Wasn't that Diamond? I remember him boasting that "we know how to look after him properly " then he was injured!

Farrell signs a 2 year extension. Clever by Ireland, not long enough that they cannot assess the situation well before the next world cup but long enough to take him off the radar for England after the this World Cup.

Or Scott “Razor” Robertson from the Crusaders. Has said he wants to win a world cup, with or without the All Blacks.

He said he wanted to win one with and without being head coach of the ABs.

Well either Scott or Joe would be my guess for NZ RWC 2027 anyway,maybe even Joe in 2023!

Yeah when they gave Foster the job as the continuity candidate I don't think they expected him to try and not change anything from 2019.

He's tried his best to make them worse,and succeeded!

Worse or have they stood still with a team that didn't make it past the semi finals whilst every other team has tried to innovate and move forward?

It's a good point Sam and I don't think the props are too clever,it isn't a vintage Whitelock/Retallick and although Ioane is superb I don't believe they've got 12 right yet. What happened to Laumape? He still in France?

Yeah he's in France. I don't think that's the biggest issue though. The attack is limp and uninspired. No one in the NH plays like that now because it's outdated. Ireland were able to put some big shots in and stop the AB momentum time and time again because it was all telegraphed. They've got some sensational players and they are reliant on them coming up with moments of magic (which they do, often).

The defence is also lacking a bit of structure but playing against the high tempo Ireland it looked worse than it will against most sides.
