    weeelll the collective wisdom of the Fern thought Shag's appointment in 2011 was a bit bleak too.

    Massive failure with Wales, powder puff forwards, lineout woes, terrible relationship with the media....

    Lets hope we are all wrong again in 2020

    Conversely there were high expectations heading into 2000 after the Wayne Smith appointment and things didn’t really pan out that well....

    @ACT-Crusader so we're consistent.

    When we are happy we are wrong and when we are unhappy - we are wrong.

    Time for a beer methinks

    Not the guy I'd have appointed, never been a fan, but all the luck in the world to Ian Foster.

    @ACT-Crusader it used to say something like that didn't it?

    Now "Consistently wrong for over two decades"

    "Wrong for so long we now talk about colonoscopys"

    Congratulations to Ian. A proud moment for him and his family.

    I think he’ll bring something different to what we’ve seen over the last little while. Similar to Hansen who changed things up a bit post-Henry.

    I’m hopeful and wish him and the new coaching team well.

    Way too fucking positive. Pull your head in mate.

    I recall everyone on here being stoked with the team we selected in Perth...

    Good luck to Foster and his team, I for one am excited for 2020, we get to challenge the World Champs, play a new Wallabies side and see how this team rebounds from their failure in 2019.

    South African rugby writer Mark Keohane believes it will benefit the Springboks if Ian Foster is named as Steve Hansen's All Blacks coaching successor

    The All Blacks were anaemic against the Lions in 2017 and were a shambles that got humiliated against England in the RWC Semi. Why on earth are NZR appointing to the top job, the Assistant Coach who was very much part of those two spectacular failures?

    Is Cane more likely to be the captain now? Whitelock isn't playing SR so I am not sure it is right to pick him.

    At least he's honest in our assessment of him

    He also admitted he had a job now, as the head honcho, to "reinvent myself with the public and media" after eight years where his chief role was to complement the style of Steve Hansen. He said he hoped to be seen "in a new light", to be innovative and provide a sense of direction for the team.

    And foreign assessment of him too (Lots of articles saying NZ made the right choice, for their teams)

    "I'm extremely passionate about adding a new touch to it and to really grow and get some mana back on the field, which we feel we've lost a little bit."

    Yes foster, your record as head coach sucks, prove us doubters wrong

    *I know that I've got a bit to prove because people will say I never achieved anything with the Chiefs," he said.

    "That was a while back. When I speak in the Waikato I introduce myself as the person who coached the Chiefs before they won anything*

    Meh

    Worries if the current specialists are maintained :

    • Defence (McLeod) : porous, to say the least. I would have liked to see a specialist of the rush defence.
    • Kicking from hand (Hill) : was very poor. Is Hill the main culprit or is it because Barrett and Mo'unga don't know how to kick ?

    According to 1 News his team has not been confirmed yet.

    Moar, Feek, Plummer, McLeod are all speculation...

    Cane is a better choice anyway. Whitelock is an excellent player but Cane seems like a proper hard bastard. It still beggars belief that he didn't start against the Poms in the SF

    @taniwharugby I find Moaar a bit of a strange pick. He just started at Scarlets as head coach. I don't know for how long he has been appointed, but can't imagine he has an outclause in what is a contract for his first gig as head coach.
