The Silver Fern

@sparky his tenure at Wasps was also incredible. But, as a Chiefs fan, hell no...

@African-Monkey Ah yeah, that is right. Welp.

I have been thinking today. Can 2026 be a 2010 all over again? I remember after 2009 thinking we had no shot at the world cup. South Africa looked invincible. But then 2010 comes along and something clicked. Maybe I am delusional and this is cope, but I genuinely think it is possible, even with a new coaching set up.

@Tim he had two weeks with the All Blacks last year.

@Bovidae nah, he still lives in Waihi beach. Just spends part of the year over in Oz.

Speaking of Argentina. Kenny Lynn has done great there. I honestly think they're one of the best attacking teams in world rugby.

Tony Brown is the key for me. If we can get him back then I am comfortable pulling the trigger. Otherwise it seems like a bold call to move on from Razor. But, the review must be scathing.

Meanwhile, the only rugby related stuff I can find on the Herald is about BB's holiday in Fiji.

@Dan54 I am thinking more of Smith returning to his role under Henry and then Hansen. Hands on coaching.

@Dan54 It is a part time gig, plus he works with the Black Ferns and other NZ representative teams.

@george33 Wayne Smith makes the most sense.
