[QUOTE="miccloarch, post: 1098307, member: 78309"] The funny thing that Fozzie apologists don't seem to get is that his appointment wouldn't have been such a big deal if we'd won the World Cup in 2019. Three-peat done and dusted, give Foster 4 years to learn the ropes, then if he fails in 2023 no big deal. Now however it is a big deal. Imagine the Boks doing the repeat. It'll be like 2007 all over again 🤣😢. NZR board have turned rugby in New Zealand into such a joke that a brilliant win and performance against the old foe is overshadowed by off the field nonsense and a general feeling of absolute "meh." Appointing the assistant to the guy who failed last time out while overlooking the best coach in the country is such an obvious gaffe to anyone who doesn't suffer from the tunnel vision evident in NZ Rugby. Scotland beating the ABs at Murrayfield would be all kinds of epic. [/QUOTE]
