    not surprised

    at least there is a chance the world will be back to normal for his replacement

    the only thing worse would be someone 'better' coming in but all the covid shit ruins their tenure

        The thing is, if we win the World Cup he will most likely be reinstated again. Ffs.

                        He'd retire job done IMO.

                        I don't see that bring Razor in now increases our RWC chances that much to be fair.
                        It isn't as if Foster and co are ignoring players that should be there and any poor periods have been attributed by the players themselves as down to not following instructions.
                        My belief is that, at present, our problems are mainly down to getting experience and test level combos established. Changing things up now won't help that.
                        The game itself is also n a funny place laws wise and we have to adapt ourselves to that. Just as SA found that trying to play a style that didn't suit them didn't work, the ABs trying to play a power game won't work either.

                          To be fair there wasn't it reported an unnamed NZRU board member told a journo during the 2003 RWC that Mitchell was gone at the end of the tournament. When asked "But what if they win?" The reply was something to the effect of "I don't see that complicating things".

                          Could be apocraphyl.

                            @hooroo I didn't say it would suck winning the WC, I was eluding to the fact that if we win the World Cup we will have to endure another lengthy period of shit selections and underwhelming coaching if he carries on in the role.

                                Thank goodness this has been sorted at last. The coaching team have worn a lot on their shoulders through extremely difficult times. Must be very hard selecting, testing and motivating when you think each match may be your last, instead of trying to build the strongest squad and combinations for the next 2 years or more.

                                It is great to see the team spirit flourishing, and bodes well. Well done NZRU in getting this sorted before the team departs.

                                  I'd be more worried if they extend Foster's contract again, if he does NOT win the 2023 RWC. And the latter is far more likely to happen.

                                    England 2007 were a couple of centimeters away from winning the thing, despite being an absolute pile of steaming, negative, shit. RWC performance doesn't always correlate with actual quality of the team or coaching.

                                      The senior players (and Shand) would have been asked for feedback and I doubt this decision would have been made now if their opinions were overwhelmingly negative.

                                        As the press release mentions alot about building culture and stuff, I am sure the echo chamber that is the ABs (where it's relly hard to get dropped) is positive to Foster. However he has been barely tested with his opponents, and even then lost to Argetina in a dire effort - which should have been a firing result

                                          The senior players (and Shand) would have been asked for feedback and I doubt this decision would have been made now if their opinions were overwhelmingly negative.

                                          I'm not sure of this. The evidence is that Foster is an extremely likeable person and players like him. He never faced any issues with the Chiefs, even when they came second last.

                                          In some cases there have been useless coaches that get player support precisely because it allows the players to do what they want.
