@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.

Brad Mooar confirmed as part of Ian Foster's coaching "Dream Team"
https://www.allblacks.com/news/brad-mooar-confirmed-for-all-blacks-role
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."

Seriously underwhelmed by this lot of coaches.
Seriously concerned for the next couple of years of AB rugby - its been a heck of a ride from late 2004 through this to year. Ridiculous amount of success. Maybe the last golden age of world rugby. -

Did you read Razor's list though?
I don't think this crop is that bad save for the retention of McLeod, but I rate Plumtree more than most and can see pathways for Gatland/Schmidt/Razor himself to be involved before this cycle is over.
-
Razor and Brad Mooar don’t get along. That’s why he didn’t go with him. Apparently they clashed a lot , but we’re both professional enough to put the team first.
-
Glad Plumtree is there. Improvement from Cron?
-
Cron's role has been replaced by Feek. Plumtree is coaching the forwards which was a role undertaken by Steve Hansen himself. It's hard not to feel like this team is inferior in every aspect to the the previous coaching team, and the one before that.
-
Who knows, we have months to wail and gnash over it.
It was clear Hansen was getting stale, and I'd wager he still called the shots, some had said several years ago our scrummaging, all over NZ was being taught the Cron way and was becoming stale and less of a weapon.
Maybe Fozzie will have some new ideas and manage his team well, similarly Feek and Plumtree who seem to have fashioned decent careers under others, Moar I know less about, McLeod, well at times our defence was miserly, others it was shit.
This team will be starting with a relayively clean slate too in terms of player personnel, a new captain, sans one of our best performers over the past 4 or 5 years; so it is the ushering in of a new era...whether that is good or bad remains to be seen.
At least the next 2 years wont be boring...it might suck, or might be great, but I cant see it being boring.
