[Number 10]

This is the NZ Herald article by Gregor Paul

[Billy Tell]

Paul has become a bit insufferable

“10 things you don’t know about the ABs”
“The REAL reason Aaron Smith has a bullet pass”
“What the Barrett’s mum cooked to feed her hungry boys”

And so on. AKA click-bait

@Number-10 love for razors side to come out. It will one day. First he has world cups to win. Wether it’s with the all blacks or England.
Why is NZR putting so much weight on Schmidt’s opinion. What has he ever won. If anyone listened to razors interview on Senz the other morning , then they’ll agree he’s the man for the job.

I hope for our sake NRU have told him the job is his post RWC23.

The NH experience is obviously something they see as critical to the position.
Whether that is the right thing doesn't matter. As an organisation they have been burned before with very good NZ coaches without considerable insight into the NH game and are obviously reluctant to go down that path again without at least bringing someone like Joe into the mix.

That seems to be working well over the last few years.
Record loses,losing to teams we never have before.Losing the last WC.As Joseph said no one is scared of the AB's anymore they are just another average team there to beat.
We will not win the 2023 WC either.
The AB reputation has been fucked right up.

[Hooroo]

Won Championship, retained bled, 100% record on Northern Hemisphere tour so far.

No worries.

Love how surf jesus will not only magically make NZ players better than they are

But also instantly reverse the enormous improvement in rugby among the top 10-12 nations

What a coach. What a human.

The second coming of Robbie Deans even.

@Number-10

I can understand Cane being involved. And maybe Ardie as who knows the way Robertson would go. He might have found himself as a reserve

And Smith is at the end of his career and would prefer what he knows. But why Whitelock?

Or John Hart. Although from a different area he was really hyped up.

@taniwharugby

Confident.

Robertson has reportedly been looked at as a possible coach of England or the Wallabies if he leaves New Zealand after he said earlier this year he wanted to win the World Cup with two different nations.

[Machpants]

Foster also confirmed lock Patrick Tuipulotu and playmaker Damian McKenzie would rejoin the ABs XV squad, while winger Mark Telea – a late call-up after Leicester Fainga’anuku went home for family reasons – would stay on with the All Blacks as Will Jordan will stay on in New Zealand to get over his inner ear issue.

Um why send Tuipulotou back? Cos we have 3 locks now SW, Vai'i and SB, BBBR (with the emphasis on bad) will get 3 weeks rest

Likewise Graham Henry.

There's only two ways you become AB coach.

1. You have a record of sustained winning at the highest level and bring in some new ideas. There is inevitably high expectations for what you will achieve. You will have some passionate cheer-leaders, and some detractors.

2. Your name is Foster.

Didn't apply to Hansen either. But he was one of our most remarkable coaches - kept the Henry era going for another cycle.
