@voodoo to be fair, we've seen in the past year what a difference the team of assistants can make though.

[taniwharugby]

@Bones I can understand them wanting a team, but maybe they appoint the coach, then in conjunction with the coach, work on his team from a group of candidates.

Although if we do it this way we might end up with McLeod as our defence coach...

I'm not convinced McLeod could coach such a successfully punishing defender.

You seem very well informed sir

[SBW1]

@nostrildamus Wonder if the Abs might go down the road of an NRL defence coach for the World Cup.

Joe Schmidt won’t apply for the All Blacks head coaching role.

Schmidt released a short statement on Saturday that also ruled out the possibility of him working with either Scott Robertson or Jamie Joseph, the leading candidates to succeed Ian Foster.

“I have really enjoyed being back on the grass coaching with the Blues and the All Blacks,” he said. “I very much appreciate those opportunities, but presented with a condensed time frame this year, I won’t be applying for any coaching roles that extend beyond the Rugby World Cup.

[SBW1]

@KiwiMurph Really hope he stays on in some capacity even if it is with one of the Super rugby franchises.

I hope they are not serious issues of any kind.

[No Quarter]

I am absolutely shocked and appalled by that. My faith in anonymous internet sources has taken a real hit. Feeling a bit lost right now.
