First off an amazing result for the Irish but do you think the arrogance and complacency of the all blacks finally told especially last week.
 
Can’t argue much with what Abel has said.

It’s funny when people say arrogance, and we see it as confidence.

Even as a pin here (now kiwi, been a citizen for a while) I would say England is more arrogant.

Odo that ey

ordinarily I would agree about confidence but this was the first time I’d seen an all blacks side with so much complacency.

Esp after losing last week.

I’m a huge fan of the all blacks and I watched all the rugby championship games Inc the demolition of Australia and even in that game when they were so dominant they still kept up their standards and work ethic. Humility was always a factor.

So yes I did see arrogance today as though this mythical force of the wearing the shirt would be enough.
 
That’s true, it seemed like all the AB’s had to do was turn up and they would win, so I guess you are right about that arrogance.

There was no plan b, not even sure if there was a plan a tbh. Ireland were immense, well coached with very very good players.

I don’t blame Ian Foster for this, he should never have been given the job in the first place.

A long hard look is needed. I think he will still be there come the World Cup, as they say we don’t normally sack coaches, but it’s the end of our season now. The next 2 tests in SA are going to be interesting
 
Yes the SA tests (and the other rugby championship games) especially that first game will be immense

not long to wait either.

But as you say full credit to Ireland.
