Foster, Robertson, Rennie etc

@kiwimurph It's the pretence there's an actual process that irritates. No waiting to see if losing to Argentina is the highlight of his team's coaching capacity.

To be fair there's no real options, after such little rugby with covid interruptions it's hard to make a convincing case otherwise, though admittedly 2020 was a nightmare season.
Regardless if we look at the options Gatland crashed with the Lions, Rennie's wallbies are just as bad if not worse than their predecessors...his main opposition don't appear to be any better...
-
They should give Robertson the reigns of the All Blacks XV, let him pick all the young fringe ABs, and give them games the next two years. Many players in that squad will go on to become All Blacks and play the 2027 RWC.
That would make it a smooth transition.

I’m not surprised,
I didn’t think they would sack him which would make it look like they are the basket cases for appointing him then sacking him so soon after . And I can kind of get that , stability and all that .
But I still think they got it wrong in the first place .

not surprised
at least there is a chance the world will be back to normal for his replacement
the only thing worse would be someone 'better' coming in but all the covid shit ruins their tenure

The thing is, if we win the World Cup he will most likely be reinstated again. Ffs.

Yeah, it would really suck if we won the World Cup!

And I bet if they go on a record winning streak they will lengthen it even longer for crying out loud! No Brains that NZR

I can't see us winning the WC under the muppet clown show.

He'd retire job done IMO.
I don't see that bring Razor in now increases our RWC chances that much to be fair.
It isn't as if Foster and co are ignoring players that should be there and any poor periods have been attributed by the players themselves as down to not following instructions.
My belief is that, at present, our problems are mainly down to getting experience and test level combos established. Changing things up now won't help that.
The game itself is also n a funny place laws wise and we have to adapt ourselves to that. Just as SA found that trying to play a style that didn't suit them didn't work, the ABs trying to play a power game won't work either. -
To be fair there wasn't it reported an unnamed NZRU board member told a journo during the 2003 RWC that Mitchell was gone at the end of the tournament. When asked "But what if they win?" The reply was something to the effect of "I don't see that complicating things".
Could be apocraphyl.

@hooroo I didn't say it would suck winning the WC, I was eluding to the fact that if we win the World Cup we will have to endure another lengthy period of shit selections and underwhelming coaching if he carries on in the role.

I know. But it will all be the right choices made if he wins the WC, therefore deserving of extension.
Kind of like rewarding good results....

Thank goodness this has been sorted at last. The coaching team have worn a lot on their shoulders through extremely difficult times. Must be very hard selecting, testing and motivating when you think each match may be your last, instead of trying to build the strongest squad and combinations for the next 2 years or more.
It is great to see the team spirit flourishing, and bodes well. Well done NZRU in getting this sorted before the team departs.
