Foster's Firsts.

@ACT-Crusader Of course, I'll keep the faith, and will support the ABs no matter what. Have the old Silverfern T-shirt as well. I ordered it even though I was too timid to post much at that time. I will also push the replace Foster bandwagon online although I wish nothing but the best for the man himself.

That's the point. It isn't personal. I'm sure Fozzie is a top bloke to have a beer with. But as the head of a high performance team, all evidence points to him not being good enough.
Thanks for trying Ian. At least you now know you weren't good enough 😁

@Rancid-Schnitzel I don’t feel any worst than I did when we lost in the 2003 semi or the 2007 QF or the 2009 losses to the Boks, or those Bledisloe heartbreaks against the John Eales teams in the late 90s and early 00s or the 94 French debacle. Because for me as a fan the outcome is the same - a loss.
Sure there are things that I see as problems, but I’m just a fan and I’ll keep supporting the team no matter who’s involved - there’s pain no doubt 😀
Given @BartMan has come out of Fern retirement - maybe he needs to get the “Keep the Faith” T-shirts back up and going again. I got mine years ago and now one of the ACTC Jnr’s wears it 😉
I have faith in New Zealand rugby but no faith whatsoever in Foster. You have to be a fool to really.

Another Foster first:
He's finally killed the myth the All Blacks peak between World Cups.
-
I think he has killed the idea of ABs playing at their peak

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

@Rancid-Schnitzel said in Foster's Firsts.:
First time I didn't give a shit about an AB loss.
I suppose that's because there have been so many of them.....
Yeah this loss had a massive air of inevitability about it.
Even the usual die hard morons on FB weren’t as loud about the ABs as they usually are.

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

First All Black team to lose in Paris I think?
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'?

Ah yep, that must have been it.

@Kruse said in Foster's Firsts.:
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"

@Machpants said in Foster's Firsts.:
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. -

You hope!
