@Crucial I bet some of their readers will now think that the new ABs coaches will recruit players who are currently playing in Wales.

All those Welsh kids with Kiwi grannies?

All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster has today confirmed the bulk of his All Blacks coaching team.

Foster will be joined by Hurricanes Head Coach John Plumtree, former All Black and Maori All Black and Ireland scrum coach Greg Feek, with former All Black Scott McLeod also continuing in his defence role in the All Blacks coaching team.

Plumtree will look after the forwards in the new coaching set-up alongside Feek who will be scrum coach.

The coaches have been appointed for a two-year period. One more coach will be announced in due course.

Former All Black Grant Fox will continue as a selector for the 2020 season alongside Foster and Plumtree

Where's the rockstar assistant we were promised by Foz before he was appointed? Is Steven Tyler looking after the Backline?

[Stargazer]

@sparky I think they're still trying to get Brad Mooar. Not sure whether he counts as a rockstar though.

A bit harsh to blame Foster for claims that Marc Hinton made

What was Brad Mooar's role with the Crusaders?

[Tim]

So the roles would possibly be:

Foster - Head coach & Selector/Attack
Plumtree - Forwards & Selector
Feek - Scrum/Set-piece
McLeod - Defence

Fox - Selector

Mooar - Backs/Skills?

No mention of David Hill (kicking/skills).

Smarmy half time inteviewee?

Scott McLeod's eyebrows are getting out of control.
That's about all I have to say at this stage.

@Kirwan From a Blues perspective of course. Hard to not seem smarmy when you are so far ahead....

Robertson doesn't come across smug like Mooar does, and he's far more responsible for the Crusaders success than Mooar.

[Wurzel]

I'd imagine Mooar has always been the nice, jovial coach at every team he's coached at. Until he had to work under a nicer, more jovial coach in Razor.

Brad Mooar confirmed as part of Ian Foster's coaching "Dream Team"

The confirmation of Mooar completes Ian Foster’s assistant coaching team. He will look after the attack in the coaching set-up. As announced last week, John Plumtree will look after the forwards, Greg Feek is scrum coach and Scott McLeod will look after the defence.

Brad Mooar said: “To be joining the All Blacks coaching staff next year is an incredibly humbling and proud moment for my family and me. The opportunity to help coach your country comes around very rarely, so I would like to thank the Scarlets club for allowing me to join the All Blacks."
