Has Hansen gone stale?

[canefan]

Gatland finishes with Wales after RWC2019 and will head home. Into a Super job and to vie for an AB cartel place? Perhaps a deal has been done?

(Rush) Defence coach?

@booboo Maybe some ideas how to combat it? That's where we struggle.

If he is keen to stop acting like a whiney bitch, and he wants to help the cause and be a team player, they should get him in. The rule that coaches must come from Super ranks is made to be broken isn't it?

Rules gone I think

Never hurts to ask, and makes sense from NZRU perspective, I think they would have preferred a succession-plan where the next AB head coach had served some sort of coaching capacity with the team rather than come in from “the cold.”

@tim As I expected, an unpatriotic mercenary.

[taniwharugby]

wouldnt he have been mid-contract then anyway, so woulda been a costly exercise if they were to try buy him out??

[Machpants]

@taniwharugby no I think he signed an extension so they tried to get him before that? Could be wrong.

[Salacious Crumb]

If Scmidt had walked away and accepted the AB offer, there were presumabhly no guarantees he would have gotten the AB head coach job, especially if he’d heard loud whispers about Fozzie being tipped, and I suspect being a competitive man and given how far he’d already ascended with Ireland, he wanted to see his plan play-out to the summit, which is RWC. So I reckon he was never realistically going to walk away from that Ireland job unless the NZRU came with an offer he couldn’t refuse.

@machpants I know a lot of people deride Foster as a coach, but I'm sure that Hansen wouldn't tarnish his own reputation and the legacy of the All Blacks if he didn't believe Fozzy was a good coach.

It would be interesting what the players would say if they were free from any fallout in providing frank and honest feedback to NZR during the process.

[Machpants]

@antipodean I'm pretty sure the end of year forms the players do are anon, they'd be pointless otherwise.
