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

Likewise Graham Henry.

There's only two ways you become AB coach.
-
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.

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.

He coached Wales with some distinction didn't he?

I hope they keep Foster as coach until 2030 its so amusing watching people try to defend him.
I want to see Razor go to England,while the AB's are being knocked out in the QF's under Foster.And then probably give him 4 more years.
It is got beyond a Joke how far The AB's will fall under the Clown ringmaster.
But we know they are really excited and learning lots of things.
Crochet maybe or gardening because its sure not winning rugby or WC's. -
Fern Logic
Judging by what is written on the Fern, a lot of guys think Surf Jesus wins SR titles with a lot of shit average players. They "magically" look good because they play for the Crusaders apparently but are shit compared to "insert your own team's member here". However, according to some, Surf Jesus's "magical abilities" will somehow disappear at the international level. -

Surf Jesus wins Super Titles with players that are good at Super Rugby but are shit at Test rugby. And the refs favour the Saders too.

Or, alternatively, surf jesus wins titles playing ourselves and the Australians.
I think surf jesus is a good coach. I'm just so very bored of the hypothetical that he comes in and it's 2015 all over again being treated as fact.
And the simple fact is, Ian Foster is taking us to the world cup so all the rest is just boring conjecture.

Are people saying it will 2015 all over again? I think Razor's name keeps popping up because the way things are at the moment he is probably the best available alternative to Foster. And an alternative to Foster is on a lot of wish lists.

Hansen at least won a couple of NPCs.
Foster's literally never won any championship until the TRC -- which has only one competitive opponent in it.

I don't recall anyone saying that it was a fact that if Razor took over the ABs we will win the world cup. But my memory ain't the best.

There's no point mucking about. Appoint Razor after the final whistle blows at RWC 2023. Don't leave us hanging. Do it now.
NZR are pathetic and have done so much damage over last few years. -

NZR are pathetic and have done so much damage over last few years.The team seemed unprepared and lacked direction. Again. That's the Foster legacy. No wonder nobody is afraid of the ABs anymore. Used to be they had a plan and dared other teams to beat it. It's not down to different personnel, it is the coaching staff's inability to scheme for the players they have selected. Uninspiring all around.

It's not people defending Foster. It's people not believing the hype that a coach who's undoubtedly good at SR level but with minimal and patchy experience at international level - and zero experience at Test level - is the magic solution to restore the AB's to the glory days, that NZR knows he will do this but there is some secret illuminati plot within NZR to prevent it happening.
So you end up with stupid arguments that Foster should be sacked as he lost to a team we've never lost to before, but a different criteria should apply to Robertson as he needs time to settle into the role due to inexperience at Test level.
