Losing heavily to Ireland at half time.

When was the last time they lost a series at home to a northern hemisphere side? Have they ever?
 
Ireland are absolutely outstanding at the moment. I hope for their sake they don't tail off again before the World Cup. As it stands they are well capable of winning the World Cup.
 
Taking nothing away from that Irish performance as it was phenomenal especially up front but ABs have got some serious issues to contend with as they approach a WC year.

Sam Cane is a poor leader. Some strange decisions near the end of that game and. His errors were costly.

Ireland pummelled our forwards in the scrum and in the breakdowns

Foster needs bombing out. His coaching pedigree has not been what is needed before he got the job and he is very unpopular. The whole situation needs a massive reboot quickly.

Heard on the comms that New Zealand have never fired a coach. Quite incredible.

Bit of a crisis in Kiwi rugby? It's hard to think of the All Blacks in crisis such is their consistent brilliance over the years.

For sure. Serious naval gazing will ensue. We hate losing and hate losing so comprehensively too. You just have to read the melt down on social media to understand what it means.

It's probably not a bad thing so close to the World Cup. I fully expect New Zealand to be back on it in France next year. No shame losing to this Ireland team either. They have genuinely top class players throughout their 22. One of two Kiwi's amongst them too!
