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.

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?

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:

Could be a very quick exitit still does my head in that the players opinions had any say in the matter. Foster selected those players, which is a clear conflict of interest, and this is the Robinson that the recent board review apparently praises(?) with its focus on governance...
is that a thing?
