Foster's Firsts.
-
This thread should have a secondary title - Cane's firsts. Because he is a fucking embarrassment of a test player, let alone a captain, and he is getting subbed off while his team loses again, and again, and again.
Cane is as bad at playing rugby as Foster is at coaching.

First home loss to Argentina.... the hits keep coming.
First ever 3 loses at home in a row. First ever negative points differential after more than 1 game in RC/3N
Wouldn't you love the press to have the balls to throw these things in his face. Like hard hitting political journalist. These are facts. Throw them at him. Demand explanations or resignations

5th in IRB/World-Rugby rankings.
For the second time in his reign, previously never lower than 3 I think
Ah - shit - I'd forgotten we'd been 5th already. I thought he was the first to take us to 4th, and just now - the first to take us to 5th.
Playing with that rankings calculator - is a fucking depressing hobby the day after a loss. -

Wow, big November coming up, I’m gonna buy some single malt to celebrate !

At least Cane used to be good

Ssshhh... I'm pretty sure Cane ran over @Tim 's new-but-already-beloved puppy last night. I'd hold off saying anything even remotely positive about him for a little while.

Good enough to make the King Country starting lineup in probably the last time he played an NPC match in NZ.

ABs could quite realistically already be 7th by then.

Just embrace it. It’s like being a fan of Scotland.
ok MacFoster is the new coach.

Old MacFoster had a team
Ee-i-ee-i-o
And on that team he dumped some shit
Ee-i-ee-i-o... -
For the first time ever I have zero faith in the AB coach. And I have limited enthusiasm while he remains in charge. Just look at his post-match comments “we were a bit disappointed with the reffing at the breakdown” and “cane played fine”.
If he loses next week, it’ll be a shitshow of all proportions.
The guy just seems clueless. Like reece discarded, Fakatava nowhere to be seen, backrow unbalanced and so on. Just hopeless!

The gall of Stuff to include their "please give us some money, to help us do all this awesome journalism" at the end of THAT article... which is almost 100% copy-pasted from the Fern.
Aaron - whoever you are - I don't mind you doing that, but the request for alms being included was a bit on-the-nose. -
I hate that we lost a test that was there for the taking, but on the “firsts”, I’m a little less fussed/shocked about the fact we lost to the Argies at home. We play them twice a year and have been doing so for a few years now, plus they have coaches that are very familiar with AB rugby, add to that their development, it was bound to happen.
This doesn’t remove all the issues we are seeing with our play etc.
