i'd still love to see more of a school yard selection deal, make a bit of a spectacle about it, two coaches named and they have to select one at a time

I could imagine - "Okay wife beater (Reece) you're the last pick."

So with Shannon Frizell out for up to 6 weeks with an ankle injury that may open up another spot in the July series for another loose forward to take a look at?
Plenty of contenders it's hard to list them all to be honest.
@kiwimurph shit, is that confirmed? i missed that

From today's team naming:
Shannon Frizell is ruled out with an ankle injury sustained during the Rebels match that will sideline him for up to six weeks.

This vote of confidence, however, has not been extended to Ian Foster and his coaching group – all of whom are only contracted until the end of this year - and the All Blacks remain the only major team in world rugby to not yet have certainty about who will be at the helm of the team in France.
The Herald understands that it is New Zealand Rugby's intention to wait until December to determine whether to give the incumbent group another two years or whether to make the role contestable.
What Foster's team will have to deliver in terms of results to win an extension is not known. And making the situation yet harder to predict is that it is unlikely to be just results that dictate the future of the incumbent coaching group.
It is also understood that the dedicated rugby committee tasked with extensively reviewing last season recommended extending Foster's contract beyond this year.
NZR's board, however, were concerned that the review identified that some of the wider coaching team struggled at times to cope with the step up to test rugby and deal with the enormous pressure that comes with being part of the All Blacks.
A return of three wins, a draw and two defeats combined with the question marks raised in the review, led to the board opting to hold off and agree that they need a stronger evidential basis this year to be certain they have the right group in place to take the All Blacks to the next World Cup.

@machpants well given he only signed up for 2 years, theyd be incredibly stupid to appoint any time before this season is done.
But as an organisation they should be starting the process now, if they haven't already...

TBH the process is, do we keep foster or apoint razor, doesn't require much planning

It's not like Robertson's reported assistants (Ryan and Holland) have prior experience either.

If the ABs coaching position is open in 2021, you can bet that Robertson will be suggesting some more experienced assistants this time.

Yeeeeaahh. But you know he's kinda good.
Been overlooked because age.
Think he's up there really.
I'd take a punt on 2023 at least.

@nepia Yeah, doesn't really offer too much with static ball or when his team is going backwards.
