@Tim said in All Black Coach - Ian Foster:
"We need to figure out how to play teams physically when they play us physically. More and more teams are wanting to prevent us from playing."
Yes.
Jeez, that's some new wisdom right there. Next he'll tell us that forwards win games, you have to win the gain line, and the set piece is quite important.

What do you want him to say?

Well he had to say something other than the truth, which is you win the battle up front before you can spin it wide

I like that he was honest about it. That alone fills me with confidence that they're going to address it.

@voodoo It's one thing to think it, but quite another for the coach to publicly acknowledge a critical failing of the team.
It's basically the story of the RWC semi-final loss. If he tries to harden us up then I'm all for it. Bring back some smash mouth rugby

I opened that thinking it was going to be a big whine by Robertson. It was the opposite.
Kudos to him from getting strength from a tough interview.

I actually opened that thinking it would be the opposite ... the headline just seemed to sensationalist.

I think Henry has also said that he expects Razor to be the AB coach - just not this time round it seems. I reckon the harder Henry pushes the more he probably rates you. Possibly a hangover from his principal days.

I think Razor stands a better chance to be a strong long term ABs coach if he gets a little more seasoning. Maybe even an overseas gig too
You're never going to get anything tactical out of these conferences, just some generic babble speak. Not really sure why they bother at all
