Recent selection philosophy & the consequences
I wanted to discuss this trap the All Black selectors have seemingly fallen victim to over the past 3-4 years. It's this philosophy that seems to be a continuation of Hansen & Foster's 2018-2019 season's mantra of attempting to cram as many of their best or flashiest players into a starting line-up

Ah, the glorious fighting loss, that sets us up for a hiding next week. You guys are pulling your dick hairs out with frustration about Foster but ultimately you'll smack six shades of shit out of us next week. Yeah sure, Foster might be an idiot, but the cohesion issues won't be as prominent.

LinkHorrible test, horrible series
Horrible test, horrible series. Lions should have been out of sight by half time, two butchered tries meant what should have been a 14 / 16 / 18 point halftime lead

LinkLions vs Springbok II
Firstly, it was a match of two halves. Neither half will please the Lions fans. Half one was every single thing that is wrong with modern rugby. It took 65 minutes, there was pretty much so no action, it was an absolute drudge fest.

Innovate or perish
It’s really hard to gauge where we are at against the opposition we have faced over the last 2 weeks. But I guess most countries are in a very similar position in that regard. The forwards have been the biggest issue for 3-4 years now and we seem to be in gradual decline there still
