Unfortunately, for the last 4 years NZ Rugby has completely believed its own bullshit.
First of all – For some really pathetic reason we thought we could get away without a forward pack – Who in heavens fuck came up with that idea – South Africans told us – But we argued – Not because we actually disagreed with their comments – We just did not want to believe it – Hence the hiding by Ireland in 2022.
For four years they have been operating with the blinkers on – No actual analysis on the behaviours that continued to cost the All Blacks in every game.
Fosters legacy is very simple:
The behavior of losing lineouts / giving away penalties resulting in losing 3 points continuously and cards – the colour is irrelevant.
If the referees and TMO’s are guilty of anything it is looking for indiscretions by NZ players – a legacy based on NZ players falling fell of the laws of the game.
I HAVE NEVER YET SEEN A RUGBY RESULT CHANGED BECAUSE THE LOSING TEAM FEELS HARD DONE BY OR BECAUSE A REFEREE OR TMO HAS MADE A MISTAKE.
Foster has failed over a 4 year period to correct the poor behaviors of our players.
It is no bloody good trying to find excuses for why we lost against the Boks in the world Cup Final.
We delivered exactly what we have been setting out to do for the last 4 years.
It is no bloody good moaning that rugby is not played the way we want it to be played – How the bloody hell can you play rugby without a forward pack but still expect the backs to get quality ball.
NZ are living in fantasy land if they think that the game needs to be played their way.
It may look nice but it does not win world cups.
Mistake after mistake has been the legacy for the passed 4 years – NZ got exactly what they planned and practiced for in the world cup final.
Referees and TMO’s have been closely watching us for very good reason – Hence the number of cards we have received over a 4 year period – We have run into our own shit pile.
It is no bloody good analysing why Cane got a red card and Kolisi got a yellow card- One was clearly deemed worth sending off for the rest of the game and one wasn’t – MOVE ON.
Cane delivered exactly what he has been delivering for a long period of time – time on the sideline due to fell play – Our players are very good at getting caught out.
I am staggered that we have delivered exactly the same as previously.
NZ Playing with 14 and sometimes 13 – These people that specialise in motivation etc etc will tell your that you will get what you expect and plan for in life.
The Boks
Rassie.
NZ – Odds of 1.01 of getting a player getting a card.
As far as the Boks are concerned – Very well played.
They know their strengths and fully deserved winning the world cup.
Rassie is a great coach and has totally delivered for South African Rugby.
It would not surprise me in the least if he had written in his notebook.
ALL BLACK WEAKNESSES – Lineouts / giving away penalties within goal post range / giving away 3 points / down to at least 14 players- The All Blacks have been so damn consistent at the above and therefore providing the opposition of a far better chance of beating them.
Fortunately the AB’s sorted the weak forward situation – quite frankly I cannot work out why we allowed this to happen in the first place other than NZ being blinded by a false game plan with their heads up their own arses.
I am hoping that Razor has noted all this bullshit.
Rassie would have so I am sure that Razor would have seen it coming from miles away – it is just a pity that the team and management were so blinded by their own bullshit.
I think we can count ourselves very fortunate that we lost a world cup final by 1 point.
In summary – NZ Rugby has completely wasted 4 years .
