I wonder if Sam Cane will step down as Captain and that will start something rolling.

Full team will stay on until the SA Tests (maybe an Assistant will leave) but Schmidt gets more of a hand-on role.

Leave Foster in NZ to coach by Zoom. Worked a treat for test 1. May work again 😁

I can't see Cane resigning unless he truly feels that he isn't good enough to be the NZ no7. I've not seen any evidence of that.
Read was a shadow of his great self for the last 18 months of his career and didn't step aside.

There are now 12 or 13 tests between now and the world cup, aren't there?
That is enough time to give to a new coach to have a chance of putting his own stamp on the team and effecting a culture change.
But it has to be now. Not after SA or the 4N. If Foster is in place still after the 4N, you know that the NZRU have decided to ride it out, because it'll be too late to do anything at that point with only the EOYT and a couple of tests next year available.

remember the Amazon "all or nothing" documentary when Hansen asked should they put Rieko on the left wing instead of Julian Savea in training and fozzie replied " ahh its a dumb idea today".
Rieko went on to rip the lions apart.
Foster is completely and utterly incompetent.

Question, has any AB captain in living memory given up the captaincy? (Not a dig at Cane, just curious).

Foster needs to be given the Red Card first thing on Monday morning.
Why wait?
He might do the honourable thing and figuratively take the whiskey and the revolver to take the decision out of the hands of the idiots above him?

When was the last time a coach of a major team (all sports) resigned without being pushed/fired??
Did Wayne smith resign?

Of course he did, he has both self awareness and honour

From memory it was more he had self-doubts, no?

He's a proud bloke who always gives his all. He'll be hurting and poss.thinking he's let people down. Just wondering if he's thinking of tossing the captain's armband to someone else
