buggered if I know who Dan 543 or Dan54-35 is Boo, only know who I am, and it's hard enough being me without trying to be anyone else. My Nic comes from my name and year born, so whoever else does it different.

I'm inclined to believe NZR didn't approach Robertson before coming up with the XV concept.

Well according to one version of that report he was offered it when NZR resigned Razor. Perhaps Baabaas job worth more money? Mind you it could be speculation about Razor as there no official staement.
-
I am not sure If Razor's knee replacement surgery would take him out of contention to coach this side.About 3 months recovery time, so it might not have any impact on him coaching.

@Mackerzzzz I wonder whether MSR's criminal conviction will play a role? Will he be able to enter all countries?
-
I'd pick Fabian Holland. He has such great physical attributes and steps up so well to each level.

@Stargazer said in All Blacks XV:
I would hope that whoever coaches side recognises it's about improving depth at a national level and working alongside the All Blacks team. Any other reaction from a potential coach would be petty, short sighted and IMO disqualifying from the top job
Yep, what I said and meant doesn't contradict that. There needs to be coordination, cooperation and discussion between the two coaching groups. But that doesn't mean that the ABs coaches should take the decisions for this team as regards the selection of the (entire) team or how the team plays (game plan).
Of course the AB selectors should be picking this team too.
I disagree with that. Obviously, the two head coaches would discuss selections, coordinate fringe ABs getting game time for the ABs XV, but otherwise the coach of this team should be able to pick the players himself. The ABs coaches could decide what important skills they'd want to develop in players and - in a general way - what kind of game strategies they'd want to develop (for example, to counter a rush defence), but it should be up to the coach of this team of how this should be implemented for this team and how that translates into a game plan. On a meta level, sure, the ABs coaches decide what they want, but at a team level, they should leave it to the coach of this team.
If Robertson is tapped I'm sure he would do fine and be a team player
Again, what I said and meant doesn't contradict this.
@Stargazer said in All Blacks XV:

No. The AB selectors should get to pick this team. But assume this thread has moved past this argument now.

@Kirwan said in All Blacks XV:
Haven’t they missed a trick not calling this team the Shadow All Blacks?
They could have called it the Shades. Or the Black Shadows.

At least they'll get to see what Robertson can do with a team with a short turnaround
