    God, I'd forgotten Vodanovich. Made Foster look like a genius.

      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.

        Who is Alex McDonald ?

        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.

          Go Canes!

            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”

              I'd love to get rid of Holland. But not at the expense of the ABs

                She would also have friends whose husbands are constantly bickering at their wives to find out from Robertson's wife why the fuck he isn't coaching the ABs. Right?

                    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.

                                Boyd and Schmidt with Coventry and ? could be an interesting proposition.

                                Where is O’Halloran?

                                As an attack coach even our friend from the Canes might work.

                                  Super and Tests are not the same game.

                                  Who's got a better international record? (actually, that's a bloody goo dquestion - is Gatland's win percentage against T1 better than Foster's?)

                                  Frankly, I think Gatland is a much better coach than Foster. for one, he can coach rush defence - something no one in NZ seems to do consistently.

                                    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?

                                    Super and Tests are not the same game.

                                    Who's got a better international record? (actually, that's a bloody goo dquestion - is Gatland's win percentage against T1 better than Foster's?)

                                    Frankly, I think Gatland is a much better coach than Foster. for one, he can coach rush defence - something no one in NZ seems to do consistently.

                                      he coached a scratch team to be super competitive with the ABs. That's impressive. He's clearly a good coach ... I don't get the animosity against him. Well, except for the Chiefs supporters 😛 But even then, good coaches can have bad years.
