Not a bad idea as long as it is just NZ and Australia. However the biggest way to grow the game is to have more free to air games, including NZ games like the Chiefs and the Crusaders last weekend.

I agree with Fozzie, it has the potential to dilute the SR talent pool, also it would disincentivise local jrs if the path to an AB jersey is clouded by the prospect that someone overseas could jump in ahead of them. Could lead to jnrs taking up 5 tackle kick instead

Its harder when you have to fight for possession rather than having the ball given to you every five tackles.

Credit to Buttler, but I certainly think NZ threw the match. Lack of aggression, poor fielding. Either Williamson was deliberately playing lack lustre or he needs to go. He needs to go anyway.

Bad luck for Quinn, Swain should be out longer, it was clearly deliberate. As for MacDonald coaching NZ B team and Robertson coaching Barbarians is this a kind of AB’s coaching audition? Though Robertson should be a shoe in

Fosters ears are painted on and the others (bar the new comers) have head phones on when it comes to constructive criticizm and selection advice otherwise the problems would have disappeared by now.

Squeezing the Ian Foster DNA out of these All Blacks is going to take some time

Quick conversion for a try from a forward pass to prevent it being disallowed… As for the time wasting call, the ref warned the wallabies earlier in the game, so good, I am sick of teams wasting time. How long did the wallaby forwards spend lying on their backs to slow the game down?

Didn’t hear anything from Australia when Joubert awarded them a late penalty in the game against Scotland RWC 2015 a blatantly wrong call at that which gave them a shot in the final.
Was he wasting time? Absolutely
Was it deliberate? Definitely
Should he be penalised? Probably not.
Does it change anything? Nope

The rub of the green, you guys made it into the 2015 RWC final from a bad call at the end of the game against Scotland. I’ve seen it plenty of times. Either being too slow to throw in at a lineout or feed a scrum. It happens

Having an opinion is one thing but vulgarity towards someone who is admired the world over, who did Caitin no harm is not only inappropriate but an insult to her fans. It is also a reflection of the character of one of the games ambassadors which she is and she has brought the game in to dispute

There is a saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” the opposite is also true. And the NZR officials are destroying the All Blacks by not making the hard decisions. In 2014 RA replaced Ewen Mackensie a year out from a world cup and then went all the way to the final albeit with a lucky call in against Scotland in the semi. It is not too late to get Razor in and do a overhaul. Enough is enough.

3 years into any coaches tenure and you would expect to see the team reflect the coaches plan and direction DR and IF both are underwhelming

Absolutely right. Let’s be honest the Bledesloe is on the line if nothing changes. Time to lift the bar again as the rest of the world has caught up.

Hand in the resignation, Fozz, for your country's sake
