    @Victor-Meldrew exactly...all still rumour getting reported as fact

    It's not a rumour, it's from people who work at NZR.

    In other words, unsubstantiated bollocks.

    Seems you're upset about NZR exposed for lack of integrity & denial is your coping mechanism.

    Nah. I'm calling gossip and hearsay being presented as fact for what it is - unsubstantiated bollocks

    Let me present the facts to you again - I know about the situation from a player and some people that work at the rugby union

    So you heard it down the pub then?

      Tuiloa says he’s trying to entice Robertson, an avid surfer, to Fiji by offering him free accommodation to test out his surfing skills in Tavarua.

      “I know he’s a surfer, so I told him, ‘look, you can come to cloud break in Tavarua and come and surf some clouds, some barrels, some big waves there and come and coach the Flying Fijians; we’ll give that to you for free, and you can help our boys reach the quarter-finals,’” Tuiloa told FBC News.

But continue to live in denial if it provides some level of comfort for you.

        fact
        /fakt/
        Learn to pronounce
        noun
        a thing that is known or **proved** to be true.
        

        you do understand that to us you're just some rando on the internet, so unless you're going to name these people....i assume you wont....so this is literally a case of "some anonymous person on the internet says another anonymous person in NZR said something"

        ask yourself, do you believe my post above about eddie jones being offered the job...both statement have the same number of "facts"

        you might just have to accept you might know something you are unable to prove or convince anyone of

          Listen up, you clueless morons. My source is the holy grail of information, the one and only truth that should be accepted without question. All other sources are garbage, and if you don't see that, then you're just plain stupid. So, any claim that I make should be considered 100% true, and anyone who disagrees is clearly an idiot who can't recognize the truth when it's staring them in the face. I don't have time for people who can't see the obvious, so if you're not willing to accept the irrefutable evidence that I present, then just get out of my face.

                  All of that also perfectly fits in with the scenario that he was lined up, asked, he agreed he would do it but nothing had been signed off. What none of this tells us is the reason why it wasn't signed off. Was there a proviso that Foster had been one last game to arrest the slide? We don't know. Knowing the photographer, the NZRU staff etc doesn't bring that knowledge.

                            back to the actual topic, good to know that Robertson allegedly has offers

                            https://www.planetrugby.com/news/scott-robertson-crusaders-boss-offered-rugby-world-cup-role

                            And allegedly has asked NZR for a release to do so but has been refused. Presimably on the basis of distruption to his current job

                              Listen up, you clueless morons. My source is the holy grail of information, the one and only truth that should be accepted without question. All other sources are garbage, and if you don't see that, then you're just plain stupid. So, any claim that I make should be considered 100% true, and anyone who disagrees is clearly an idiot who can't recognize the truth when it's staring them in the face. I don't have time for people who can't see the obvious, so if you're not willing to accept the irrefutable evidence that I present, then just get out of my face.

                                @Victor-Meldrew exactly...all still rumour getting reported as fact

                                It's not a rumour, it's from people who work at NZR.

                                In other words, unsubstantiated bollocks.

                                Seems you're upset about NZR exposed for lack of integrity & denial is your coping mechanism.

                                Nah. I'm calling gossip and hearsay being presented as fact for what it is - unsubstantiated bollocks

                                Let me present the facts to you again - I know about the situation from a player and some people that work at the rugby union, it was all go and set to be announced, the press releases were already written and photoshoots with Razors family already organized, then retracted the contract offer after SA match. But continue to live in denial if it provides some level of comfort for you.

                                @kiwi_expat this is exactly how it happened. Jason Holland was celebrating getting the gig and posted something on a hurricanes WhatsApp group. Jordie Barrett showed Scott and others. Then the players had a meeting with Mark Robinson etc and the rest is history. Players didn’t want the disruption of a new coach a year from World Cup.
                                Razor asked to coach Fiji for some international experience and was turned down by nzrfu. He has no idea if he’ll get the abs. The fish heads in nzrfu don’t like him.

                                  Even the Cantab players didn't want Razor? Wow.
                                  I guess they prefer the continuity of the Foster selections (JB at 12, 15 and wing; a different 6 or 7 every week; rotating 10s)..
