  1. Foster has the lowest winning test % rate of all recent AB coaches. Now take away wins over Fiji, Tonga, Japan, USA, Canada and Italy and then what does his winning rate look like??
  2. He comes across as another that sums up NZ rugby - soft as marshmellows. I wonder how much professional rugby and contracts have to do with our demise. Contract - yeah still get paid no matter what - back in my playing days you played for loyalty and pride and if you did not perform - gone!
  3. While I would like to see Razor in charge I do not think it will happen - what about Joe Schmitt who was brought in at the last minute before the first Irish test where the AB's did look pretty good. Then Foster and Plumtree came back for the next 2 and we all know what happened!
  4. An interesting observation I made and cannot recall if it was last year or the year before - Why did Foster announce that the AB captain will be Sam Cane 3 months before the team was named? Was that a case of you look after me and I will look after you? For me Foster has to see out his tenure until after the world cup but Plumtree goes and Cane loses the captaincy and starting roll. Like Midnight says I also do not think Ardie is the right player for captain. A common saying that applies to rugby as in all other facets of life ........respect is earnt, not demanded ☺
  5. A lot of finger pointing at Foster - ( I do not think he should be there either) but the AB's were completely outplayed in the forwards. The forward coach is Plumtree and his record as a coach is terrible! As for the halftime interview with him - sums it all up!
  6. No - you mean like a Wout van Aart 😁 could blow up any time soon
  7. they are all like that in Australia -aren't they? 😉
  8. Tonights stage across the storebaeltsbroen bridge will be interesting if the wind gets up

  13. one day they will find a cure for his dyslexia - that'll be music to his arse 🙃
  14. 1 - Showdown 2 - Capital Express Although I do not think it is racing in a Group race.
  15. 1977 I think H had stopped riding by then and maybe Billy had gone to OZ?
  16. Okay we have had D Walsh and B Compton listed against a horses name that was wrong. But did they ride in the race? Also throw in D Moseley?
  17. Will vS strike gold again? 😉 J P Riordan P D Johnson R Franklin G Childs
  18. Greg Chitty Earle Harrison Kenny Reggett
  19. Interesting that the FA cup semi's feature the 3 top premiership teams and 'crippled alice'
  20. Koparoa - Dashun Grahonja ??
  21. I think he meant 1977 - being a Gluteus Maximus he is a little behind 🤣
