All Black Coach - Ian Foster
-
I'd be pretty sure expat coaches like Cotter, Haig, Crowley, maybe Penney etc are in that list of 26. But at 26 names, you start to wonder if Hammett and Gibson are there too!
-
I'd think anyone who's coached Super rugby in recent times - as well as various international coaches....
Ian Foster
Warren Gatland
Joe Schmidt
Wayne Smith
Dave Rennie
Jamie Joseph
Vern Cotter
Leon MacDonald
Tana Umaga
John Kirwan
Pat Lam
Colin Cooper
John Plumtree
Chris Boyd
Mark Hammett
Razor Robertson
Todd Blackadder
Robbie Deans
Aaron Mauger
Tony Brown

Milton Haig
Steve Jackson
Wayne Pivac
Darryl Gibson
Brad Thorn
Jono Gibbes
Simon MannixIs that 28?
Edit: John Mitchell
Kieran Crowley
Rob Penney -
Don't think John Mitchell has been approached. The job ad specifically says the NZRU are looking for the best and not a journeyman.
-
so is that coaching panel appointed to ensure Fozzie doesnt just walk it, or just appear that way if he gets the gig?
At this rate, they wont be done by Xmas!!

@Machpants Yeah, without doubt some will flag it, or be contractually bound elsewhere - and some might put up their hands for assistant positions.
I reckon if you started trawling through the staff in those European clubs it might throw up quite a few interesting specialist coaches that most casual NZ fans would have forgotten about.

@Chris-B Surprised you missed Andrew Goodman and Shane Christie from your list of potential coaches! Luckily you seem to have done us all a favour by also not including NZ Under 20s Head Coach Mr. Craig Philpott.
They're the team for 2023.
There's a somewhat common theme to my preferred coaching team posted earlier - but, only if you're paying attention!
Jamie Joseph
Leon MacDonald
Clarke Dermody
Kieran Keane
Ceri Evans -
@Chris-B Jason O'Halloran is one that was promising before he left, worked with Rennie before too?
-
Yeah - be interested to see what sort of list we can collectively compile.
Conrad Smith is with Pau.
Nick Evans at Harlequins.
Bruce Reihana at Bristol. -

@nzzp With two disallowed tries. Our defence was weak as shit in that game.
Tackle completion was fine, and not sure Poms missed any tries they should have scored.
Problem was that we let them run to us, which meant they were usually making yards. In comparison, Boks moved forward five yards, so even if the big units made a couple in tackle they still didn't get over gain line. -

One was a massive obstruction the other was lucky to get ruled out.
That said, we didnt' lose that mainly because of our defence. We got smashed up front, and couldn't make any yards with the ball. It was horrific.
Retallick forced the turnover at the maul where Poms lost the ball, even if we were lucky TMO on ball.
