    Sure Super Rugby was a mixed bag.

    Mixed bag? If the bag contained a perforated whoopee cushion, rotten egg and a whole lot of custard, sure.

    Foster v Rennie: New All Blacks coach 'can't afford to lose first match in charge', says Jones

    Foster v Rennie: New All Blacks coach 'can't afford to lose first match in charge', says Jones
    " Rennie did what Foster could not in eight years by winning the Super Rugby competition in his first year as head coach and backed it up a year later to prove it wasn’t a fluke."

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/119529151/all-blacks-coach-ian-foster-my-chiefs-experience-doesnt-define-who-i-am-now
    "In his eight seasons Foster took the Hamilton-based franchise to the finals twice, in 2004 (where they lost in the semifinals to the Brumbies) and 2009 (a defeat in the final to the Bulls). They also finished 6th in '05, 7th in '06, 6th in '07, 7th in '08, 11th in 2010 and 10th in '11."

    On second thoughts, I am going to give Foster some credit for paraphrasing a Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman quote.

    @nostrildamus Rennie benefits from Fozzie's 9 year plan. Can't wait to see how good the AB's are in 2028.

    All fine that you don’t have confidence in Foster but pumping up the Boks and Poms when they aren’t playing any test rugby and they are going through transitions themselves, is a little presumptive

    I don’t think so You only have to look at last year that was not that far ago.And where SA and England can be again I don’t see we have progressed much from the end of Hansen’s area looks kind of the same to me.

    I am looking forward to 2023 are you saying SA and England will be shit then not as shit as we might be if we don’t change the coach

    How many tests have they won in 2020? Who are their shining lights as players in 2020?

    Don’t be silly

    What's being silly about that? You're the one touting imaginary teams as being top of the pile, so why don't you fill us in on how good their players are this year and their test record?

    I reckon SA will be reeeeeealy dominant after not playing any test rugby for 2 years eh.

    You are being silly again

    I think you're right. Extremely silly to think there might be some substance behind your waffle. I should know better.

    Well there you go sorted in your mind Excellent

    Well if it was in my mind only, then I guess you'd back up what you're saying instead of giving lame one liners right?

    I have explained myself it’s getting boring,if you don’t understand or want to that’s fine.
    We move on.

    England wuz good last year. Is that it?

    You are getting there but not quite

    Right. And if they scrape past the baabaas this weekend what is last year worth? Who's in the team from last year?

    Let go of the Bone you will wear yourself out.

    You can't answer because you have no scooby. Fair enough, like you said it was silly to expect you to have something to back it up.

    Are you still banging on about this
    Let go before you wind yourself into a massive Knott it’s not good for your health.

    Yep. Definitely not wound. Just wondering if there's anything to base the bizarre claim on that England and SA are the teams to beat this year So far you've provided zero evidence and stupid posts claiming I'm banging on, rather than backing it up. They haven't even played and one isn't going to.

    I didn’t say this year I said looking forward they will be strong again with a different defence pattern than the pathetic one the wallabies showed at Eden Park
    So don’t trust we are on the right path under Foster to win another WC let’s face it who fucks us in the World Cups
    Not Argentina or Aussie

    No but the execution was terrible at Eden Park they fell of a large amount of tackles
    So I would suggest they still have not found a defensive pattern that works for them consistently.
    England and SA have their’s sorted that’s why we struggle with their patterns .under Foster who was the attack coach last year we couldn’t unlock England,unless we can think differently we may not again.
    I don’t see any major shifts from what we have been doing under Hansen in the last two years.
    I want to see something from Foster that shows me we can adapt to different teams and defensive patterns.

    All fine that you don’t have confidence in Foster but pumping up the Boks and Poms when they aren’t playing any test rugby and they are going through transitions themselves, is a little presumptive

    I don’t think so You only have to look at last year that was not that far ago.And where SA and England can be again I don’t see we have progressed much from the end of Hansen’s area looks kind of the same to me.

