Ian Foster and the armchair ‘experts’

I wonder if all the scriptwriters who have been bagging Ian Foster will get off his case now he has been confirmed as All Black coach until the World Cup.

The first question would have to be, could they coach the team any better and achieve different results?

Second would have to be, is the coach responsible for all forward passes and dropped catches, all of which can contribute to a loss of possession?

Under the pressure of a fastmoving game, these can all contribute to losing the game and have nothing whatsoever to do with the coach.

Now Fossie has been confirmed, let’s hope all these so-called experts hiding behind their pens will get in behind the coach and the team in their next games against Argentina and Australia. Go the All Blacks.
