    I would 100% genuinely take Chieka over Foster.

    Eh? What in the world is that based on? It being proven Cheika is a terrible coach?

    Chiefs fans don't forget the Foster years.

    Chieka isn't a bad coach. Not sure he's a great manager tho.

        Pretty easy to see why other coaches rule themselves out and take other jobs. Get paid a shit tonne more and get maximum respect / kudos for a series of results which would have you down as the worst All Blacks coach ever.

        Gatland 56% win rate with Wales
        Schmidt 72% win rate with Ireland
        Rennie - ?
        Joseph - ?

        Not a tough decision!

                After today’s news, it’s a two horse race and depends to me entirely on who the assistants are - what’s our speculation about who they might be?

                Foster will have McLeod and ?

                Robertson ? And ?

                Let’s say either has Wayne Smith, then step forward please. That would sway it for me. Also, if either now had Tony Brown (yet to be contracted at Japan and could be a wildcard, although a flipflopper if that happened).

                I’d also be impressed if Razor can bring back O’Gara.

                What are the thoughts?

                    Quite possibly.

                    I think there is a shit ton of politics to deal with in the Wallabies camp as well. Hence a good coach, won't necessarily make a good Wallabies coach.

                    Lots of people (well, Cantabs) thought Deans was a coaching god, but his record with Oz not that diff to Chiek

                        I wouldn't be surprised if Foster has approached Colin Cooper. They were co-coaches of the JABs and Cooper is an old-school forwards coach.

                              Right. Well, if thats his method, thats his method.

                              I'd say that in the RWC semi final, we'd spent too long analysing the opposition team.

                                That's ignoring an immense amount of luck in the 2015 RWC and the work of previous coaches like Declan Kidney and Chris Hickey. What transformed the Tahs was a South African flanker and a bit of luck in the final.

                                  After today’s news, it’s a two horse race and depends to me entirely on who the assistants are - what’s our speculation about who they might be?

                                  Foster will have McLeod and ?

                                  I wouldn't be surprised if Foster has approached Colin Cooper. They were co-coaches of the JABs and Cooper is an old-school forwards coach.

                                    @MajorRage good coach for a couple of years and then downhill?

                                    Quite possibly.

                                    I think there is a shit ton of politics to deal with in the Wallabies camp as well. Hence a good coach, won't necessarily make a good Wallabies coach.

                                    Lots of people (well, Cantabs) thought Deans was a coaching god, but his record with Oz not that diff to Chiek

                                    Deans had around 56% win rate with the Wallabies compared to Cheika 52% not a lot of between them and you go back along way to find a better win ratio for The Wallabies...
