Hinton writes a complete non article telling everyone how bad it will be if NZR don't do something that they are actually doing.
"you'll have to put a roof on that house or you will get wet"
"we are putting a roof on the house"
"I hope you do put a roof on because otherwise you will get wet"Except we don't know if that is what they are doing. All we have heard is that there are conversations. The mealy-mouthed fuckers at NZR have not said, we are going to choose the ABs coach before RWC, they have just said we're aware things are changing. And with the way they run things, I would imagine that it will be status quo, decision after RWC, and no one is left but Foster and Co

They might be mealy mouthed but if you sift through the bullshit it's clear they are bringing the process forward.
It's not even 2023 yet - Razor has said he wants the job and is going to apply.
By all accounts Razor was one Ellis Park loss away from being the ABs coach right now.
I will however continue to enjoy the freaking out on this thread for the next 6-9 months or however long til the 2024 AB coach is confirmed.

It seems to me more like a sadomasochistic meandering garden path down towards the RWC, hemmed in by two intractable walls of opinions: "Leave Foster there, the team likes him and Robertson must be overhyped/arrogant/inexperienced/risky" and a simple "get Foster out of there"! -

And they have already signed Razor until 2024. Personally I don't think there should be anymore info, apart from the applicants etc, who else needs to know?

He better not have worked out his preferred assistants though. That would be a recipe for disaster. Best that NZR put an ad on Seek.

I was reading this morning that motor mouth Hamish McLennan has seemingly let it ne known he has been in contact with Eddie Jones after he has lost Pom job.

@Dan54 maybe Rennie has indicated he may be looking to move on?

To who? Even if he has done that to RA, isn't that the point, you don't put it in the the press and undermine the team etc until things are finalised, some things should be kept in house to at least appear to have a solid set up.

Amen, I understand having your sport in print, but doesn't seem to know when to stop. Was good to see when Super agreement etc was announced, he wasn't there.

The problem with McLennon is he really is passionate about Australian Rugby, and is trying to promote the game In Australia by keeping it in the Media,Then going about all the wrong way with his bully, Bravado type Rhetoric.

The NZR have backed mediocrity 3 times in a row.
On appointment in 2019, 'another 2 years' in 2021, and 'sinking in South Africa' in 2022.
Does the NZR have the courage to step outside the box and back proven ability and success?
Everyone knows the turnaround is attributable to Joe Schmidt & Jason Ryan (Razor's originally proposed forwards coach...)
He's delivered numerous unwanted firsts & has tarnished the team's reputation - which Henry/Hansen rebuilded.
Most disturbingly, Foster has cultivated a prevalent culture of mediocrity, where accountability is almost non-existent and embarrassingly poor excuses are constantly peddled to the rugby paying fan-base.
He treats the rugby public with contempt & doesn't bring the innate connection individuals like Razor/Smith carry with the wider public.
The NZRU made correct decision in Smith when the BFs were in disarray, the results were automatic (8 months).
Under Foster they've recorded a meagre 30% (3 from 10) success rate against top-tier (top 5) nations.
