Thinking for future…Would people take John Mitchell back as head coach in future? He’s got lots of international experience as an assistant and may well lead England’s women to WC success.

This has to be a troll.
Hell no.

Only if he takes us all on a journey.

Has Razor lost the dressing room?
Did he ever have it?
It's a fair question.
He's lucky he has the media and public wrapped around his finger. He has a great PR team.
I always wanted to like the guy, and still want us to turn it around, be that with him or someone else, but was put off from the beginning with that cringe 3 part doco with Jim Kayes, along with the breakdancing and things I mentioned earlier.

@stodders He wouldn't be my choice .There were big problems behind the scenes in his previous tenure as All Blacks coach. The sponsors were unhappy. Graham Henry had a lot of crap to clean up in 2004.

That was over 20 years ago. He has a lot of experience overseas now. And going on what I am reading about why some think Robertson is failing (lack of international experience), he fits the bill.
In truth, I’m not a Mitchell fan. Just found it interesting that he ticks certain boxes.

I remember not being crazy with Hansen then he got the job and we were. winning and I liked him ,
I reckon I’d like any coach if they brought success , dont care about th3 personality, just establish a winning culture and I’ll be a fan .

Liked him a lot more when I saw how much he cared in the doco about RWC11

We could have fielded a back three of Clarke - Jordie - Jordan and completely nullified their kicking game, but our coaches are too stupid

As in Will Jordan? Catch and offload to a person in a worse position will Jordan? Any skill outside of just running the ball is not Will's strength.

IIRC he was doing great with that for the Saders. Another guy who appears to be regressing the more time he spends in ABs camp

I’d love to see Cam Roigard or Tupou Vaa’i made captain - a statement of intent, ala Siya Kolisi being made the Boks captain in 2018, a look to the future rather than going back. It wouldn’t solve everything but it would reset things to an extent.

Vaai is a bit of a douchebag to be honest. Playing well but carrying on like a tit.

Shit yeah.
He could go one better and get FIFTEEN Crusaders in the AB starting line up.

Steve Hansens 3 non negotiable's.
Number 1 : The Team comes first.
"when we had to make tough decisions the team came above the individual".
This is where the current and previous set up falls down.
Beaudy, ALB, Rieko, Reece, Perenara, Christie, Scooter as captain, all examples of tough decisions not being made.
