Yep, we'll probably have to wait until the Quarter Final exit before anyone in the NZRU admits making a mistake.

There is going to be a lot of pain.

No admission. Just thanks to Fozz for dedicated service. What a dumpster fire

@Duluth said in Foster must go:
The realistic option is Schmidt
He starts his AB contract right now. So no other logistics needed.
Does he want a head coach role though?
@Duluth I know you can't answer that but I'm not convinced he wants a head coach role, so we are either stuck with Foster or we go to Razor with Schmidt taking the reigns short term. I'd love for Schimidt to take over for what it's worth.

Sorry - but I've noticed it a couple of times now...

@canefan
They have the best of both worlds, treat the ABs purely as a business enterprise except your biggest customers will keep buying the product no matter how shite it gets. I support a boycott except I know it won't happen and half of you will think I am being melodramatic or disloyal. What's the point in supporting something if the fans have zero input? -

@Victor-Meldrew said in Foster must go:
Would meet the (understandable) NZR requirement of continuity while being a pretty fresh broom with a proven track record at Test level.
Before 2007 we had a slash and burn mentality. Continuity was the right decision then. But this isn't 2007, the GH/Shag coaching tree has outlived its time. Burn it all down

Foster was the only part of the GH/Shag coaching tree that still existed at the end of 2019 as far as I can see. Arguably the tree is sprouting again with Cron coming back in as a mentor.
But its less about the tree and more about cutting off the dead wood. At the end of 2019 the old wood sprouted legs and walked away leaving the NZRFU with the dead wood. Which they planted and have reaped the fruit of their decision.

I think if we lose the two tests in SA, which is highly likely, nothing will change. However a loss of the bled might be enough, as that would mean losing both to Oz including Eden park. I think if we keep the bled we're stuck with fidget until RWC, even if he loses every test in the lead up until then

Fair enough. When I've been drinking, I get sensitive about the English language and the fucking DIS-RISPUKT shown by goddamn imbeciles and so-called "smart keyboards"/"auto-checkers".
If I ever end up working in Silicon-Valley, and meet some fluffy-bunny who works for "Grammarly" - I'll be cutting a fluffybunny. -
So it's been brought up on the roar, there's a presser tomorrow 9 am, is that standard? I think it is but please tell me it's not

Will we lose to SA? I mean they just lost to Wales at home so it sounds like they aren't exactly hot shit this year, not that I've watched. And if we win that's more than enough for NZR to claim we are "building towards the RWC", which is so offensive as an AB fan when we are giving up 100+ year records.

@Tim said in Foster must go:
@Victor-Meldrew Do you think he wants to be a head coach? He'd be my pick if he does.
I haven't a clue. But who wouldn't want to coach the All Blacks and not just be a mentor? Persuade him to take over until RWC2023 for starters
He'd be a safe pair of hands and then be able hand over to Rennie, Jesus, Joseph or another assistant.

Like the thought of Jesus being an assistant
