Seven of them. So we'll soon know if the magic number is eight...

[Machpants]

Seven is the magic number

[Tim]

@Bovidae No scrum coach? How about kicking?

Ryan is doing that.

How about kicking?

Holland or MacDonald I assume.

Three of the new support staff are from the Chiefs. I suppose they are doing double-duty now.

That would be the Internal Coordination Performance Analyst gig which is clearly yet to be filled.

[SBW1]

Disappointed Joe Schmidt isn't there in some capacity,

[Victor Meldrew]

@SBW1

Perhaps Robertson wanted a fresh, younger coaching team?

[canefan]

I just think Razor wants his guys

[chchfanatic]

@SBW1 he was given the opportunity. Didn’t want it. Said he couldn’t work with Razor.

[Kiwiwomble]

im not adverse to Schmidt not being there, in fact i do wonder about so many big names in one kitchen but as long as Razor has picked them then fingers crossed

[akan004]

Wtf is a Performance Scientist?

Adam Hay is currently part of the S&C team at the Chiefs. His title there is "Head of Performance Insights". Someone must earn good money to come up with these job descriptions.

I was wondering why they need a dietician and physics and trainers? Surely one of them could tell the guys to eat pasta.

@gt12 LOL at comparing Blackadder to PSDT

The state of NZ rugby media - cripes.

Given Richie Mo’unga’s move – apparently fulltime - to Japan

Nah, he's just there part-time.
