That's where I think it gets weirdly personal. He may well be deluded in thinking he is still the best man for the job, but I've not seen anything suggested any lack of integrity - exactly the opposite really. He didn't decide to appoint himself and he's not well placed to realise it's time to go.

Anyway, I think we are agreed. It is time for them to replace him. I think there is plenty potential in this squad (albeit the competition is too strong for them to become dominant again any time soon) and Robertson will be licking his lips.

He said that the team suffering a record defeat in South Africa was both "their best performance this year," and "their most improved performance." I'll let that speak for itself.

How Lomax keeps getting selected is one of the great mysteries. He brings fuck-all to the game.

I think it is time for Foster to go but I don't really see why he has to resign. NZRU should sack him if they don't think he's up to it, he clearly thinks he is at the moment. Until that changes why resign? It'd be different if he had done something unethical or had lost the support of the players but there is no real suggestion of that.

What are the odds on Pivac replacing Foster if he goes ?
