          @sparky ordinarily I'd say you can't attribute that to the coaching, but there is certainly some issues with our discipline which does come back to coaching

                  I haven't see any stats but it seems to me they got carded a fair bit too. Or maybe it seemed that way to me because I support them.

                                @Machpants well he is teetering on the edge there if you take out those that were obviously sacked early in their tenures and if he manages to lose another one or two…..

                                  I think this is accurate: Foster 2020-2023

                                  Wins: 28 (68.3%)
                                  Losses: 11 (26.8%)
                                  Draws: 2 (4.9%)

                                  So if we bomb out in the QF

                                  Wins: 30 (68.2%)
                                  Losses: 12 (27.3%)
                                  Draws: 2 (4.5%)

                                      Here is a stat. Against SA, France, and Ireland since 2020, the ABs winning statistic is 33%. That is 8 losses, 4 wins.

                                        I note that almost all those coaches with poorer results got the chop before 4 years. As should have Foster (because at that point his results were even worse).

                                        Some of those guys only had one losing tour, and then were axed. The series loss to Ireland would have been the end of a coach in previous times.

                                          Fred Allen is missing and had a 100% record from 14 Tests. Never lost a game IIRC and had one draw.

                                          There's some names there like Ivan Vodanovich & JJ Stewart I really don't want to ever see again.... And we think the last few years have been a bit shit.
