Highlanders style when they were under these two was good. Direct and hard when needed but rapid when on a roll.
Don't forget JJ is renowned as a hard task master and demands toughnessThey kicked more than other teams too. Contestable kicks and backing the defence was a big part of that season.
Very different from the possession game Japan played. -
@Stargazer unless Robertson is head and JJ and Brown his assistants, that trio wont happen.
-
If JJ/Brown are offered the AB's coaching role I don't think any amount of money would keep them in Japan. They have both stated their desire to coach the AB's and they will be well remunerated anyway. Its actually also a great time to take over as we came 3rd in the WC, lost the RC and have stuttered in recent years. Whoever is the new coach has 4 years to build a team that will hopefully go all the way.

He was even harder than Eddie to the Japan squad, according to Leitch
If JJ is as tough as they say he is, and demands his players are fully committed to the cause, they you'd have to think that Akira Ioane's chances of forcing his way into the vacant no.8 jersey are low. Akira's poor workrate and relaxed attitude to training and personal fitness don't seem compatible with a Joseph coached All Black team.

Unsure how big a factor this will play. I hope Robinson can rise above this. The players in teams outside of Canterbury must feel they have a fair chance of making the ABs. This si unlikely to happen with Robertson

- Mike Anthony – ex Crusader and All Black S&C and long term friend of Mr Razor (btw he is part of the ex Crusader mafia quietly pulling the strings of NZ rugby now – with good reason of course.. )
- Graham Henry – well known admirer of Razor and his Authentic methods. I believe Ted Is one of Razors coaching mentors..
- Brent Impey – Incoming Chair of NZ Rugby- will go along with what the rugby experts on the panel say..
- Wai Taumaunu – ex NZ netballer and successful coach – connected with Razor through the strong NZ rugby and netball network. I won’t name names here… I don’t like horses heads in my bed…

Quite Happy to leave Razor to rebuild the Crusaders who ever gets the job has a hard job ahead.
It will make or break the coaching unit, its never easy after a WC failure( and not winning is always a failure in The ABs eyes)
The way we play the game over the next 4 years is going to be mighty interesting because whoever comes in better not wast 4 years with the wrong gameplays and selections.Would be interesting if the JJ/Brown model was to apply the speed approach they used with Japan along with a stronger set piece and defence (and higher player quality). It is very close to the Hansen/Foster design though. We just didn't execute it well
Where we go from here tactically will be an interesting watch for me.
We need a strong defensive game and use our kicking ability but I agree we need to play at pace to maximise our skill sets.
Fascinating 2020 coming up. -

Razor has no chance.Yeah, because becoming the ABs head coach is similar to being named New Zealand's Next Top Model.
Fuk how did Henry and Hansen get the job then

I think the whole process is for show. Given the way that the 'insiders' have been talking, Hansen, Wayne Smith, Beauden Barrett etc, I suspect that the NZR board decided years ago that Ian Foster was going to replace Steve Hansen. Had we won the RWC this would have been a much easier process for them, but given our spectacular loss to England NZR now needs to appear to be paying lip service to a proper recruitment process. The fact that they hilariously approached 26 candidates to apply is a testament to this. But disappointment in NZ over the semi final loss in Yokohama will soon die down, and just before Christmas, during the height of cricket season, NZR will quietly announce that Ian Foster will take over for the next four years. Probably 8 years, the way recent trends have gone. And he will be the least deserving or credentialed AB head coach in living memory.

These also still leave a bitter taste in the mouth https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/76685615/five-incidents-that-rocked-new-zealand-v-australia-one-day-cricket-matches don't even get me started on this one

Wouldn't even be the least credentialed AB head coach from those early 90s Waikato teams. I'm sure Foster would have a better backroom though.

This. A thousand times.
If we're talking cricket I still rate the Underarm as one of the the worst. I can can remember our whole family crowded round the telly shouting at it.
