What an absolute clusterf$ck this guy has made of this whole process. Will be compared forever to any and all disasters in the future as a marker for the absolute lowest performance and maximum lies in a job done poorly. Unbelieveable.

CONFIRMED: Eddie blames RA for early exit as Woodward calls for Rennie apology, ex-ABs coach linked to role

Its like you have never bothered to look at fosters resume before making these comments. Surely you have looked at his super history, his success, his international experience before taking on the ABs? He had no success at super level or experience at int level. His was an old boys appointment. Then his picked assistants failed a review yet he kept them. Finally forced to eject them, he took razors assistant and had Joe parachuted in. Almost all the successful debuts and position switches were made due to injury. The guy has been under pressure but for a lot of reasons. All credit to him for getting the team to this point, and I’ll be happy for him if he wins. But many will still be happy to see someone else take over and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Waiting for the All Blacks to crumble: Final yardstick of NZ fans' treatment of Ian Foster

He took his main competitors forward coach. That’s why people think it was rubbish. Pretty simple.

Heaven forbid sportspeople should have personal motivations. Bizarre take

Legacy vs ego: The Springboks are playing for South Africa, the All Blacks are playing for themselves

How offensive to suggest that a team playing for their own motivations, ie every single team, is ego driven and by suggestion selfish compared to the white knights of SA playing selflessly for the poor kids in the street. I’m sure the SA players will be donating their match fees to charity, as Im sure they have been for the last 4 years as this has been the claim forever. It’s condescending and rubbish. Every player plays for personal reasons including the SA players and who cares why.

Crap article. Roar has nosedived again

Good question, I’ve wondered if he stayed in nz systems would be have had so many injuries, would the nz s&c have let him stay so heavy his whole career

Nuclear blow to Wallabies' hopes of dominating key area - as Fiji selection puts full glare on Donno

Hodge isn’t there to put his shoulder into the fijians best players head denying a try and putting him off the field, and then getting away with no red sanction

'Asking for trouble': The 'different mindset' that has Fiji primed to push Wallabies

How Clarke is still in there is boggling. I man I know F is injured so makes sense they still go with a big ball runner but Clarke has no form whatsoever. Trying to run a guy into form in the ABs has never been something that has worked. Ditto BB

McKenzie recalled, Stevenson snubbed, debutant winger named as All Blacks reveal team to face Cheika's Pumas

Good lord Harry how long did this take to write?

The Wallaby 15 should be more Burke than Folau: Eddie can win or lose the World Cup on his 'lone wolf' call

Chant snobbery. Who knew

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie? No, no, no!: Chant shocker is like a 'f--k off to Matildas' active support'

A pack always struggling? Are you kidding? The pack had 5-6 ABs fit most of the season

Fozzie's Dan Carter moment: All Blacks face crunch call on Barrett ahead of RWC as ghosts of '19 remain

How many of moungas chances at 10 have had bb at fullback taking half the first receiver plays. He isn’t let play his game like he is at the saders. Jordan at fb and let them run their combo

Fozzie's Dan Carter moment: All Blacks face crunch call on Barrett ahead of RWC as ghosts of '19 remain

The notry was the only running chance he made. Most of his runs he got scragged. ?

Fozzie's Dan Carter moment: All Blacks face crunch call on Barrett ahead of RWC as ghosts of '19 remain

Because the 10 still has to drive the pack around the park and mounga does that best by far, to say nothing of the fact he’s ahead of the others in all other aspects bar defense cover maybe. And barrets kicking in play has been rubbish all year

Fozzie's Dan Carter moment: All Blacks face crunch call on Barrett ahead of RWC as ghosts of '19 remain

Bb didn’t pay fullback in 2019, that’s the problem. He spent half his time pushing richie out of the way in the 10 spot.

If he actually just played fullback it would be an option but jordan is in far far better form anyway

Fozzie's Dan Carter moment: All Blacks face crunch call on Barrett ahead of RWC as ghosts of '19 remain

He obviously wouldnt have ruptured it, just prolonged recovery. The guys not a moron, the call was up to him and he made it

'Just look at him now': Fozzie's prickly response after Razor's 'god-like figure' went against All Blacks

Especially if the ab coach is a bit rubbish and maybe the players don’t have as much respect for him as they have for others. Maybe a coach with selecting favorites who isn’t straight with the players doesn’t get that much respect and this is how we see it

'Just look at him now': Fozzie's prickly response after Razor's 'god-like figure' went against All Blacks

Hey mate who was the first player yellow carded for the season? Just curious. What were the disciplinary records compared next to each other before the game? Have a look

REACTION: Razor hails 'immortal, God-like' Whitelock, losing coach backs home crowd's boos for refs

He shouldn’t be sanctioned, but we can recognize its a bit poor form. Heres a guy who claims not to watch back games his team loses, blaming refs for a loss. I mean at least do the minimum

REACTION: Razor hails 'immortal, God-like' Whitelock, losing coach backs home crowd's boos for refs

We are seeing how true that is right now, no question

REACTION: Razor hails 'immortal, God-like' Whitelock, losing coach backs home crowd's boos for refs

He basically claimed the match hinged on the fwd pass. The chiefs even got the ball back after that before saders scored. He questioned the 3 clear cards which for a neutral are 100% correct calls, plus no mention of ALB red no-call.

Just take it like an adult

REACTION: Razor hails 'immortal, God-like' Whitelock, losing coach backs home crowd's boos for refs

I don’t want to bag the ref….. instantly bags the ref in the NEXT SENTENCE

Lol

REACTION: Razor hails 'immortal, God-like' Whitelock, losing coach backs home crowd's boos for refs

Oh please. What’s frustration got to do with it? He was warned multiple times and on his goal line where he knew any infraction would be a card. Its a simple calc, not worth anything with any risk. But he took the risk, misjudged, and so was binned. Hes a pro. This is his living. Frustration should have nothing to do with it. The AB cap you would think would have the discipline to be smart under pressure

REACTION: Razor hails 'immortal, God-like' Whitelock, losing coach backs home crowd's boos for refs

There must be something the player group see in him, but just compare his demeanor talking to refs with barret, whitelock, savea. He’s obviously asking questions but he plays it up hard done by all the time, unlike the others who ask questions too but then nod and agree and let the ref know they accept his ruling. He just doesn’t have the same surety and comms as those other guys. He must make up for it in the talks we don’t see but if he’s going to talk to the refs at the wc he should model the others

REACTION: Razor hails 'immortal, God-like' Whitelock, losing coach backs home crowd's boos for refs

The guy just can’t keep his foot out of his mouth. Why make a call that isn’t his call to make? Ditto talking about players not texting him back… why tar a big group with a bitter tag? He’s clueless
