling the team not to kick for goal but then losing the LO I think, to me shows a lack of confidence under pressure from them all. Cane’s actions lost the Super and RWC. There’s no way Razor would have had him as captain.
'That's one of the options': Foster admits Test coaching return possible as he reacts to Wallabies link
So true and the same with J Barrett at second five. Taukeiaho was number one but he fades under Foster. Taylor with the miss throws. What a time to do it! Stevenson had to be ahead of Clarke who hardly played. Foster lacks that decisive eye and it came back to him. Everyone saw it in the Super final last year when the Blues All Black front row got damaged.
'That's one of the options': Foster admits Test coaching return possible as he reacts to Wallabies link
The McKenzie issue was awful as you state. Five minutes, what? It was a trust thing probably. McKenzie is untested against big test teams and he’s pretty small against the Boks.
Fainga’anuku just looked big and dynamic and easily could have played a hybrid flanker for Cane. What if Rogaid got another 60 metre try? He would have at least tried and it would have opened the ruck space whilst giving Mo’unga more opportunities. Foster had to strike with the bench. The forwards were fine to combat the bomb squad but it was the backs that could have calved them up. Also Blackadder needed more time so he could be evaluated. Fosters conservatism came to haunt. ALB on the bench was too defensive. Somehow the mindset was off – it was different to Ireland. They had to be immaculate because the refs were dodgy. They were against Ireland except Taylor. Canes tackle and the missed kicks let it slide.

*”I’m talking”…I meant. Just as I’m try to be serious. Anywayz.

Under Razor, I doubt BB would have been there. LF would be at least on the bench with Roigard.
The back bench cost us the game to a degree. It was innocuous and bland. What was Foster thinking? Rogaird could have been almost player of the tournament if given an opportunity. Of late the AB’s last 20 has been awful
Fainga’anuku is a star. He should not have been dropped. Foster had to add him in. Foster is too slow and conservitive. It cost him the cup. And why weren’t the ABs mentally there? It started with the BB kick off. Timing out, bad LO throwing. Foster didn’t have them in the right zone.

What are your thoughts on an alian? I’m taking about a live one of course, not the dead alien mexican corpse. Eddie Jones talked about it.
'That's one of the options': Foster admits Test coaching return possible as he reacts to Wallabies link
Haha Foster as Wallabie coach!! Love it! Unless he can get Schmidt you’ll be toast!
Please take him. He is is a nice dude.
'That's one of the options': Foster admits Test coaching return possible as he reacts to Wallabies link
I’d set a compromise. Make him stay for a year with 2-3 weeks off mid year. But the key is also to keep him happy otherwise his form will drop. Crap news. He was playing so well, making easy yards. Bummer.

Oh that’s fine and enters the sublime! The mastery of love that’s the souls path and destination. But the chaotic and unfaines does become the fuel for the ego. I’ll see the Oracle and I’m sure he’ll say it was rigged. I’ll be open. AB’s were off by a bit. They lacked that Zen focus. The AB’s had to be in the sync rhythm. The fine- imite!! Everything was against them but the heart would have found the vision and won. The AB’s were a 12 point better team on the day just like the Ireland quarter…the refs were against them there too. My respect for the Boks has gone down a little. It will fuel the AB’s. I hope karma fruitions, Im sure it will.
SPIRO ZAVOS: 'Crazy brave' Boks are a team for the ages - but key decisions cleared their path to glory
One instance but there were multiple. Both should be yellow or red. It was scandalous. I’m not going to fight your ego but walk away. I just be and flow, you fight and need to be right at every moment – against the truth – fate of the ego. All Blacks 63 Boks 39. That record will remain forever because the scandal poisen and twist has to be sporadic – once every four years. Hauntly, shallow, swindler win. Just like ‘95 cuz.
SPIRO ZAVOS: 'Crazy brave' Boks are a team for the ages - but key decisions cleared their path to glory
You will always be bitter by the All Blacks, Peter. Reality is the Boks beat the All Blacks by playing against 14 men. It was rigged. The TMO had untrusting, mean, awful face. He had this dreaded subtly smirk when he fkd the ABS.
The TMO let the knock on and LO infringement slide (AB’s advantage then) until the abs scored. How more biased can you get? It was four phases. It has to be two. Plainly wrong
SPIRO ZAVOS: 'Crazy brave' Boks are a team for the ages - but key decisions cleared their path to glory
He’s just being diplomatic to reduce the dynamic! Of course they were robbed. 14 on 15, sorry cuz there will always be a * on this win. It was curupt. That’s so poor. All I wanted was fairness. It didn’t happen. The abs were the better team.
SPIRO ZAVOS: 'Crazy brave' Boks are a team for the ages - but key decisions cleared their path to glory
Yes a true Aussie. The Boks were drongoos! Bloody drongoos!! I think it’s 62-39 all up. I love the All Blacks.
SPIRO ZAVOS: 'Crazy brave' Boks are a team for the ages - but key decisions cleared their path to glory
I don’t think it’ll even happen, Kev. Your best way forward is with the RWC’s where poisonous techniques and ref bribing can go slightly unnoticed since it’s a one in four year event. 😊

Yes and even Schmidt had to take a dig! “He’s a threat!”
