The 'How is Fozzie going?' thread

@Chris as some were quick to rate Rennie on his immediate impact on the chiefs, why should the measuring stick be different at Int level, particularly after the improvement evident in B1, and Foster (rightly) being lambasted and people moaning about Rennie not coaching us , as if he was a genius after 1 game.
Chiefs were pretty average before he took them on, similarly Aus.

@canefan a week ago Rennie was talk of the town, then they lose and his team doesn't rate cos they rebuilding.
That was what I was getting at.
At the end of the day, if Aussie rugby is strong, it is good for us too, which is a good thing all round.

I have no doubt they have a good coach. He has already changed their onfield demeanour and discipline

And off-field behaviour. How often did the Wallabies have a beer with the ABs after a test under Cheika?

Did they have one this time? Cheika viewed us like we were the enemy as opposed to a rival. I think that stance tended to interfere with his and the team's ability to think clearly and rationally

Australia are rebuilding I didn’t rave about Rennies influence after game 1 more how the ABs were average
Rennie will have a good team and culture bedded in for the WC .
I do not have confidence Foster will have the same come WC . -

I do not have confidence Foster will have the same come WC .Once Aussie rugby politics kicks in, Aussie Dave will have his work cut out for him. Who will the Wallabies be playing at 1st 5 come 2023? Who will be their fullback?
Question marks about Hooper’s captaincy.
Massive assumptions being made on Rennie which some on both sides of the ditch made when Robbie was appointed too.
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

@ACT-Crusader Lolesio will be their 10 in 2023.

And Foster is still shit.
Based on?
50% win rate with ABs, even sorse with Chiefs, picking Bridge and Jordie as wings, being a bloater?
Just guesses

I like his game. Got good size too for a young 1st 5. He’s still a pup and by RWC will be only 23. Rennie better get his skates on quick smart if they are going to build around Noah 😀

I don't think you need to include the bits that aren't in bold.

You know?
I'm thinking the fat jokes / jibes are kind of immature.
Oooh gosh, look at him, he must be incompetent because overweight.
He was a better rugby player than just about every one of you fluffybunnys on here.
And what have you skinny runts achieved in your long illustrious rugby careers?
Speaking as a fat fluffybunny myself.
But whatever floats your boat.

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
