losses for sacking
One, AB's don't lose.
I'm kidding of course, but if the studies are correct on field leadership has a huge effect, even more so than coaching (obviously selection counts too). Interesting that our results (and performances) fell off a bit when Richie wasn't there. -
'We'll all be in for a helluva journey': Ex-All Blacks legend weighs in on coaching debate
The race to replace Steve Hansen as New Zealand coach is anyone's game, according to a 79-test All Black.
“On the flip side, Steve Hansen told us that Foster was coaching at the peak of his powers and yet we got spanked by England. If he’s at the top of his game, is he going to improve? That might be a wake-up call. Hansen’s record was amazing, but you need to look at the last two years from the Lions tour. What did we learn from the losses and how did we improve? Foster was part of all that.”

@Bovidae @Cyclops while I largely agree, ultimately the Ws and Ls will always be a big factor.
I mean we could be average for 2 seasons and scrape by with no losses, or we could play awesome showing oodles of potential and lose narrowly half a dozen times...
shes gonna be times like we havent had for a very long time.

You could sort of breakdance to that music.

Interesting to watch the movement of SA on that. Went a long time consistently top 3-4 then the recent plummet (dipped below Scotland) followed by a resurgence to the top.
Certainly looks like a big hit and reset was required.As unpalatable as that is, maybe we need something similar (not quite so drastic though).

We dropped to third. Third!

@KiwiMurph Scotty was well off the mark with his last tweet...
If true, I think the key will be his team, assume this is announced at the same time?

Stevenson said Hurricanes coach John Plumtree, Brad Mooar and Greg Feek are likely to join him, as well as Scott McLeod and David Hill, part of the current set-up, will join his team. -

In my mind, this is a good thing for Scott R as I think we are going to see a bit of averageness in the coming 12-18 months no matter who the coach.
He may well be in a better position in 2 years time! And more competition too, Gatland, Schmidt, maybe even Joseph could get out early.
