“Our focus now is to work with Ian and his team to understand thoroughly in advance of the Rugby Championship what is needed to improve performance and where to from here. We will begin this work immediately."
From that It seems we are stuck with Foster for the Rugby championship at least.
That's not how I read that at all. It sounds very much like an immediate and urgent performance review.
That's exactly what is required and it may end up with change or it may not (I think it will).
I know everyone would have been happy with some gallows being wheeled out in the stadium but I think Kieran Read was a sane voice in all the noise last night.
If Foster won't resign then NZR need to go through a fair process to remove him. They can't be seen to beginning with the outcome prior to the review taking place.
In other words. Whether they want to sack him or keep him they'd say the same thing.

Correct. And the press conference would have very much got in the way of that. He would have been bombarded with questions that he couldn't answer over and over.
Let the proper process take its course.
There's a brand here for the NZR to try and protect. Chucking Foster in front of the piranhas would have been very damaging.
Oh to be a fly on the wall at NZR HQ today. I'm guessing that Foster and co will have been given space to gather answers to questions raised and will be snuck in the back door tomorrow morning. -

I wonder if his contract is governed by NZ employment law? I assume so. He can't be fired if so. Better hope he walks or start a rigorous retraining process....

He's an independent contractor . Give the man some credit, if he is asked to go he is very unlikely to take them to court. His contract will have clauses around cancellation.

I don't know what is in his contract but I strongly suspect there would be some performance standards and ability to remove him if the standards aren't met. Probably written in vague terms, hence the review needed.
If not, they can simply sack him and pay out his contract. Be expensive but less expensive than continuing to destroy the brand.

The players are all contractors, I assume the rest of the staff are too. NZR only employ office staff as far as I know.

Unlikely given Robinson's statement of 'unacceptable' prior to a formal review.
My guess is that the contact termination wording is broad and talks about 'performance and other factors that may result in an agreed termination of contract' or even just the second part.

Utter cowardice that he wouldn’t face even our tame journos. This has been a twenty year tradition, another thing that Foster the fat fluffybunny has shat on

I cannot see a scenario of Foster staying but various assistants being given the boot because who in their right mind would want to work under Foster currently? You think they were short-staffed finding assistants last time, that'll be nothing compared to now.

I'm not spending $120 to watch the Argentinean test in Hamilton, the first time I won't be going to a local test when in NZ. My attendance was contingent on the performance in Wellington, so the ABs made that decision for me.

Just because he said that, it doesn't mean that it is true. "I don't know" might sound a bit better than "I have a urgent performance review to prepare for" or "I need to reconsider my future" or "I want to avoid the media to get my head straight"

That’s probably what DDL would say too. He’s always very committed to any role he takes on.
