      1 April 2021: Breaking news
      Allblack coach resigns
      New Zealand rugby has been rocked by the sudden and unexpected resignation of national team coach Ian Foster. Governing body New Zealand Rugby has called an emergency board meeting to discuss his replacement. With the first Allblacks game of the season only months away, the matter will be of one of major urgency.

      Potential candidates include Crusaders coach Scott Robertsen and former Lions coach Warren Fatland, however it is understood that Foster’s assistant and fan favourite Scott Mcleod is willing to step into the breach at short notice.

      The reason for Foster’s sudden departure is unknown. Speculation has been rife on social media. However the general consensus appears to be that he is a fat, KFC munching muppet who should never have gotten the job in the first place and either came to that realisation or suffered a cardiac arrest because he is a fat, KFC munching muppet.

      Whatever the reason, Allblack fans both in New Zealand and around the world are rejoicing and looking forward to a new era of logical selections, a winning game plan and a coach who doesn’t look like he swallowed a pig.

          A headline about NZR extending his contract another 6 years might have caught a few people out as the rage overtook the knowledge of the date.

          Unfortunately it would be somewhat believable given how NZR do things these days.

              I always wondered how that became a universally accepted clause for the fool's day. I suspect it was a tacit agreement between mothers sick and tired of kid's lame fool's jokes for the whole day🙂

                  You sent me down a rabbit hole without a definitive conclusion but this probably works:

                  "Why does the tradition expire at noon?

                  That feature probably relates to the customary boundaries of the old renewal festivals, which limit the mayhem to a very strict timeframe. The source of Britain's deadline might be the 17th century's well-named Shig-Shag day, when celebrants put oak sprigs in their hats to show loyalty to the monarchy, in reference to Charles II's hiding in an oak tree. Those who failed to observe the custom could only be ridiculed until midday. These days, anyone who plays a prank after noon is supposedly an "April fool" themselves; this nice observation may not seem so crucial to anyone who has been custard pied at 12.01pm, but it distinguishes our version of the ritual from that found in other countries."

                    Correct.
