Tri Nations
Congratulations to Argentina recording their first ever win against the All Blacks.
I'm not cynical just experienced
Re: Tri Nations
That was so much more than just a win; that was a comprehensive victory for the Argentinians against a full-strength New Zealand side!
A 10 point margin that would have been 15 points were it not for an All Blacks consolation try after the siren And New Zealand's first back to back defeats since 2011 as well.
Not bad for a side that hasn't played Test rugby in over 400 days!
(And even better from my personal point of view is that four of the Argentinian 23 from today will be lining up for the Western Force in 2021. 2-Montoya, 9-Cubelli, 18-Medrano & 20-Lezana)

Re: Tri Nations
Great for the game and hoping Italy can win today as well!
Re: Tri Nations
Congratulations for the Pumas, a proper victory with passion, accuracy & determination, a shame none of our Argentinian contingent were present but I'm sure they will be all be delighted.
Pablo Matera was immense too!

Re: Tri Nations
Ian Foster is going to get the boot and Scott Robertson will replace him IMO.
IDK Foster always seemed a odd choice for me.
His stats as head coach of the chiefs.
1 Semi final
1 Final
Now granted that era had some of the best teams to ever play the sport IMO.
BUT
His final 2 seasons in charge they finished 10th and 11th.
Then Dave Rennie comes in and they finish 1st in the league twice straight away.

Re: Tri Nations
Also if Taufua does go what I would give to get Matera back.
Re: Tri Nations
Whilst I agree that they should have gone with Robertson in the first place, I will be surprised if Foster is sacked soon, yes the All Blacks have very high standards but one draw and two losses is a bit much to sack to get rid of him now in my view.
They didn't sack Sir Graham Henry after 2007...

Re: Tri Nations
I didn't say that he will get the sack now.
But I reckon if things stay the same over the next 12 months I don't see the AB's keeping him.
Also don't forget Henry did win 3 back to back tri nations the first time they ever did it, before 2007, it wasn't like Henry was stinking up the place anytime before that RWC.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Re: Tri Nations
Rennie was already signed to Glasgow before Cockers was given the heave ho
We wouldn't have gotten Robertson anyway.

Re: Tri Nations
Doesn't mean we shouldn't of tried, especially with Rennie, Robertson had a bit of a sulk so....Hansen & Henry had time coaching abroad.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 1:10 pm Rennie was already signed to Glasgow before Cockers was given the heave ho

Re: Tri Nations
Ian Foster standing alongside Wayne Pivac as (new) coaches under mounting pressure.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....