    I am looking forward to 2023 are you saying SA and England will be shit then not as shit as we might be if we don’t change the coach

    How many tests have they won in 2020? Who are their shining lights as players in 2020?

    Don’t be silly

    What's being silly about that? You're the one touting imaginary teams as being top of the pile, so why don't you fill us in on how good their players are this year and their test record?

    I reckon SA will be reeeeeealy dominant after not playing any test rugby for 2 years eh.

    You are being silly again

    I think you're right. Extremely silly to think there might be some substance behind your waffle. I should know better.

    Well there you go sorted in your mind Excellent

    Well if it was in my mind only, then I guess you'd back up what you're saying instead of giving lame one liners right?

    I have explained myself it’s getting boring,if you don’t understand or want to that’s fine.
    We move on.

    England wuz good last year. Is that it?

    You are getting there but not quite

    Right. And if they scrape past the baabaas this weekend what is last year worth? Who's in the team from last year?

    Let go of the Bone you will wear yourself out.

    You can't answer because you have no scooby. Fair enough, like you said it was silly to expect you to have something to back it up.

    Are you still banging on about this
    Let go before you wind yourself into a massive Knott it’s not good for your health.

    Yep. Definitely not wound. Just wondering if there's anything to base the bizarre claim on that England and SA are the teams to beat this year So far you've provided zero evidence and stupid posts claiming I'm banging on, rather than backing it up. They haven't even played and one isn't going to.

    I didn’t say this year I said looking forward they will be strong again with a different defence pattern than the pathetic one the wallabies showed at Eden Park
    So don’t trust we are on the right path under Foster to win another WC let’s face it who fucks us in the World Cups
    Not Argentina or Aussie

    South Africa x 1 (1995)
    England x 1 (2019)
    France x 2 (1999, 2007)
    Australia x 2 (1991,2003)

    At least you're right about Argentina

    Still over the last years we have also lost to Ireland
    Struggled to beat the Lions lost a SF to England
    All play differently to the Wallabies which people seem content if we beat them this year instead of growing .
    We used to lead the pack and evolve the game and teams had to catch us Not anymore.we are stagnant

    You were talking World Cup(s).

    Happy to consider the shifted goal posts.

    In general with an eye towards the next WC is were I started this conversation way back in the thread.

    Let's say we won the RWC last year, then had only just started playing internal rugby in the past month or so and weren't even going to play internationals until next year if we're lucky. Do you think we'd be as good as when we won the RWC when we eventually make it back?

    I think I am mostly with Bones and Booboo here in general I would say

    1. Fozzie is probably not most peoples first choice but he is the coach now , I think its only fair to give him a chance.
    2. Fat jokes are pretty old.
    3. Not much point in comparing ABs to SA or England when we have no clue what they will be like, better to concentrate on whats in front of us for now.
    4. I'll take the record so far but obviously 4 tests to go to judge the year.
    5. I'll take the selections so far, plenty of debate but no disasters and has blooded 5 new ABs in the first 2 games. Selections have been pretty close to what I would have selected.

    This year has been a write of to be honest
    So I can’t judge how we are tracking under Foster with what we are playing against.
    I just want to see some improvement from the last couple of years I just see more of the same.

    If talented players break into the team that add to the depth or better yet, supersede the current players, then it isn't a write off. Clarke, Sotutu, Jordan etc. may all be long term ABs. Of course, if Bridge wasn't injured then Clarke may not have started so you can't really say Fozzie or the coaching team get points for that. Likely Sotutu will only start and Jordan play in a dead rubber or Argie game but if they do play well then I am happy. They were the form players in SR for their position and still young, at the very least if the selectors don't play musical chairs with older players then they are building something new.

    That doesn't make any sense at all. If we were losing horribly would you say the same? If no new talent was being blooded would you say the same? It'll be a pretty funny stance to reflect on if Aus manage to beat those teams when they next play.
