Ireland were just better

Well done Ireland, what a performance, not just last night, but over the past few weeks. Their tour started so poorly, with those two losses, but they regrouped and just smashed us.

All Blacks v Ireland III

Firstly, big congrats to Ireland. Worthy winners and completely outplayed us in all facets. From an All Blacks perspective, two players really stood out for me and they were Ardie and Jordan.

Foster was always a punchline

As we have some more overseas posters and readers at the moment, it's important for them to know just how lowly Foster is rated in NZ. During his time in charge of the Chiefs there was a running joke about him getting the AB head coach role

What happened to Cody Taylor?

18 months ago, Taylor started the Super season like a man possessed. Scoring tries, dominating collisions, big runs with ball in hand. In short, playing like an All Black.

Do NZ need Schmidt's structure?

As an Irish fan I didn’t see Schmidt’s highly prescriptive and structured gameplan being a good fit for the ABs, but after watching the last couple of games, and also the Autumn tests, I’m beginning to think that it might be exactly what they need.

The Current State of Rugby

Rugby is no longer about 30 players, it is about 30 players, and 4 officials whose remit has become sanctioning every single act on the field to its fullest extent.

Fostered Out

What will it take for the New Zealand rugby board to cancel Foster’s contract and pay him out? Forget the World Cup. There is no way they’re going to win that anyway.
