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

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
Undefeated.
Jeez I’ve changed my view if the Chiefs went undefeated when he was head coach

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.
A wee bit sensitive ? worse has been said about others on here.
You can’t help human nature.Maybe. But it gets a little childish.
Sure he could lose a few kilos but I fail to see the correlation between weight and coaching ability.
There's no correlation between fat and can/can't coach. However:
I fail to see the correlation between his rugby playing ability and his coaching ability, but you've brought that up.
I also fail to see the correlation between his coaching results and his job appointment.Both of which are fair points.
I suppose my poorly made point is his ability as an athlete has exceeded (most of) ours but we're quite happy to throw stones at his current health or apparent lack thereof.
As for his actual ability let's hang on and see what happens over time. So far unbeaten as AB coach. Sure Super Rugby was a mixed bag.
I do have reservations about his selections.

That was polite.

That was also polite. 50% win record is also true.
However yes, small sample size and we will see.

Making a Super Rugby final once and losing that by 44 points (and semis only one other time) from 2004-11 for me is less than a mixed bag. I am still astounded he got the role of AB's coach, it hardly reads as a template for success and my comments are based purely on this point.
However I am happy to wait before I judge his AB coaching stint as it has just begun and perhaps he learnt some lessons from his Chiefs days. I too have reservations about selections. I do even wonder if Bridge had been fit, would we have seen Jonah 2.0 tear up the garden of eden? The guy who has been giving me the good oil suggests not. (gossip of course)
For the record of course there is no correlation between fat coach/success, although if we look at top 10 coaches in any sport, could we find a fat one?

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.
" 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.
