Jesus Christ, what planet is he on?
“I know people are frustrated, and we’re frustrated with the results,” he added, “But you don’t achieve growth if you get too panicky and start making dramatic changes and put too much pressure on players. We want them to feel the pressure tonight, understand what it’s like playing test matches over here, and we’ve got to be sharper in what we do
No wonder the players love him, he's a useless fat soft teddy bear, all touchy feely, and no pressure

Those are quotes that should be made by coaches of Tonga or Romania, not the fucken All Blacks !!!

@chimoaus probably cost them >$6m to get rid of Foz and then buy O'Gara out of his contract
Foster has until 2023 RWC I think. So surely not a huge amount for him. Maybe for Foster and his assistants (Plumtree etc) and buying out O'Gara. But would O'Gara shift now he's a successful head coach? And would the NZRU be keen on doing this again especially with a foreign coach
O'Gara seems to have a tight relationship with Robertson but yes you would think long term he would want to be an international head coach.

O’Gara would have his sights on getting into the Emerald Green coaching mix I would have thought but maybe some AC role with another first

@Old-Samurai-Jack well you'd have to think if they dont kick him for touch before the EOYT, they wont?
Just my opinion.

Robinson wouldn't commit to Foster after Africa on radio the other day. Then the story came out that he will ask Foz to resign after Africa if ABs don't improve. Foster is gone.

We were up against a crowd who were so joyous and having fun. ABs were nervous, consigned to the fact they were going to be criticised. I don't care if they lose again this year. I want them to free up and have some fun

I thought the Bok crowd was fantastic! Great PR for the sport, I'd love to take part in that sort of atmosphere!
(That was one of only two good things for me, the other is that our fwds coach looks to be an improvement esp given he is working with arguably not the best props NZ could muster-where is the bring back Owen campaign?!)

"Five defeats in the last six tests is the statistic that will loom largest in many people's minds, as coach Ian Foster looks to cling to his job."
Are they counting the Irish match during which Foster was in isolation?! That was the best team performance of the year and Joe Schmidt was coaching with 24 hours of prep!

I was a big fan of the Muppet Show as a kid .. perhaps we'd appreciate Foster more if he said Waka Waka Waka after every "best performance this year" sentence?

All I’ll say about this is that Steinlager is a lovely drop on an EXTREMELY hot day when there’s no other beer alternatives.

@taniwharugby They need to update that with another LOSE.
@chimoaus yeah it was posted yesterday....

I imagine it is also fine for people with COVID in a dark room who have lost their sense of taste.
NZR need a better beer sponsor. We aren't going to win with such questionable taste! -

It's a seriously good beer. Joe Wood of Liberty famously serves it to guests who don't realise it isn't Craft
I really like the classic. -
All it needs now is Hansen to stick his nose in and say "Foster is a great coach".
