    I agree on the last Northern tour we struggled to put them away,
    Beating Italy maybe not a given.

      Last time we played Italy 2021 we won 47-9.

      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 AB team to lose a game against France at a RWC while wearing black and France wearing alternative strip? 🤔 is that a thing?

                  Yep, can't be too often that expectations are slightly higher for the Warriors than for the All Blacks...

                      Your All Blacks expectations are better than that? 🙂

                                    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:

                                      @Steven-Harris said in Foster's Firsts.:

                                      @Machpants and this is the horse the players backed
                                      Could be a very quick exit

                                      it 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...

                                          On the bright side, by the time this gormless saga is over, people will be looking forward to Razor making a clean shave and selecting a smarter tougher team.
