@gt12 Schmidt fixed the Blues attack this year, an obvious solution there.
Makes the photo above even more powerful. They should never have brought him (Moaar) back, he had zero record of success.
Same with Plumtree really.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re all weak by international standards, but Mooar jumps out as a picking winners from zero form selection. Should never have been in the conversation.

Yep, only guy I can think of who "seemed" to come from nowhere over the last few years (ok probably more than a decade) was Cron, but he had the results to back him up I imagine. I have zero knowledge about Mooar's past and regularly forget he's even a coach until his name pops up on here.

Not saying I think he should be an assistant AB coach, but how do we know he's not good? Apart from hindsight of course. I am probably wrong, but I don't recall anyone bemoaning his appointment until someone on here said Robertson didn't rate him.

Cheers. Sort of recalled @Chris but not the others.

I heard he didn’t fit into the Crusaders to well and Razor wanted to move him on.
Although a couple of the backs did speak highly of him. -

You know what's irked me, seeing true blue kiwis absolutely dining out on beating their own country. I can't even greatly enjoy a win over an old club, I'll be fucked if I'm all glee and rainbows at beating the ABs.
I suppose they were “rejected” by NZ and been a raging success in Ireland. How Francis saili got selected ahead of Aki, I’ll never know. A black mark for Hansen there.

Aki never gave it a chance. Had a good season then buggered off.
Edit: to me he's the equivalent of TUJ, but he was nowhere near as good as those ahead of him.

Drastic action needed now , like has been said you will and can be beaten , but it’s the direction less nature of our performances that is most alarming, we look like we don’t have a clue how to play this well drilled Ireland team .
And this has been going on for a few years now , and the negative results are starting to weigh us down I believe, it’s gone too far to be turned around now. I honestly believe that, I think foster has taken this side too far into a deep black hole.
I believe the time is right for a change, and I don’t believe it’s too late in regards to the next wc, look at South Africa at the last , the timing would be similar. And I still believe we have the talent in the country to be one of the top contenders. A drastic refresh needed for that to happen though .

Ireland are a progressive modern rugby side. NZ are not.
That’s why we didn’t have an answer in the last 2 tests!
Makes you wonder how we won the first - oh that’s right Fozzie had to self isolate from the ABs!!People saying it is too late to change before the RWC.
Do nothing and we may not get out of the pool. Under present mgmt the World Cup is a write off so may as well let someone have a crack with low expectations - I favour Schmidt and Robertson- Schmidt can bring international and RWC experience and taking a bit of pressure off Robertson

@DaGrubster I don’t believe it is too late, I mean longer would be better yes , but how many times do teams change coaches when things aren’t working and the improvement is instant ?
It’s not like at club level sometimes where a team might not have the players , do we honest honestly think man for man Ireland are clearly more talented than what we have in nz ?
