@Chris-B Rennie the Roo?
Yes! That's it and I bet you see that headline on Stuff or NZHerald as they are usually unable to think for themselves
-
Gee if Aussie do get Rennie, I can see the headlines now...
NZR in turmoil, 2 top coaching candidates turn back on AB job....
-
Fox certainly sounding confident they've got the inside scoop!
@Chris-B
And now Dave Rennie is dead to me.
I don’t see how any kiwi can coach Oz against the All Blacks - I’ll bet that the number 1 KPI is getting and holding the Bled, which means it’s the only job in the world where you are evaluated primarily on beating the one team you supposedly support and want to coach one day.
I can’t see how it ever leads to an AB coaching gig either, so it’s just joining the international ranks.
I’m going to be so fucked off if this is true**
** I’m happy to admit my hypocrisy in not really having another team (although probably England and SA - although I doubt SA would appoint a kiwi as head coach) that I would be so worked up about.
-
I wonder if NZR, or one of the remaining candidates are going to try to twist Joe Schmidt's arm.

Wasn't there a rumour that Schmidt could be part of Foster's "dream team"?
Schmidt might prefer to take a step back and be an assistant coach.

One hopes that there are some big players in support of either candidate because what we are seeing right now is people choosing security ahead of ambition.
If the remainers aren’t that much chop, it seems that the NZ rugby appointment process takes too long and should have been moved through more quickly.
-
I wonder if the real play here is lining up Gatland? Foster gets a two year contract but is really just an interim until Gatland comes in to install his rush defence.

Would be a pretty stupendous error to say the announcement is being made today and to have the whole thing wrong.

I can't see how given Foster's role would be more akin to Hansen; management and general direction. That would be asking Schmidt to be a specialist coach which would require a considerable time commitment.

@Chris Really? Foster is still in the race and he got a head start.
Yep I think we are heading for a fresh start
Change of CEO next change of Coach
With a different approach no baggage from the WC. -
HUge move by Rennie, more so when he knew the AB job was coming up, unless he thinks it is a done deal with Fozzie too!
