@nzzp shades of Perth...
if they pick themselves up off the floor again, as they did post-Perth, then a few reps will be refurbished.
It shouldn't though, as this game isn't against England. Last week wasn't game one of a series to find the best team in the World. Smashing Wales (if that happens) doesn't make up for last week's embarrassment. They should all continue to wear that - if 'learnings' happen, neat, but that pay off comes next time we play England and any other team in a game that has meaning for both teams.
I hope we start playing England a lot more regularly. It's a travesty that the strongest NH union barely ever plays the strongest SH union.

Yeah if only there were some sort of round robin yearly competition....

Ild like to see Joseph and Brown with Mcleod as Defence. for me, Joseph and Brown are ready to take the ABs into the next phase of their evolution. Robertson is just a clone of the current system who is not as inventive as I believe is needed for the new coach. The world has caught up and if we do not get a coach who can mold and take the ABs into a new era we could be playing catch-up for a while.

I'd be pleased if Cotter applied. Anyone heard any indications of his willingness?
welcome back Cotter and not the dodgy 70's version
no bias here from a Bay perspective

I'm assuming you mean when we won the shield under vern?
-
@gt12 I realise that.
I mean after being belted last week they have rung changes and should have refocused.
Yeah, sorry, that’s just my frustration coming out there.

Rennie with Wayne Smith and Tony Brown is a bit of dream team for me. The problem is we don’t have a world class defensive coach available - I doubt that Smith would take it.
And, to the best of my knowledge Robertson is not a defensive specialist; nor Joseph, plus I assume that both would only be keen on a head coaching role.
So, could we go outside to get a D specialist or reinvest in McLeod and try to get a coach for him (e.g., Wayne Smith)?
Our defense was a fucking mess last week so I’m tempted to boot him, despite Stormy being one of my all time favorite players.
Apart from Farrell, who we can’t get anyway, who else would be a defensive specialist we could bring in?
I’d also be tempted to get a better kicking/skills coach again - I feel like our kicking has gone downhill since we lost Mick.
For the scrum, IFIIK. what are the fern’s thoughts?

@Tim said in [Poll] Next All Black Coach:
@nzzp They made the gainline at will because our defense was passive.
Don't disagree - but it wasn't as rubbish as our attack or our forwards. Facts are we thought they'd get around twenty points and they did. Based on our attack the week before, I thought we'd get to high twenties/low thirties but actually we just sucked.
Main problem was the breakdown. 18 turnovers and 11 penalties.
-
the thing that really sucks is we have another 8 months for our next game, that's two thirds of a whole year. And god knows how long it will be before we play England again
-
I went for Joseph and I hope that means we would get Brown as well.
On a side note. I was shocked to see how many people were calling for Foster takeover, in my news feed today. All people I thought knew something about rugby too.:face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Next AB coach?
Just went back and looked at your list and realistically (with the exception of the obvious attempt at humour) there's no-one I'd reject completely.
And that includes Fozzie.
There is a few I'd prefer without much objection at all (Robertson, Joseph, Gatland, Rennie) , and there's a few that I have reservations about (Foster, Schmidt, Brown, Cotter, even Jones).
But whoever gets it I want a to feel refreshed and renewed.

Someone at the Herald has a sense of humour.
