Did Robertsin really say that Scott Hansen is actually coaching the All Blacks???

Effectively, yes.
But Robertson’s vision was never for him to undertake the tasks that most would agree constitute the role of head coach......Robertson pitched himself as a culture coach, responsible for theming campaigns, communicating one-on-one with players to manage their expectations and career progression.
As Robertson confirmed to the Herald this week in Cardiff, it is his assistant, Scott Hansen, who effectively operates in the role most would recognise as the head coach. -
@nzzp Just had some info passed to me that the All Black game v Ireland will be played at Eden Park
The French game more than likely to be at the new Te Kaha Stadium in Christchurch and the Italian game heading to Dunedin
Not fully confirmed on the later 2 but lock in the Irish game at Eden Park -
@Steven-Harris So assuming the Bledisloe match is at Eden Park too, then no Tests next year in Wellington or Hamilton.

And here we are, in a thread about 50 years later...
There are a lot of corollaries between the 2020's and the 1970's.
Both eras coming after periods of sustained success.
83.33% test wins in the 60's.
Only two test losses between 1960 and 1970.The ABs lost 3 times to the boks alone in that period .. as well as drawing one.

Razor: Yeah,aah Hansy, I'm off surfing, gotta come up with a new theme for the year. I'll be gone for 2 days. These things take time. There's 26 hours of video analysis for you to get through. Give us the 2 minute summary when I get back. Then I've gotta visit the familes of the 5 of the squad. You see, it's all about connection and care.

@Frank I heard he’s already come up with the themes for the next two years. 2026 is “Row the Same Canoe” and 2027 is “Swim as One School of Fish”.

Will it make the boat go faster?

As much as I enjoy having a test match 20 minutes from my train station. Wellington Stadium is absolutely terrible.
-
@Steven-Harris Game against Ireland could be an afternoon kick-off (like the first Bledisloe this year) as the Wahs are scheduled to play at 7.30pm that night
-
@UpTheHarbs who are these Wahs you speak of ?
-
@Steven-Harris You know, the rugby league team that played the second half of an elimination final at the same time the ABs played against SA in Wellington?
-
@UpTheHarbs now i’m with you ,Its the “Our Year Guys”

My goal for the ABs in 2026 is to at least be the team that fans from Wales want to avoid at the WC (this video could also likely go in the stupid things you see thread)
New Zealand doesn't even get a mention. Fk me, we need to get back to our best fast and remind everyone that we are the rulers of rugby and we should be feared. RAZOR!!! Pull it together man!

Guy lost all credibility when he named Marcus Smith as the potential player of the tournament. Of all the people you could pick, he wouldn’t be in the top 50
