Eddie Jones did the breakfast media round in UK this morning. He's already looking for another big coaching gig. Basically a come and get me for any interested Unions out there.

I hope NZR were listening. I'd love to see Eddie as part of a future AB coaching group.

how many coaches can be picked almost instantly after being dropped from the world's
thirdfourthfifth highest ranked team? -
If you think it's crazy to have Eddie as an analyst what about looking at Moonhead Mitchell to run the defence? He has done a good job in that area throughout the world and would bring some insights to the NH systems especially. Couldn't be worse than the current bloke.
Between them they would piss everybody off and last no more than one season but if it works it works. -
@Tim said in Foster, Robertson etc:
@sparky As an analyst. No actual contact with the players.
He'd be fine on a short term deal, it's only after this methods wear off that he's a probelm. Be perfect to add to the team for a World Cup year for example.

Totally agree. Would love to see him as part of the AB camp for 2023.

Same proviso as Eddie. Don't leave the players alone with him

Personally for the sake of the game, I would say no Eddie etc, or any defence,scrum,lineout coahes. Limit it too head and assistant coach, and let the players play.
I know it may seem dumb, but I preferred when players won matches, now almost everyone seems to credit/blame the coaches.

If we're going to blame coaches for Mo'unga's struggles at test level, maybe we could point the finger at Robertson for having him focus on playing a style that is not conducive to test footy at Super level.

@No-Quarter Nothing can be pinned on Robertson as he was being paid to win the Super Rugby title hence he would have his players playing his style of rugby that he deemed necessary to achieve that goal.

And what style would that be? Under Razor, Mo'unga's won 6 consecutive titles by playing intelligent pragmatic, structured rugby in the play-offs. They only reserve the helter-skelter headless Ian Foster style rugby for the Australian fixtures...

Compare the quality of the tight 5s in the 2022 Super Rugby final and you can see where the game was won and lost.
@KiwiMurph how about the semi-final where Chiefs' All Black forward pack were all over Crusaders however couldn't manage to convert any of that dominance into points?

Yep - hence why only Tupaea of that Chiefs backline made the initial ABs squad
