His wife would have something to say after all the criticism of Foster
She would also have friends whose husbands are constantly bickering at their wives to find out from Robertson's wife why the fuck he isn't coaching the ABs. Right?
Big assumption there that those guy’s wives listen to what they are saying.

Oh god I’ve just realised that Gatland is still floating around.
If I was as evil as some other posters I could have started a thread titled “Gatland takes over”
Not trolling, but I'd have him in the AB setup in a heartbeat. He worked wonders with the Lions; mixed record with Wales but they were competitive with a limited set of players. He's got international experience, and would be a safe(ish) pair of hands.
Honest question: Foster vs Gatland, who ya got?

Super and Tests are not the same game.
Who's got a better international record? (actually, that's a bloody goo dquestion - is Gatland's win percentage against T1 better than Foster's?)
Frankly, I think Gatland is a much better coach than Foster. for one, he can coach rush defence - something no one in NZ seems to do consistently.

he coached a scratch team to be super competitive with the ABs. That's impressive. He's clearly a good coach ... I don't get the animosity against him. Well, except for the Chiefs supporters
But even then, good coaches can have bad years. -

Yeah exactly, coached a team he had full selection over to a draw with a much better AB's, as well as a decent B team record, over a short period of time, for what...the same amount around about as matches played in a RWC if you reach the final?

Newshub claimed that they've been informed by "sources" that sacking Foster would cost $3M to $4M.
Depends how you add it up. Maybe 18 months payout for Foster (NZRs fault) and 18 months for the new guy.
If Schmidt he’s already on a contract so the increase won’t be a full salary. Then there’s the assistants to pay out.yeah fair point
It's semi-fair. The cost of the replacement guys shouldn't be counted as an additional cost, just any incremental cost above what the current guys are getting. Meaningless number if we count both in any assessment of what to do from here.

I don't care if we lose against SA.
There’s nothing more that I hate than losing to the Boks.
Really???
I'd say they'd be the team that I can most tolerate losing to. Certainly preferable to England, Ireland, Australia, any other 6n team (though surprisingly I can deal with losses to the French ), Georgia, Samoa or Tonga, Spain or Portugal.

Yes exactly, you don't calculate the cost of paying someone out by also including the cost of the new hire. That's nonsensical.
As for the assistants, quite frankly considering their resumes they shouldn't be on particularly high salaries anyway.
-
The other cost not being considered is the damage to Silver Lake’s equity stake from the reputational damage to the AB brand. I think that is more substantial than the cost of paying out the contracts of the incompetent incumbents. Don’t underestimate the pressure coming to bear there.

Just a question. That initial squad was for the Ireland series only wasn't it? When does the new squad get announced considering that they are meant to fly out soon?
had the same thought this morning
any change has to be now, or we wait until October.
If they decide to wait until October i can see him staying the other 12 months unless we lose absolutely everything.
And we won't lose everything because we will beat Argentina because they're shit, and we will beat Australia at Eden Park because we always do. Hell, we may even beat the Boks in one of those matches on the basis that Rassie & Co may just be charitable enough to play their B team again. And if all or any of that happens, there will, from NZR's perspective, be enough improvement and "learnings" to show that keeping Fozzie on for the 2023 RWC is the most prudent course of action.
