If we can get this up to 2500 posts we can then submit it to NZR as a petition to get rid of Foster

Big parallels with NZ rugby after the '71 Lions tour. Then, too many people didn't smell the coffee, refused to accept our overall skills and player pool were poor and decided one new coach after another was the solution
so how did you guys discuss that back then to get that consensus, send one another letters?
:fishing_pole:seriously though, for me it isnt even about the score on the board, its about how we get there right now, how we play, showing we have learnt, can adapt and have a some direction is quite important now.

We used to wait for Terry McLean's new book to come out.
But seriously, in many ways I think there was better analysis in the media at that time than now. Much less, but better quality overall.

@Victor-Meldrew The arrival of Jones, Zinny, Fitzpatrick and Kirwan was a good time.

Don't want to bang on about my longevity, but the turnaround happened in '77 when, with an totally underpowered pack, we beat the Lions with some of the most intelligent rugby I've seen played.

The 56 Springbok tour and 71 Lions tour were the stories I heard as a young fella listening to dad and his mates. They had so much respect for the 71 Lions. No disrespect to the 2022 Irish side, who created history, but it does feel it was given to them all a bit too easily.

Even more for Carwyn James who was arguably the greatest coach Rugby has seen. He utterly changed the way the game was played and you can pretty much trace today's attacking game back to him.

Brilliant coach re defined back play in the 1970’s
struggled with life away from the Rugby field.
He couldn’t really talk about it in those times. -

You’ve lost me even more.
If you’re trying to paint me as a Foster white knight then I can only ask that you look back at the numerous critical posts I have made.
What I will also do though is call out people talking bollocks and endlessly repeating themselves. I’m also happy to discuss the reasoning behind some decisions to try and understand them instead of just making knee jerk comments about fatness and stupidity.
Apologies if I have misunderstood this place as having discussion boards. -

Yep and books and articles were written in a manner that didn't appear to be only to get reaction. Let's face it a pretty good percentage of posters on rugby orus wouldn't read books as there is often more then 2 paragraphs involved and that would stretch some's ability to concetrate, and most were written by people who actually attended games and spoke to playerscoaches/supporters etc.
