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.

So to update
First to lose to Ireland in NZ.
First to lose a series to Ireland.
First 3 test series loss in professional era.
Worst halftime deficit ever.
First to lose to Argentina, and at home
Highest score against us
Biggest losing margin x2
Lowest world ranking
Worst win rate in Pro era
First ever consecutive 14 point+ losses
First loss in RWC pool play
Worst ever RWC loss
Biggest margin of defeats and highest scores conceded against Argentina, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, and France
Only ever time lost 3 consecutive home tests -
Our winning percentage against top-tier nations must be pretty appalling.

Is there a world where we don’t qualify from this pool? Italy are not as shit as people think

@Yeahtheboys
I agree on the last Northern tour we struggled to put them away,
Beating Italy maybe not a given.@Chris said in Foster's Firsts.:

I agree beating Italy is not a given but we didn't struggle to put them away. We struggled to put Japan away last year.

I actually thought the score was closer,
We took a while to put them away didn’t we ?.
