All Blacks - New Coach Selection

Seems like he felt “job done” at the Blues and was likely to leave after this season anyway .
Adds credence to the idea that Razor performed badly during the review and that's what cost him his job, the move was clearly not premeditated because a bunch of coaches have been caught out

@Tim Must have been in the timeframe when Razor knew but everyone else didn’t. Would be a logical move - just get over and live on the Gold Coast. Napier also said he was paid out at least a year.
And maybe place him in the mix for future Wallabies coaching role/s?

That seems like such a short window though? Allegedly the meeting was on the Monday and it was announced on the Thursday I thought?

Just shitty timing. But what the fuck was he doing leaving for the Reds anyway? After winning SR with the Blues his job must have been secure?
could be as simple as better pay and get to live in queensland...and maybe leave on a resent high

Gregor Paul...pay walled

Now that New Zealand Rugby has clarified the criteria and process for recruiting a new All Blacks head coach, and two promising candidates have already ruled themselves out, the question is not whether a choice has to be made between Jamie Joseph and Dave Rennie, but whether both

Interesting suggestion of Stephen Larkham as an assistant coach for the ABs in here.

He's done a pretty good job at the Brumbies IMO.

A team packed with superstars whose only sure thing is the canes in Canberra. I'm far from convinced. Something about him screams no for me.... and I'm sure NZR will take that into account.

I'd say there's almost zero chance Larkham will ever be an assistant coach here.

@Bones they dont seem too fussed on your views on Jordan.
Ever seen NZR sack a coach halfway through his contract?

He hasn't been mentioned much but I think it's a great shout.
Reckon that's just Watson picking a name at random to sound like he's "thinking".

I think he's too Australian unfortunately. In that I mean I can't envisage him wanting to ensure that the Wallabies continue to not have the Bledisloe.
I do like the way his teams attack - he'd be a good assistant for backs/ attack coach.

Basically saying a Rennie/Joseph/Foster Cartel would be awesome and similar to the Ted/Shag/Smith trio. Wonders if JJ & Rennie could work together. but points out Foster and JJ get on well and Joseph almost joined Foster in 2019.
Sounds like a pipe-dream, but who knows?

If they could put aside egos, it would be a great combination to get at least two of them. Three would be magic.
