    Does Fozzie even really matter?

    Ben Darwin's theory of sport evolution: familiarity breeds success | Robert Kitson

    Ben Darwin's theory of sport evolution: familiarity breeds success | Robert Kitson

    Analysis by the ex-Wallaby’s company shows the benefits of long-term team stability and could transform our view of sport

    holy shit. How many "well dur" articles are you reading at the moment?

    Ben Darwin spends an enormous amount of time looking at numbers to reach conclusions everyone already knows.

    Sadly when it comes to rugby journalism, dur articles are all you get!

    Yeah. We used to call them "combinations" or even a "team".

    This could be of interest to Fozzie (assuming anyone believes it):

    "Ask a rugby player – in either code – to wear a different number on his back and fulfil a slightly less familiar role in a big game and, on average, his team score seven points fewer per game."

    I find that difficult to believe given how few times a settled team plays the same opposition. Sounds like someone's analysis consists of a pivot table and subtracting two averages...

    Can we judge Foster on playing an Australian side rebuilding or a very underdone Argentina.
    Real test will come against teams like SA and England who have very good defensive systems.
    Which we have struggled to unlock recently.
    We may live in a false bubble this season until we really get tested.

    No idea about Hamish Biddell whoever he is but if he said along the same lines he is right. you can have fluffy bunny moments over Foster but you will fall along with him on your arse.
