@broughie said in Foster must go / Assistant Coach changes:
@gt12 I think Moody wrestled a little which may explain some of his propping abilities. Possible influence? Didn’t hear much on his teaching method. Cooking a steak but I like his response about why he wanted to coach the ABs. Bit of pride there.
Sam Tuitupou and Kees Meeuws were schoolboy wrestling champs when they were at Kelston. You could obviously see the influence wrestling had on their game.
Kelston were known for having a strong wrestling program and rugby players were often encouraged to take up wrestling.
@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....

@gt12 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.

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

Interesting that Razor praised a few assistant coaches from overseas in his interview. That is another aspect, a lot of teams (not ABs) bring in assistant coaches from overseas. Even SA have done so in the past. Maybe NZ rugby is too insular at the moment. Having a back's coach like Ronan O'Gara or Catt or a defense coach from the NH could make a difference. At least bring in fresh ideas.
