There is so much different stories out there depending on who you talk to,
I know it is coming out Thursday as a media release was sent out.

[george33]

We'll see who has their ear closest to the ground very soon then

[george33]

I know a media release came out today telling the media the findings will be released Thursday.
I have been told 3 different scenarios so who knows now.

[george33]

@canefan players coming to him during last 3 weeks apparently

[george33]

Leon McDonald's name has been mentioned along with Tony Brown

[gt12]

I don’t see Razor being fired.

I appreciate the info from the sources here btw, keep it coming, however I’ll be shocked unless he has decided to walk away.

A new coaching group would be fascinating if they can pry away Brown from the springboks.

They would have to buy both out of their contracts if they wanted the job.

[george33]

@Chris don't no mate David Kirk just different beast anything possible.

He is an astute business man.

[george33]

@Chris another source had confirmed Razor is gone Chris you no contacts it must be happening.

[Chris]

Personally I wouldn’t mind a fresh approach with new coaches as I was very frustrated over selections lack of game plan, just not the same player selections.
I have heard Hanson is gone the Razor rumour are not being answered when I have asked now so it maybe true mate. People around the coaches are going quiet.

For January in NZ, rugby is suddenly red hot.

[Bovidae]

It would be a ruthless (and expensive) move by Kirk and co.

Yep paying out 3 coaches for 2 years.
Maybe paying out other countries to get coaches very expensive.
