Can someone summarise the press conference? I'm unfortunately stuck in a meeting until 5pm.
No player revolt, Razor doesn't have to be paid out, Razor can't coach top tier international teams until around the end of this year, the applications for new coaches are open to anyone, Kirk informed the leadership group an hour and a half before it was confirmed publicly.

Razor got sacked.
They need a new coach.
Sorry if that's a bit long winded or I've prattled on.
Prattled on there mate, too much information.

Wonder how employable and enticing the coach/es will be now.

Fuuuck . . . took me hours to catch this thread up.
Good work by the TSF.
Pat on the back.
On to this before anyone else.
Maybe TSF didn't get Razor sacked this week . . . but the ferners would have got it done eventually.Pat on the back to Kirk and Mealamu too.
Jeez . . . if NZR keep moving in this direction . . . I just might go back to being a lurker.

I think my prediction from a couple of years ago that Paps will be captain is looking much more likely now.
I'm not sure he 100% holds his spot, tbf, but it would be better it the captain wasn't Savea (of course), so its Taylor or another.
Joseph loved him, and said he would make a great All Black captain - but unfortunately he is heading offshore.
Wonder if he had a get out clause?

Since when is Paps heading offshore?

He just wasn't going to play for Razor IIRC

Are you getting your Hoskins mixed up with your Dalton?

Sorry if I didn’t make it clear - what I was stating was something Jamie had said behind closed doors.
I am guessing he saw no future with the current group so was seeking a release to go overseas - I had heard he was ‘going’ I don’t know if that means signed.

If JJ gives him an honest go I'd imagine those plans are on hold for now
