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

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 ?. -

First coach to lower the expectations of the ABs for a good clump of Kiwi's.
Yep, can't be too often that expectations are slightly higher for the Warriors than for the All Blacks...

@Victor-Meldrew is that like being 100m world record holder but never winning a gold medal at world champs or olympics?

Only ab coach to lose his first RWC match in charge

It wasn't that long ago that Ireland were lucky to get off nil and did virtual laps of honour if they fluked it to double figures. Mr. Foster has comfortably erased those from Ireland's goals to aim for.

To be honest every team in world has done that for Ireland, they are seriously a f***en good team, and being No 1 in world doesn't come form beating just ABs. We not that important mate! :confounded_face:
is that a thing?
