Ouch. Truth hurts 😀
I was never a fan of Fozzie but was less of a fan of axing him and how that would affect NZ Rugby more broadly.
I guess it forced changes ie, Jason Ryan and Joe Schmidt which needed to happen.
Harsh……Foster’s tenure included:
Ireland’s best ever team
France’s best team/depth in decades
SA’s golden generation players and coaches
The last years of England being successful under Eddie Jones
Argentina with a super coachNah, think the headline said emotional ex-teammates (of his as he’s not on the team anymore). So it was current AB’s, or AB’s in the team at the time. A leadership group went to CEO’s room.
