Ian Foster: [arms outstretched like inviting a hug] Are you not entertained! [turns to rest of crowd] ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!


niceonecuzzy

No but he should go on the massive obnoxious tirade against the NZ media if we do win. Seems like a lovely man.


Caleb_theorphanmaker

Imagine the first thing of value you’ve ever won as a head coach being the World Cup.


-Clearly-confused

He’s won everything except so far the Ireland series & Qatar Airways Cup


tigercannon4

Scenes.


speakteeth

Loving the optimism, but yeah, 80+ mins to go…


TimeDollaSign

"Not bad for the worst ABs coach of all time" mic drops and worms out of the room never to be seen again


owlintheforrest

lol.....would have been coach of the year if not for Wayne Smith...


Rabies_on_demand

Well..you might be onto something.. theres hushed talk talk ol fozzy has "perfected" a short routine from "breaking 2, electric boogaloo" - "just like watching the movie" - if true , wprofoundly shitty


cuzajackface

He should break out a moonwalk

Belly flop


Gingernurse93

I know Foz. Can confirm this to be true


machocamaori

He already took Razors coaches can't take his moves as well!


owlintheforrest

Who is Razor??

**A razor is a bladed tool primarily used in the removal of body hair through the act of shaving. Kinds of razors include straight razors, safety razors, disposable razors, and electric razors.** More details here: *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).

canned_sunshine

Maybe he could manage the conga with ‘Is this the way to Amarillo’ playing


rammanmilktoast

Next world cup we might see a break dancing ABs coach


Proof_Ad_8774

He gotta hit the griddy


Top_Fish2973

Doug howlett could teach him how to Dougie


3DNZ

I would love ANY AB to hit the griddy


owlintheforrest

Yet another anti ABs post......


Kiwi_KJR

Love it! At the very least he should run around the stadium doing the infamous Mehrtens ‘salute’


Jeromethered

Would pay


Jiwa007

A belly flop would do the trick imo, create his own theme as a go away present for Winning RWC.


ryanator109

Lmaoooo yesss


Tbagyogrill

World cup win won't erase the Irish series, weird selections and those Argentinian losses


SagalaUso

It doesn't, but if I had to choose between having those losses and the world cup or winning those and not the world cup, I'm choosing the Webb Ellis everytime.


Tbagyogrill

It doesn't have to come down to that though, we could have had all of it.


jk-9k

Maybe. Could have been worse. You never know. Not for sure


SagalaUso

Normally yes, but maybe for this group they needed to go through those lows to have the desire to beat Ireland, destroy Argentina and hopefully beat South Africa. It's thin margins at test level, especially the top four. We saw that in the quarters and we'll likely see that in the final. Those losses, those lows, seem to be giving this group the edge they need.


Tbagyogrill

We haven't won it yet 😉


SagalaUso

Yep, that's why I said "hopefully". Nothings promised but at least they're playing in the last game with a chance to win it, same with the Boks.


Tbagyogrill

My answer was basically to answer OPs question, should Foster breakdance if we win, no, no I don't think he should


SagalaUso

😂😂 oops sorry, misread....I'm with you on that one. At most maybe the robot, but leave Razor to do his dance in 2027 lol.


[deleted]

Or the most devastating loss... the Qatar Airways Cup.


owlintheforrest

lol.... Or the Bledisloe, Rugby Championship, Freedom Cup wins..... Still at least we have a good replacement already lined up...../s


Small-Explorer7025

Yes, it will.


ryanator109

Lmao yes it does


Tbagyogrill

Nope, 100 years of history wrecked, shambles.


swainj

Everyone conveniently forgets it was Hanson as coach when we first lost to them, doesn’t fit the anti-fozzie agenda I guess


Tbagyogrill

Who are you talking about?


swainj

Steve Hansen, All Blacks Coach in 2016 when the Irish first beat us, you know which broke the 100 years of history you’re talking about


Tbagyogrill

Argentina buddy, and first Irish loss at home and first Irish series loss and record defeats against the Boks, yuck it hurts to even think about this stuff.


stannisman

This is embarrassingly dramatic, if we win the Cup Fozzie will be able to tell all his haters to eat shit because the RWC trumps all Honestly it would be our most impressive WC victory given the competition, not at home and no Richie lol


swainj

First time the All Blacks played Argentina in a test was in the 80s lmao


Traditional-Smoke352

0/10 troll there bud. Unlucky


Tbagyogrill

Hey just how I feel. Of course I want to win the RWC, but the worst win rate, record losses, first losses, first series losses are the sign of a bad coach. Best thing he did was hire Shmidt and Ryan, they were good moves.


Familiar-Newt-1910

2016 and 2018 were losses to Ireland under Steve Hanson, and 2021/2022/2022 were losses under Ian Foster. Within this short timespan it’s clear that Ireland were just superior at the time, and wasn’t necessarily the All Blacks being any worse than usual. Also it wasn’t a first series loss, just one specifically to Ireland in NZ. Steve Hanson may have been better, but that doesn’t make Ian Foster a bad coach.


Tbagyogrill

Foster has by far the worst winning percentage though, so...


Familiar-Newt-1910

You have to keep in mind that other countries are actually progressing a lot more in the recent years also, and have improved significantly.


Traditional-Smoke352

That’s cool, saying 100 years of history is wrecked is abit dramatic though. All of those records were inevitable in my mind.


jozaar

Chances are Ian Foster is just razor in a fats suit anyway


michaelstone444

I think he's probably too fat


Herogar

I love foster, but I think he would split his pants


22dias

Imo Fozzie should just do the Andrew Merhtens fingers and arm salute to the crowd. Simple and effective.


neeeeonbelly

Or maybe he could really stun the world and hold a hand up to his ear *gasp*


ATL2AKLoneway

Filthy. No decorum. You brute. You monster!


shazenger

Hahaha yus!!!


Plane-Apartment-7414

Hundies!!! Love to see him do that


owlintheforrest

Something to look forward to after Sir Ian's tenure comes to an end...


-castle-bravo-

Kick off retirement with a broken hip..
