      I think he has killed the idea of ABs playing at their peak

          First time I didn't give a shit about an AB loss.

          I suppose that's because there have been so many of them.....

          Yeah this loss had a massive air of inevitability about it.

          Even the usual die hard morons on FB weren’t as loud about the ABs as they usually are.

              Noooo. She's died before. You guys just know how to resurrect her from time to time 😉

                No we've lost 3 times in Paris: All Blacks in Paris

                Looking at those results maybe you misheard 'the first lost at Stade de France'?

                    First time I've doubted an AB coach.
                    I've always assumed there was some plan I was just too dumb to understand.
                    I even believed the "dry powder" throughout the 2019 World Cup, and walked out of Yokohama thinking.. "fuck - it just didn't quite work".
                    And throughout the last couple of years, again, just going... "fuck.. that went wrong" after each loss.
                    I'm finally ready to jump on the "panic and put Foster against the wall, shoot the fluffybunny" bandwagon.
                    But then... I've gone off half-cocked before....

                      Possibly worded quite badly... perhaps I mean more something like "First time I've stopped being willing to give the AB coach the benefit of the doubt"

                          Loss number seven under his watch came after just 24 tests, a rapid rate compared to his predecessor, Sir Steve Hansen.
                          It took 89 tests for Hansen to suffer seven losses.

                          History was made when the error-riddled All Blacks trudged off Sky Stadium staring down the barrel of a 22-3 halftime deficit.
                          Never before, in 119 years of test rugby, had the All Blacks trailed by 19 points at halftime in a test match.

                                  Same here. I saw it coming as I do a very bad time if we do not get rid of this inept coach. I''d have Razor and Schmidt as his assistant. A new Captain is also needed. A player that will always be picked because he is the best in his position.
