Apologist?!
start of thread was this:Foster is a RWC SF level coach? Sounds optimistic to me! Rennie just beat Foster's All Blacks with a team he found at Petrie Terrace!Rennie has hardly been impressive either with a record loss just last week. I'm not a fan of Foster's but he shouldn't be totally blamed for the loss, he can't control the stupidity and ill discipline of some of his players.
I think you would find I am NOT a Foster apologist.
He has been in All Black coaching team since 2012!!
The bench selections and swaps (delayed or otherwise) are on him! -

After the card our heads exploded, and we seemed to panic.
we get told they train for being a man down, yet Perth last year and this game, would seem they dont.
This is where you have to quesiton the leadership, last year more so with Read being more experienced.
I thought that they quite obviously changed up the tactics when Ofa left. They seemed to get confused once it was 14 on 14 and especially when it was 14 on 13.

I am reserving judgement on Foster until the end of 2021, when it is absolutely his team playing his way.
Foster has been shafting the Mighty Bay of Plenty since 2003. How much longer do you need?
-
@mariner4life might need another year to judge. But the halftime update is that Foster is the same coaching passenger he’s been for years.

Could Ian Foster be the new Wayne Smith...

He's not even as good as the old Wayne Smith.

I generally try to post with (attempted) humour or insight but...
Fuck off, Foster, you hopeless piece of shit.

I wouldn't sack him yet. Over the Hansen years we had a lot of insipid performances but we usually bounced back and got the job done. It didn't always happen but there were plenty of examples when it did. This team can't win if they don't blow a team away. We should beat Argentina easy but I would almost like to see us actually win a close one.

I wonder if Foster should pull another 10 players from the Mitre 10 cup ..?..because the ones that he’s pulled to sit in the stands with their number 1s on have helped ..

@hydro11 shouldn't this week have been the bounce?
Sorry badly worded. I meant under Hansen, we put in a bad performance but won anyway. Like the game where Fekitoa scored to beat the Aussies in the last minute or the game in Dunedin where we went 3 tries down. Now we aren't getting results out of bad performances.

This is exactly how the All Blacks will be under Foster. This is nothing to do with what he’s inherited from Steve.
This erratic level of performance is entirely how Foster coached the Chiefs for years, and clearly he’s learnt nothing. Even his 2009 team that got to the final got smashed at the final hurdle.
