    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.

      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

            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, but I'd quite like him to bring on Gatland and Foster as technical advisors for a year or two. Brown or Rennie assistant, then bring in Razor when Gatland and Foster are gone as other assistant.

                    Oh, and Joseph for head coach. He gets to pick assistants.

                          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 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.

                                      Wayne Grey on the NZ Herald site is doing a live chat. He thinks Foster is highly regarded by the NZRU and has the inside running to be the next coach.

                                        Totally agree with this point. Time to be polite but not nice again.

                                        I'd love to see Sean Fitzpatrick involved as a selector or in management of the ABs setup, but he is too involved with UK TV and Lareaus.

                                          I'd go with Robertson as head coach with experienced assistants (Brown for the backs and Mitchell for the defence and the forwards).
