    @Bovidae No idea what your talking about

    Cheika has said numerous times, including during the RWC, that he doesn't spend any time analysing the opposition teams.

    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.

      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.

      Based on?

      Tahs - super rugby.
      Wallabies - world cup final
      Leinster - heineken cup, pro 14

      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...

                  Hopefully an interview will come out with Rennie and he may answer the question.
                  Perhaps he wants the lower pressure job of building Aus up and I'm sure it pays well. Seems like a good challenge to me.
                  My preference all along is Robertson, but if they choose Foster I think we are screwed, our attack is basically just try and score off turnover ball and that's about it. We finally showed a backline move against Ireland and it looked great, buts all I can remember in all the years he has been the attack coach.

                  "“I’m a proud Kiwi but the big thing is I’ve been talking to Australia for a lot of months and the All Blacks interest came in late in the piece and by that stage, we’d done a lot of homework, we were really excited about the opportunity to go to Australia and that ended up being an easy decision,” Rennie told rugby.com.au."

                  Guess NZRU is just dropping the ball here. Why wait till the last min to approach coaches, this should have been done age ago.

                    @Darren I'm not sure that Aus job would be lower pressure - there's some good talent there from a limited pool which is what he thrives at - but if he can't get them to perform then he'll be set upon by the fans I'd say and most likely thrown under the bus.

                    NZRU Agent strikes again.

                        @Darren I would say he continued going for the Job with the much greater odds of actually getting it , and I would imagine he is being rewarded financially for that as well

                          I think my preferred option now is Robertson with joe Schmidt as assistant.

                              I think my preferred option now is Robertson with joe Schmidt as assistant.

                              Best case scenario now. Scott Robertson and a wise, older mentor figure, ideally Wayne Smith or Joe Schmidt. I'd even take Robertson with Robbie Deans over Foster and anyone.

                                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.

                                Why is that? Based on who is left the best candidate as forwards coach would be Cotter but is he available? I would have no problem with Cooper in charge of the forwards based on his previous body of work with the Crusaders and Maori.

                                  I know Tony Brown said he would stay with JJ, but he would be excellent with Razor.

                                  Pretty amazing arrogance by NZR not to have identified say top 5 potential coaches 2 years ago and started to wine and dine them. Let them know the process, that they are genuine contenders.

                                    @Machpants but 2 years ago, Foster would likely have been the only option? Plus, under Tew, the contracting would likely have seen him sign 4 years with option to extend to 2023?

                                    I think it would have been best for all, had Hansen followed Richie, Dan, Conrad, Maa, Mealamu et al in 2015...but hindsight and all

                                    Yeah that's what I said. Hand over to Foster, he has 2 years in a team he is already part of to prove his worth. Then we'd be able to have a proper competition now. He'd have either proved himself and be almost unasailable - fine. Or crap and out.

                                      @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

                                      Bollocks Deans kept Ozzie at No2, was much more competitive against ABs. The only thing Cheika did better was 15 RWC, but that was with the team someone else had built up and he inspired. He's a grat inspriation coach but shit at actual innovation or coaching at international level. He brought in players that won him the Tahs and Leinster, you can't buy in international players the same way, he never got over that and was unable to really progress individuals or the team.

                                        Cheika has said numerous times, including during the RWC, that he doesn't spend any time analysing the opposition teams.

                                        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.

                                        No way. W played to England as any analysis would have pinted out. England, in their last 18 or so test matches, have scored in the first few minutes when they kick off - unless the opposition kicked it out. They lost all those games, that initial, it's like one big set piece from the kick back from the opposition sets the England team up for the rest of the game. Kick it out, break that flow, and your sorted

                                          Bloody odd , the lack of love for fozzie, not just here , across the board. To have so little support for the top contender is pretty strange

                                          With that level of unpopularity, he is a sitting duck if things go pear shaped.
