    Dear Sirs and Madams,

    Don't even think about making Ian Foster the next All Blacks coach.

    Yours faithfully,

      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.

              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.

                    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.

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

                                      Too unproven and we need to step away from a Crusaders bias.

                                        I voted for Joseph.

                                        Would prefer Rennie, but did not vote for him because Australian media are insistent that Rennie is the next Australian coach, with back room staff already informed of it.

                                        I would prefer a total reset with Foster and McLeod not involved.
