Foster, Robertson etc

Since I normally don't listen to things like the mounga interview, I didn't realise exactly what he said, but it came up in another article, and I thought it was quite interesting. Mounga basically says foster is a good assistant coach

I think now he’ll have a more hands-on role with with the backs and with attack.

“I’ve had that taste early on in my All Blacks career (when Foster was an assistant) and I was able to gain so much knowledge and had ‘wow’ moments out in the field when he was coaching.

“It’s good to see that happen again the last couple of days.””

I think it has been conclusively proven that he's a fucking failure as head coach

@Dice I cant recall who it was (my grey memory says Craig Dowd or John Timu) did some Ballet training saying it was excellent for stability, strength and balance.

As an aside, a number of NBA players back in the day did ballet training to help with footwork and balance.

Leon will come in soon . Then razor as an assistant once he gets over his knee surgery and joe Schmidt will be head coach. Then Joe Schmidt will step away and Razor will be head coach.

@taniwharugby couple of AB's, a few Harbour players and a host of Olympians used to be in my Pilates class. All us elite athletes together....

@chchfanatic Is that your prediction or have you heard more?

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat so you were the failure of the class, or you just prefer the anonymity of TSF to hide your fame?

Dreams are free, paying out fat foster is not, sadly

@Machpants would you like to put a wager on it. You name the price.

Give me a timescale, is this pre RWC 23?

@Dice I wrestled in my youth and it is a fantastic sport. Six minutes in a wrestling match is pretty close to 2000 m in a rowing boat. You’re totally spent at the end.

if @chchfanatic is that confident he is probably right.He has a source, Some things he has told me have been dead right.

Wrestling would be a fantastic training tool for rugby players. It’s more than just strength. It’s balance and knowing how to use your strength.

Not wrestling, but the teams sometimes do work with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms for the same reason. The Blues and Crusaders were the first I remember hearing about doing that.. maybe 15 years ago

@Machpants I dont know exact timeframe. How long does a new knee take to settle down. I’d say after the eoyt for changes and then Schmidt steps down after World Cup.

I was coming in to post my speculation that he would be brought in as an assistant or selector on the quid pro quo that he advances to the top job following next year's WC.

@taniwharugby I told the owner of the Studio that she should use me and Terenzo Bozzone in her point of sale

as a Before and After scenario. No prizes for guessing which I was
