@taniwharugby Yeah, to me it reads like he had decided to retire.

I was very surprised when the press entered him back into the conversation to be honest.
Always assumed that this was his swan song.

NZR going to do the right thing for once.
I'm passionate as ever about NZ rugby but there are large challenges to be faced next year. Last 3-4 years have been diabolical at times

@SBW1 said in Foster, Robertson etc:

@Dan54 Is Aaron Webb a future Head coach?

Aaron is a strength and Conditioning coach he has been The Manager of the Academy not a Rugby coach really.

Obviously a pretty switched on fella, and doing great job at Academy if what Mainsbridge is aying sums him up he certainly doing good work. Not all good stuff is done by coaches, there so much behind scenes that make for successful teams!
Quite different skills required I think.

@Tim Yep had heard that in grapevine quite sometime ago, he always thought 4 years was enough. (If so pleased mt scources are still reasonably good lol)

100%, He does a great job, good at relating to young players and parents and a really organised Individual.

@Chris just pleases me so much when these fellas get given credit, and just wish people realised how good they are for sport.
Not blowing wind up your backside, but I understand how you do similar with young cricketers over there, it is what keeps the game going at higher level especially.

@Machpants Does this sound like a done deal and that Razor is locked in already? Thought he was going to help out the Fijians.

Kiwiwomble

i did see this the other day

Higgins

@Kiwiwomble Scot Robertson says "Fiji - Here I come"?

Kiwiwomble

@Higgins or japan if joseph did come this way?

to be clear, i think razor is a lot more likely

mariner4life

i want Joseph to be the coach just so i can watch the melts.

Higgins

@mariner4life Ran into him a couple of times in the Wellington Football Club's Isherwood Lounge where he was enjoying the associated activities surrounding rugby with his Axemen mates when he was living in Kilbirnie. Seemed to be a thoroughly decent down to earth bloke.

taniwharugby

I just want the coach announcement to be made, so we can start complaining about something else...

i met him a few times through rugby, and at his pub (playing against him even at his age then was fucking fun, what a unit) as he was mates of mates. Seemed a good rooster

shit. i just googled his age. He seemed old when i played him. turns out he was the same age i was in my last year of prems. I don't feel so bad about the towelling (and verbals) i copped.
