@No-Quarter so assistant managers with no full Manager job experience never get promoted either then?
Not to the top of the most successful organisations in the world they fucking don't. They practice running the cutter elsewhere first, and PROVE they are up to the job, before they are even considered for the role.
So no to Rennie then?
Did you miss his work with the Chiefs?

I missed them playing test rugby!

Everything about what is wrong with this team again has been said already.
All I'll add to the conversation is that I still haven't got my head around Foster being promoted to head coach on the back of absolutely nothing. He has no body of work that even hints he knows what he is doing. What the hell were they thinking?
Probably have to give him a smidgeon of credit for being Assistant Coach of the team that won the RWC in 2015.
So absolutely nothing as a head coach.
About nine years ago he was head coach of the Chiefs if you think that's relevant.
He's obviously been selected on his work with the ABs.
Hey, don't blame me - I wanted Razor!

I have no qualms promoting coaches that have come up through the ranks in NZ and had success at Super level. Not a huge fan of making them go overseas and coach other top tier countries before being considered.
Success at Super level being the important part there.

Fosters main body of work as a head coach is traumatising the fuck out of Chiefs fans for years. You may as well chuck the role to fucking Hammer next based on that.

FFS, that's like saying Candyman 3 times, If he ever becomes AB coach I'm going to blame you and extract vengeance.

@No-Quarter All I can think of is that Shag, Fox and management have watched Fozzie behind the scenes and they believe in his abilities. All I can say is he must do a lot of work behind the scenes that we don't see.
Puts in massive shift at breakfast.
Foster fat jokes never get old

@Anonymous if only it was once every 28 days!

@No-Quarter I remember Gibbet's April fools thread about Foster getting the AB gig. How we wailed, and then laughed...
-
also, is kick off 4pm NZ time again?
-
@mariner4life yep

Ta
Wake at the pub for my mate today. Should be plenty of kiwis in attendance
-
@mariner4life send him off in grand style mate👍. I had the same situation in 2012 and the ABs hammered south Africa. My mate was a Saffa though. All very emotional

Funny game this one in that our (my) biggest hope for a win is the fucking ground it's being played at!
It's the only reason I didn't advise my ocker mate to put a lazy tenner on his team.
More hope in the stadium than the team - crazy
Its the aura

I am excited for this game, finally a real challenge at home against the Wallabies. I am going to try and just enjoy the rugby and not get too upset if we lose. A strong Wallaby team is good for world rugby and I am genuinely interested in watching how a coach such as Rennie can coach a group of players to maybe beat the best teams in the world, when they have struggled for so many years.
