      Does it mean that we have actually have had the cattle for the last 4 years, but the coaching hasn’t been up to it until the last 6 weeks?

      In fairness, since Ryan and Schmidt took real power, barring that loss to Argentina at home, which even then was only just after they'd come in, we've been good results wise.

      Apart from the record loss to SA, our worst loss ever

      I mean sure, but that was a warmup game. It was a pure cash grab where neither side was seriously trying anything too dramatic.

      Fuck that attitude, it was a test match versus the boks

      No, fuck with knobs the administrators who scheduled a game which forced TWM to choose between beating Boks and winning RWC.

      It’s a stain that will stay on the books for decades and only marginally reduced if we do the Boks in the Finale.

        That's typically my attitude, but I was there and it was clear it was as close to a friendly as you can get. Almost felt like being at the 7s - just a bit of fun on and off the field. I keep forgetting it happened.

        Even a friendly requires two teams to show up

                      A guy universally reviled as the worst thing that ever happened to All Black rugby, has a winning percentage in excess of 70%

                        When he was really reviled it was a fuck lot lower, everyone has agreed that this RWC run has been great. Just not worth the rest of the tenure.

                                  No, that's not it

                                  Discussion? Fine
                                  You don't discuss. You've set your stall put around Ian Foster. And you go on. And on. And on. And on. About how he sucks.

                                  Good stuff? Luck, someone else, or the players overcoming their shit coach
                                  Everything bad? "See?!! I told you you!"

                                  It's weird.

                                  Ian Foster has been disappointing me personally since 2004. I have Facebook memories annually telling me just how much I have been disappointed.
                                  And yet here I am, 19 years later, able to admit maybe he knows a bit more than I gave him credit for.

                                  I can't wait to read your posts if we manage to win next weekend

                                    Dude I have totally acknowledged that I am eating humble pie with how well we have done in the tournament. You're completely wrong. I had us out in the quarters, dead cert. He's done really well, pulled the team together. Not said anything else about this rwc, is been a very good campaign so far. But I refuse to call him anything else than a poor abs coach as RWC is not everything.

                                      A poor AB coach is a legend to nearly every other nation on earth.
