I feel for Sam Cane. He's a solid player, great in the tight and doing a lot of the hard, unseen work that never makes it on to the highlight reels.
He has had the highly unenviable task of following in the shirt of one of the greatest and most iconic players the game has ever seen AND being groomed by the set-up and media to be that man's successor. What unreasonable pressure.
He has had to preside as captain over one of the most tumultuous periods in the AB's history, under a coach that doesn't seem to understand that the term "loose forwards" doesn't mean sticking a hand in a bag of players' names and placing them in positions like Rugby Countdown ("I'll take another blindside please Carol"). Let's leave aside the disaster that has been the midfield entirely.
The dude cannot work miracles with the conveyor belt of players and no discernible game plan whatsoever. He's been scapegoated majorly and I think it's really unfair. People lambast Eddie for being bizarre but it must be impossible to do the job under Foster.
