    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.

      Just no Foster because it would be a continuation of what we have had for the past two seasons and everyone except the blindest of fans can see the obvious problems.

        Fozzie: "Brownie, you up for being my assistant?", Brown: "Sorry Fozzie, Jamie and I are having a crack."
        Fozzie: "Jamie, great job with Japan, I still think I'm the better coach so do you want to be my 2IC?", Joseph: "Fuck off Fozzie!"
        Fozzie: "Coops Bra, you want to be my 2IC?". Cooper: "Sorry Fozzie, King Country need a new head coach."
        Fozzie: "Razor, great job with the Crusaders, I think I need your dance skills", Razor " Fozzie, the backs were shit at the WC, I can do better and I am a forwards coach."
        Fozzie: "Hammet, our forwards got smashed, you are the man for the job", Hammet:"When do I start"

          As good as Hansen was, it's time for a change

            Someone should turn this thread into a poll. Choices?

            Fozzie
            JJ and T Brown
            Razor
            Gatland

            Anyone else?

                Fail by moi.

                I dont know how they would work, but a JJ Brown Razor triumvirate would be interesting

                  England's defence has been outstanding so far. Why not Mitchell as the next defence specialist to replace McLeod ?

                      I would take Joseph out of the realistic options.

                        Toss up between Robertson and Joseph for me.

                        JJ has a history of taking a team of no-names and making them play like champions.

                        Razor has a history of taking a talented team and getting the best out of them.

                        Given the talent available for the ABs I went for Razor.

                        Would like to see Razor, JJ and Brown together though, theyve been the standouts recently.

                        Rennie has a very strong claim as well.

                        Anything outside of those four would be ridiculous.

                          Good question cgrant. Look we’ve picked Joe McDonnell because he’s got explosive power. We’re on a journey to 2023.

                            Rumour circulating in NZ media circles that Robertson is the favoured candidate.

                              Knowing the panel who will interview and make the recommendation to the board would be a start. Tew was on Devlin saying it has been appointed and will be announced after Friday.

                              Interestingly he also said all the high performance NZ coaches both at home and overseas are aware of the process. Not that he seems to be a chance but Tew was coy about Gatland and to it sounded as though Gatland may have an out clause of his Lions contract for the top job.

                                  Whoever it is their first objective should be to transform the All Black pack into the most fearsome set of Forwards in World Rugby.

                                      There’s probably a middle ground between the Boks and the ABs forward packs - it would probably look something like the English pack.

                                        My comment was tongue-in-cheek.
                                        The Welsh pack was actually heavier than the Boks. 915kg v 900kg.
                                        I can't swear to it, but I seem to think the AB pack also outweighs us.

                                        What works for us is the mongrel. It's why RG Snyman will have a much longer Bok career than Mostert.
                                        But that is our DNA.
                                        You have to find what works for you.

                                        EDIT: and to a large degree I think you have. And for a long time. Don't baby-and-bathwater after one loss 😉

                                          Stuff says new coach will be chosen before Christmas. Gatland ruled out due to his Lions commitments
