All Black Coach - Ian Foster

[Tim]

Next AB coach?

[Duluth]

Joseph or Gatland.. maybe Rennie

[Bovidae]

Just the one vote?

[Tim]

@Bovidae Balls on the line. Who do you want.

[MiketheSnow]

Joseph

[Victor Meldrew]

Great to see so many people voting for Krusty - Kiwi sense of humour rising to the loss.

[Bovidae]

@Tim I've been consistent on who I want. Rennie.

I'd take Joseph and Brown as well.

It won't be Gatland with his Lions commitments.

[sparky]

Garland ain't available because of his Lions contract.

I voted for Jamie Joseph. Needs new assistants too. I'd approach Scott Robertson, Tony Brown and Brad Thorn. Tough men to toughen the ABs up.

Dave Rennie did a great with the Chiefs, but hasn't been nearly as impressive at Glasgow.

Ah, I forgot about that. Good point.

[Higgins]

Shocked that Foster is currently running as high as 7th equal albeit on a technicality as he is tied with all those others yet to receive a single vote.

[rotated]

Rennie reminds me the most of Ted - has by far the most experience but still seems to have the magic touch. He probably can command the best backroom too?

[Victor Meldrew]

Think we need some fresh blood. Joseph & Razor for me.

Razor is a shrewd coach and Joseph certainly instills belief, passion and mongrel in a team. The latter seems to have fallen off in the 2-3 seasons.

[Nepia]

Rennie for me, taking over a failing Foster team and winning shit sounds familiar for some reason.

[Higgins]

Good to see the Hammerteur or Philpott are not available to vote for as that lessons the competition challenging Foster for last place.

[Marty]

I voted for Gatland but would be happy with Joseph or Rennie. But the elephant in the room for me is the player pool. I think that is the issue for NZ rugby. For example, who are the next three no 8's now KR is gone?

Different cattle but Glasgow made the Pro 14 final last year. After the M10 Cup final result it makes his success with Wellington even more impressive.

What Cooper did with the Chiefs this year was pretty impressive. Like to see him in the mix as well.

[SynicBast]

Draw a line under the Henry-Hansen era and start with a clean sheet - Joseph, Razor and Brown as a new iteration of the TWM.

[antipodean]

If the next coaching set up doesn't have Tony Brown, the NZR have lost the plot.

Gatland? No thanks. Haven’t you seen him singing the Welsh anthem. That’s un-New Zealand
