Foster, Robertson etc

Be kind of amusing if the delay is that they are about to pull an Australia and sack Foster with Robertson for this world cup cycle.
Ignoring my preference for coach, it would be nice to break the dogma of four year cycles of coaches is sacrosanct. If a coach is failing or under delivering that should be replaced when there is a better option.

Good points but should have done it after Ireland III or Bokke I. Very little time for a new coach to settle in now. Not even the Hawthorn Effect would likely be much use.

agree with the 2nd para 100%
Not sure i would be happy with the first, unless all we are changing is the head coach (and maybe defense, though even that is fraught with danger)
Australia are now in a position where an entirely new coaching group has 5 games to the World Cup to bed in their preferred patterns. That's a tough ask
At least England and Wales have a 6 nations campaign and i imagine a couple of warm up games, and probably a couple of camps.
While i know that the last 3 years means less to success at the World Cup than the next 8, that notion is predicated on some sort of continuity.

I see Hayden Meikle in a paywalled article predicted Joseph & Brown will get the job
It was the ODT SR preview and he mentioned the Crusaders have a distraction coming up when the AB coach is announced and itâs not Robertson. He said people should put money on it being Joseph/Brown now
-
If rumor it's correct, it was the players who whined that change after SA2 would be too disruptive (not sure if they meant for that season, or for RWC). It was a big part of keeping foster. To me this shows the players, like NZR, are too complacent and comfortable. Business wisdom says after 7 years on your job, you're at you're peak. After it's down hill, this certainly applies to a coaching regime that has essentially been around since 2004, foster since 2012 đ¤Ž

So he goofed his quote, silly boy. However, at least he isn't whining that the questions around the abs are a distraction to his crusaders campaign

are they talking Scott ROBERTSON or Mark ROBINSON, or both?

So it is actually the same person, with a very good makeup artist?! What a twist!

Good for him for admitting he got it wrong and accepting the need to play a straight bat from now on.

This will take away some speculation, too.

I don't want to throw a keg of beer on the fire but it is increasingly clear to me that Josef Schmidt has an awful lot of sway with the NZR.

âProbably the best way forward if weâre going to do it, if we want to look after our best coaches in the country, which Razor (Robertson) certainly is, then you name him, you move on and everyone can focus on supporting Fozzie, because thatâs what we need to do this year, get behind him,â the 37-year-old Read said on the Breakdown.
âThe way New Zealand rugby are letting things hang at the moment, Fozzie probably doesnât feel like thereâs much support for him.â
âThe whole thing hasnât been handled well,â Read said.
âReally, all of the stuff should be happening behind closed doors.
âIt shouldnât be aired, what both coaches or everyone whoâs come out talking. It shouldnât be happening.
âHopefully we get to the bottom of it and through it soon.â
But while this is the No 1 topic of conversation amongst rugby fans in New Zealand, Read said it wouldnât be something bothering the All Blacks players.
âPlayers donât want distractions, but to be honest, if Iâm coming from a playerâs perspective, I think they wonât mind,â he said.
âThey wonât care what happens, as long as it gets dealt with in the right way.
âThe way itâs being dealt with at the moment, there are distractions everywhere.
âSo go in and either name the new coach, or donât. Itâs as simple as that, itâs not going to derail the players if you name the new All Blacks coach next week.â
Read was asked during his Breakdown interview if he felt there was now a disconnection between the All Blacks and NZ Rugby management and he felt there was.
âIâm not sure of the exact ins and outs, I do know thereâs that disconnect and you can see it, itâs palpable whatâs happening there,â he said.

NZR should get a red card. Hopeless.

Give them more time. -
Just throwing a scenario out there.
NZR succumb to public and media pressure and announce Razor as coach after the RWC.
Media then turn to hounding Razor for decisions on assistants, saying that Franchises have the right to know (as do the likes of the current assistants)
Jamie Joseph chips in and says there was no interview process and that he was waiting until after the RWC with Japan to discuss as no one had approached him.
Razor's methods take time to embed in an international environment and we have a rough season.
Press and public ask why he was appointed without a full application process. -

Fans ask, did we get the secret of the Crusaders success with Ryan?

Will be if Razor s still pissed off with him. (one of the many rumours around)

I guess it would leave Razor plenty of time of plan his dance number.
