Where is the New Zealand team from the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship?
Wasn't that the one where we didn't even make the play-offs?
I blame Foster (or Deans).

THe assistants havent been re-appointed yet have they?
The review should be finished by February I heard.
Hopefully it leads to one of Jason O'Halloran or Nick Evans replacing Brad Mooar with our attack and then someone such as Clarke Dermody or Jono Gibbes taking over from John Plumtree with the forwards. Ideally, Scott McLeod needs to go as well, much too passive defense. John Plumtree's a mediocre forwards coach, however, he's always been an excellent defense coach. Should've been his position from the very beginning.
So basically everyone needs to go apart from the head coach?
Foster's contract has already been extended, the others haven't.

Not sure how that works if the coach selects his own assistants actually. I know they do as Razor approached Tony Brown to stand as his assistant, but he declined. So as I say I not sure if the coach says this is who I want, or this is who I will have!

It's like the AB-France QF in 2007. Didn't happen.

Nope. And Foster didn't coach the U20 side in 2016.
(Hint: Only one statement is correct)

You tend to think the sun shines out of Foster... so what has he actually added to the team of any value then ?
When have I ever said that ,
Read my posts I have smashed Foster for 2 years .
I have been one of his biggest critics.So more crap from you yet again.

My fault on that one... have been pretty knackered over the last couple of weeks working through to about 10pm most nights or longer signwriting & doing airbrush custom car work, so I'll take that on the chin, fair enough.
It amazes me though how some here hardly ever question this current coaching staff - anyone that knows their rugby properly can see where we are going wrong & can also see what adjustments need to be made to fix it.
We all know if your forwards get on top of the other sides forwards you basically control the whole game, we were shocking in the forwards against Ireland & France, especially in our poor execution of taking the ball up through the phases, whereas the other two teams forward packs did the hard yakka in that very crucial area of the game, so we spent most of our time on the back foot... even though our backs were getting a shite platform from the blokes up front it's mainly on our 9 & 10 to read the game well showing good decision making & execute accurately. -

This whole forum criticises the current set up. Maybe one or two have slightly defended him but not really. Your comment makes no sense in this environment.
Even the Waikato and Chiefs supporters are saying he shouldn't be there.
This isn't Cantabs defending the Deans dross, this is a united front against Foster for the most.

anyone backing fozzie would very much be in the minority
Those like @kiwi_expat are only focusing on the assistants as fozzie's contract has already been extended and the assistants are currently being reviewed
Theyre not going to sack fozzie until he's at least played more games

TBF, I haven't seen that. There's obvious disagreements on the root causes of the current problems and what should be done but I haven't seen anyone say everything is OK in the garden.

Of course all the the members are not happy with the current coaching set up fellas, that's a given, otherwise they may as well be on a knitting forum :grinning_face: ...I'm saying would like to see more analysing in depth about it.

You need to reword your statements to something we understand.
"It amazes me though how some here hardly ever question this current coaching staff - anyone that knows their rugby properly can see where we are going wrong & can also see what adjustments need to be made to fix it."
That doesn't equal what you have just post.

And me. And Chris. And quite a few others..
While many have pointed out the shit performances, quite a few also noted our glaring weaknesses are being more and more effectively exploited by other teams and the coaches don't know how to stem the bleeding. (IMHO). -

Actually I see some logic here:
People who know their rugby properly should see where things going wrong and how to fix them.
If the poster is arrogant in thinking they are one of these proper rugby experts, I can find you a forum full of similar self-justified opinions. Here. -

Changing the assistants, and bringing in an international coach, does suggest to me some in NZ rugby have similar misgivings. Or are all these changes the product of an agile, resourceful, Ian Foster mind? -

Yeah I think he has good friends at the top.

this will be taken incorrectly by some but
I have seen many instances in other sports where head coaches are dead men walking, blokes thought ot not have a fucking clue, and the popular opinion was they needed to be sacked. They changed all the assistants and lo, there was a huge turn around in results.
One for a couple of guys on here is Damien Hardwick Richmond were trapped at 9th, they were going nowhere, and everyone thought the coach should get fired. Richmond kept him, but got rid of heaps of others. What, 5 years later he's regarded as basically the best coach in the league, with Richmond being the best side over that time, winning a bunch of flags.
