All Black Coach - Ian Foster

So the good oil is that Fozzie has the job with Razor as assistant. It's been made clear to Razor that turning down the gig as Ian's assistant would damage future aspirations.
NZR know they can't sell Fozzie to the public without a popular figure like Robertson in his camp.

While the RWC is a noble goal, given all but one RWCs in the professional era have had a finalist coached by someone who took over mid-cycle it is difficult to see a correlation between forward planning and success.
I'm starting to think the 4-year cycle is a complete myth. I reckon it's no more than 18 months, and even then the most important part is the last 3.
Ireland are proof of that ,
had a brilliant 4 year cycle then fall in a hole at the end

Seems to me an unbalanced not quite fit combination, Looks like they are hedging their bets and that doesn't normally work one stiffles the other becoming a half arsed situation..
its almost like Foster we know isn't the man but we like him so we pair him up with the better candidate. -
@Chris yeah I dont think it is ideal if NZR are trying to push them together, I thought the whole point of bringing your own team was so you are working with someone you know, trust, and obviously are on the same page. Not sure Fozzie & Robertson seem a natural fit, although I could be wrong too.
However if Fozzie & Robertson had come to an agreement themselves, without NZR interference, then that works.
Plus who else is added to the mix?

For how many years? If it's only two years, and then Robertson taking over, that might not be the worst idea.

Yep, this has been NZR's preference throughout this process. Fozzie is their guy, Razor is someone they might give the big gig to further down the line but not yet.

disagree...maybe if Tew had still been at the helm, but I reckon Robinson will be keen to start afresh, more so after the RWC.

Problem with that is if Foster is not the man and shits the bed,Razor may sink with him bang goes his shot at Head Coach.

Two options:
- Hart-Wyllie
- Henry-Hansen-Smith

How good is that oil, Wurzel?
Expensive synthetic stuff you'd put in a Porsche or the sort of stuff that goes through your chainsaw bar?
