Does it mean that we have actually have had the cattle for the last 4 years, but the coaching hasn’t been up to it until the last 6 weeks?
In fairness, since Ryan and Schmidt took real power, barring that loss to Argentina at home, which even then was only just after they'd come in, we've been good results wise.
Apart from the record loss to SA, our worst loss ever
I mean sure, but that was a warmup game. It was a pure cash grab where neither side was seriously trying anything too dramatic.
Fuck that attitude, it was a test match versus the boks
That's typically my attitude, but I was there and it was clear it was as close to a friendly as you can get. Almost felt like being at the 7s - just a bit of fun on and off the field. I keep forgetting it happened.
Even a friendly requires two teams to show up
FIFY noob

I think it's a headspace improvement. Sure, Schmidt & Ryan have made a difference, but it's the focus that's improved so much for meBody language, demeanour and the ability to remain calm when under pressure is on another level.

I'm starting to think Ian Foster is a massive player and fucked your wives
Every time he did the wives gave him a cookie
A packet, surely?

No, fuck with knobs the administrators who scheduled a game which forced TWM to choose between beating Boks and winning RWC.
It’s a stain that will stay on the books for decades and only marginally reduced if we do the Boks in the Finale.

We did, but only for a half.

@mariner4life I hadn’t seen that one before. It’s the best of the lot.

If ever there was a graphic that summed up AB supporters and our level of delusion it's this
A guy universally reviled as the worst thing that ever happened to All Black rugby, has a winning percentage in excess of 70%

When he was really reviled it was a fuck lot lower, everyone has agreed that this RWC run has been great. Just not worth the rest of the tenure.
Interactive: How does Foster's tally of losses compare with other ABs coaches?
During his 26 tests in charge, Ian Foster has accumulated a long list of firsts.

If you drop his wins he's at like 0%

You're a very strange guy. I hope you are hung like your avatar with your offer to plow (sic) my wife

And you're weirdly obsessed. Everyone has their kinks I guess

No, that's not it
Discussion? Fine
You don't discuss. You've set your stall put around Ian Foster. And you go on. And on. And on. And on. About how he sucks.Good stuff? Luck, someone else, or the players overcoming their shit coach
Everything bad? "See?!! I told you you!"It's weird.
Ian Foster has been disappointing me personally since 2004. I have Facebook memories annually telling me just how much I have been disappointed.
And yet here I am, 19 years later, able to admit maybe he knows a bit more than I gave him credit for.I can't wait to read your posts if we manage to win next weekend
