Ian Foster must go as part of an All Blacks rebuild Marc Hinton 13:00, Jul 18 2022 OPINION: Ian Foster is surely a goner. Among the laundry list of issues the board of New Zealand Rugby has to work through over the next few days around the All Blacks, that decision should take the least of their time. The board, we now know unequivocally, got it patently wrong when they extended Foster’s contract as All Blacks head coach through to the 2023 World Cup last year based on back-to-back home victories over a weak Wallabies side. Now these guardians of the game in this country must put their hands up and concede (as I noted at the time) that the decision was premature, and horrendously erroneous. Any other course of action could lead to the provinces wondering whether they have the right people running the game in this country. -
if this was the NRL or the AFL you would not be able to hear yourself for the media drums beating and beating hard for blood.
NZ rugby coaches are the most protected species in world sport.

@mariner4life and Hansen came out last week and called the NZ media bullies for their treatment of Foster.

@KiwiMurph That was on talk radio? Anyone got a clip?

@KiwiMurph Classic case of post hoc ergo prompter hoc. Ireland are only ranked number one in the world because they beat New Zealand in New Zealand. It's not like they came down here ranked number one.

And maybe he might also like to berate the NZRFU for being bullies and inflicting the sort of drivel that they have shoved at us under the guise of the All Blacks these last 12 months or so.

Nothing Hansen says in relation to Foster can be trusted.
Look at the comments under the video.
No one is buying this BS anymore. -
i got the shits inside a fucking minute with the strawmen arguments
We did not underestimate the Irish. How could we?
What we did was overestimate the All BlacksAnd it wasn't one loss Martin, it was a few thanks mate.
What a condescending tool.
"Times when people get jittery and make outrageous statements is because they don't know what's going on."
"We talk about mental health, but when the knives come out ... and the media are worst bullies ... and they should just report on the facts ..."
We can see the facts, and they are that the team is shit, the coach is shit, the results are terrible, and you're a delusional, arrogant fool.

If you hide the facts then the media will speculate. That is a fact.

Did I read correctly that Foster is on $1,000,000 per year salary? No wonder he is reluctant to go.

Exactly. It's not like he has any prospect of getting anything like that anywhere else. Maybe KFC will give him a role somewhere. He has after all single-handedly kept several of their franchises afloat.

@chimoaus would seem on the high side?
Arent the top ABs 'only' on 750-900kk or there abouts from NZR?
