    And, for the first time ever, Aura is actually dead.

    Noooo. She's died before. You guys just know how to resurrect her from time to time 😉

    No we've lost 3 times in Paris: All Blacks in Paris

    Looking at those results maybe you misheard 'the first lost at Stade de France'?

    First time I've doubted an AB coach.

    Did you only start following the ABs in 2020?

    Possibly worded quite badly... perhaps I mean more something like "First time I've stopped being willing to give the AB coach the benefit of the doubt"

    Loss number seven under his watch came after just 24 tests, a rapid rate compared to his predecessor, Sir Steve Hansen.
    It took 89 tests for Hansen to suffer seven losses.

    History was made when the error-riddled All Blacks trudged off Sky Stadium staring down the barrel of a 22-3 halftime deficit.
    Never before, in 119 years of test rugby, had the All Blacks trailed by 19 points at halftime in a test match.

    Another Foster first:

    He's finally killed the myth the All Blacks peak between World Cups.

    You hope!

    Still a chance for that to be broken this year.

    First time I didn't give a shit about an AB loss.

    I suppose that's because there have been so many of them.....

    Same here. I saw it coming as I do a very bad time if we do not get rid of this inept coach. I''d have Razor and Schmidt as his assistant. A new Captain is also needed. A player that will always be picked because he is the best in his position.

    First time I 've genuinely thought I could do a better job of coaching the ABs than the Fat Useless Clown in the coaching box.

    I'm pretty sure Fozzies a better coach than I am. While some of you may have doubts whether this is possible, I just don't have the International coaching experience I need , and maybe if I spent a few years coaching Wales or Scotland (I can't coach Australia for religious reasons) then that would change.

    @mofitzy_ seems a good guy, and pretty positive/optimistic...on the outside at least.

    @taniwharugby
    That's fair, though his optimism doesn't seem to be helping anything except maybe his own mental health. At what point does optimism start to hinder his ability to do his job? Seems like we are well past that now.
