    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.

      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".

                @Billy-Tell well Hansen has already, not sure if he will stick his oar in again...Henry is surely regretting his decision now?

                Surprised the media havent gone for comment from him TBH...

                  This is what happens when you don’t take objective things like onfield success and choose foster based on an interview.

                  The way things are going the Eden park hoodoo and the bledisloe are up for grabs.

                  I see foster saying it’s the best we played all year. Sums it all up really.

                          If (when) foster goes I would let the new coach start on the NH tour.

                          I’d go interim coach or even player/coach. Such a mess.

                                  That’s very speculative and there’s no evidence that is happening. I’m sure he has an agent or someone that is looking out for his interests, like many others do, but I think there is a fair amount of jumping at shadows. Perhaps one for the conspiracy theory thread…

                                      He’d be on a hiding to nothing. As a minimum he would need to be allowed to reselect a squad. He seems to be a good coach (untested at international level) but he needs time. I mean let’s say he takes over and we keep losing. Then what?

                                        Razor to be in charge surely when the ABs play Argentina in Christchurch on August 27th?

                                        He’d be on a hiding to nothing. As a minimum he would need to be allowed to reselect a squad. He seems to be a good coach (untested at international level) but he needs time. I mean let’s say he takes over and we keep losing. Then what?

                                        Well we are currently 5th. I'm not sure how much more we can plummet.

                                          Lose to argies and we will go lower. The only team is still be confident against is Italy. Any if the other 4N and 6N sides I’d not bet my house.
