All Black Coach - Ian Foster
-
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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

Dear Sirs and Madams,
Don't even think about making Ian Foster the next All Blacks coach.
Yours faithfully,

PS - while you are at it Whereabouts is that ridiculous 1996 Tri Nations trophy kept? It deserves to be seen in public again.
-
Us. All of us here, the rest of them are useless pricks that lose all of the time.
Oh, and Joseph for head coach. He gets to pick assistants.

We should think of constructive things to say...

@sparky Jesus Christ is this real?
Yep, the makers of the trophy mixed up inches with cms and produced a super-sized trophy.
It's last known whereabouts were in the NZ Rugby Museum in Palmerston North:

Who ever it is needs to get Robertson out of the Crusaders and Blackadder back in. At least Blackadder was able to manage his All Blacks to cruise through Super rugby without giving two Fu&&$. Robertson has them giving everything and it's impacting on the ABs

Joseph for me. Next Robertson. Next Rennie.
And Tony Brown in the mix.
When you consider the highlanders then the brave blossoms, Joseph looks a great coach.

Joseph agree. But he needs Brown as an assistant. They are a great combination. Maybe Plumtree as well but definitely not as head coach. We would end up with a 1.90m lock and lots of plodders in the team.
-
Joseph for me with Brown and maybe Garland too.
Brown for the Wayne Smith style backline, Garland for the oppressive defence and Joseph can coach journeymen in Highlander and Japan teams to play above themselves. What would he do with more talented players?
Time for a nastier AB team.
