    @ACT-Crusader yeah I can see why he may be reluctant to take over if the opportunity presents itself in the very near future...

    RWC inside a year, from what I understand about Razor is alot of his success is built on his planning and those around him, which also may be key to any decision he makes.

    Then you gotta ask, let's say he gets his way, would people be able to handle if he bought O'Gara in?

        The All Blacks should be viewed by every aspiring coach around the world as a "must get this on my CV". We should be agnostic as long as they're the best.

          If they are paying him 3M the entire board should be fired immediately.

              He'll be an assistant. Besides, where we are now I just want to see us back to something resembling ourselves

                  I can't see how Roberston could take over, to be honest. Two weeks before going to the republic? His support team is non-existent. Who picks the squad which is named in a few days? Crusader's contract? Young family ready for the pressure? (His wife would have something to say after all the criticism of Foster). Wishful thinking it seems. BUT I will still wake up each morning this week, look at my phone, and hope the message is there.

                    I bet he got some nasty letters in the mail that took days to arrive.

                      What's Hammett up to? Holland is off contract isn't he? Boyd is back in the country too.

                        Oh god I’ve just realised that Gatland is still floating around.

                        If I was as evil as some other posters I could have started a thread titled “Gatland takes over”

                                1949 would be the 4 Test tour to Sth Africa. Tough ask to win there with Saffa refs in those days, so he's excused.

                                Vodanovich was awful and the start a decade of dumping coaches every year or so as we bumped along the bottom. Just pray we aren't in the start of a run like that.

                                      Oh god I’ve just realised that Gatland is still floating around.

                                      If I was as evil as some other posters I could have started a thread titled “Gatland takes over”

                                      Not trolling, but I'd have him in the AB setup in a heartbeat. He worked wonders with the Lions; mixed record with Wales but they were competitive with a limited set of players. He's got international experience, and would be a safe(ish) pair of hands.

                                      Honest question: Foster vs Gatland, who ya got?

                                        Which has the better Super Rugby coaching record?

                                          Erratic performance v. a whinging git, the agony of choice. Are the Warriors playing that night?
