OK I have changed my mind entirely
Alama Iremeia
supported by
Filo Tiatia -forwards
Jason O'halloran - attack
Tana Umaga - defence
Piri Weepu - SkillsChristian Cullen - Selector
this Hurricanes Old Boys team serves a purpose of keeping Hammett well away from the ABs
Piri Weepu Pie Skills?
Hansen and Fozzie clearly show that do as I say not as I do when it comes to food consumption is no barrier to coaching the ABs. Plus, with Piri there the props will have less opportunity to over indulge as he'll hog all the kai.

@Machpants Cory Jane would be in charge of that no?

So the best coaching options are now going to be plotting the AB's downfall.
Yep, Australia, the Lions and Japan will have better Kiwi international coaches than the All Blacks. Total incompetence by the NZR Board.
If it's Foster, then Wales, England's defence and Georgia will have better Kiwi coaches too.
These are tough days. Keep the (Black) faith!

Can't see it being a good move for Rennie. I guess if you were going to pick someone to make it work it'd be him, but I just can't see him coming out of it looking good.
and if he does, this place will certainly be interesting

@mariner4life first PI heritage coach of a T1 nation as endorsed by Laban. That should cause a few haters around here.
I think it's a bad move Dave. Also, no one has coached the Wallabies and gone on to coach the ABs (at least in the professional era).

What could NZR have done differently? Replace Hansen in 2017?

Yes he was skated to go then but chose 2 more years. Def 2 more years too far. Foster could have had a crack from then, and we'd be in a better of position now. Does well after lions? Keep him. Does shit, everyone would know it and see the abs coaching opportunity coming
-
@Machpants but 2 years ago, Foster would likely have been the only option? Plus, under Tew, the contracting would likely have seen him sign 4 years with option to extend to 2023?
I think it would have been best for all, had Hansen followed Richie, Dan, Conrad, Maa, Mealamu et al in 2015...but hindsight and all
-
I'm shattered that Dave Rennie is going to be coaching the Wallabies. IMO Rennie is the best head coach NZ has produced in the pro-era, and to see him not even progress to interview stage for the vacant AB job is terrible. Apparently the Wallabies have been talking to him for months, which is annoying as we've known Steve Hansen was retiring for ages yet it seems that NZR didn't even start discussions with candidates until after the RWC. What's the point of approaching 26 candidates if all the good ones have already been snapped up?

I would 100% genuinely take Chieka over Foster.
Pretty easy to see why other coaches rule themselves out and take other jobs. Get paid a shit tonne more and get maximum respect / kudos for a series of results which would have you down as the worst All Blacks coach ever.
Gatland 56% win rate with Wales
Schmidt 72% win rate with Ireland
Rennie - ?
Joseph - ?Not a tough decision!

Chiefs fans don't forget the Foster years.
Chieka isn't a bad coach. Not sure he's a great manager tho.
