I should qualify that post (lol a ban offence around here!) that I really like and rate Schmidt. But I want Razor in charge with Schmidt working with him on selection and driving development and scouting. If any changes come with a clear transition plan to Razor post 2023 and he's cool with that then I could handle that jandal. Just!

Schmidt as NZ DoR makes sense. It is NZ based and it allows him to use his attention to detail to put in place a long term strategy to identify talent and develop players and coaches fit for the test arena. It is a long term job, but it fits in with his strengths and removes any need for him to travel.

Considering his history I'd unkindly suggest they've achieved in spite of him.

Hehe. I know. In 2021 he nearly walked because of the Women's rugby debacle, but you can't deny he has been in place for a number of years and the Irish setup is now humming. He is the most powerful man in Irish rugby in reality because he is responsible for all High performance across all age groups and both sexes.

Why was the Will Foster go thread merged with the Fozzie out thread?
They're 2 different questions.

Yes, true. But...
I guess because the "discussions" in each are exactly the same, and it's getting kinda boring reading the same shit again and again in half-a-dozen different threads.
Edit: Perhaps the new merged thread should be named "Foster?" -

The two threads merged were “Will Foster go” & “Foster must go”
It was redundant. People were saying the same thing in both threads and even cross referencing posts

Has been a total success in Ireland. Ireland should be the envy of the NZRU. They have really got their shît together. Although munster is somewhat faded these days.

Whoever takes over from Foster now has a hell of a job ahead of them as the players confidence looks shot.

I was very confused, I clicked on the combined thread and it took me to a post 23 days ago on page 5.

Yeah same, I almost upvoted one of my own posts without realising thinking this guy knows what he's talking about

@Paekakboyz Who knows. Hopefully it's a bit like that unfounded rumour about Cane losing his captaincy.
The other possibility is that he turned them down and I can see why Razor might not want the top job now, he's got a year to turn this rubble around and we probably don't have the cattle to win the RWC regardless of the coach, so it's a risky job to take atm.

TBH, he would lose mana for me if that was the case. The cattle would be the same if he got the job back in 2020 and considering they're a rubble he basically has a free pass to stuff up over the next year and still be the coach after the RWC.

I don't know if any of the coaches are decent stonemasons.

Hopefully not true although something similar was mentioned on stuff today.

Wasn't it made clear they were getting another backs coach after SA tour?
It's probably referring to Leon MacDonald coming on board as backs coach - as Foster was only meant to be taking over Mooar's portfolio for SA, then I'd assume McDonald would join them for the upcoming NZ leg...
