@kiwi_expat said in Foster:
The fact that the improvements listed ('moved the performance needle big-time in the pack'; 'added some much-needed variation in attack'; the others mentioned have all flowed from those two) happened after Ryan and Schmidt were given roles in the ABs' coaching team speaks volumes.
Glad you think things have improved under Foster. Long, long way to go, but I agree there are some promising signs.
. Barrett at second-five was also injury-enforced, after Foster said he wasn't being looked at in that position.
Foster preferring to play a pretty much world-class full-back at full-back? That's hardly an indicator of a poor selection mindset.
In other words, Foster has been shown up as a poor coach and selector reliant on injury, not insight, to force clearly-needed changes, and reliant too on the competent coaches NZR added to the group
Putting aside your inaccuracy that Schmidt was forced on Foster (he had been wanting Schmidt as an Assistant for 2 years), I'm puzzled by your argument that Foster is a poor Head Coach because he relies on his chosen assistants to do a good job.

Apparently, the reasons that fucking foster stayed were:
- Razor's 'in principle' team lacked international experience, so NZR wanted Schmidt in on it. He met Razor (as ordered by NZR), and then said 'no' - not due to not wanting to work with Razor, but because he thought it was pretty shitty for him to be talking to a potential replacement whilst working for Foster. Loyalty said he would stay.
- Great result SA 2
- Senior players loving getting picked no matter what and publicly backing him
Overall what a cluster, who the fuck is in charge? Not NZR, Robinson, or the Board!

What's wrong, this is NZ Hurld write up, so if you take it as accurate (there is a first time for those pricks) I see nothing exciting, basically what do they say that nobody knows (or more likely thought they knew) unless it was the fact that Schmidt didn't want to work with Razor (same as Tony Brown). Nothing very exciting in it.

"Robertson’s ‘in principle’ team was deemed to lack heavyweight international experience."
Scott Hansen was Japan's defence coach in 2018 and 2019 World Cup.
Jason Ryan was Fiji's forwards coach for the last 2 years.
Jason Holland was Munster's attack coach for 4 seasons (2008-2012).
Scott Robertson, Leon McDonald & Jason Ryan were NZ U20's assistant coaches under Boyd - in 2013 and 2014.
Razor then became head coach for 2015 and 2016 - while Jason Ryan and McDonald remained on the coaching staff.
So that's another 4 seasons of 'international experience' with NZ U20's at Junior World Championships.

No probably not, just let's say you found some new facts, I didn't. So I don't get too upset.

@Number-10 love for razors side to come out. It will one day. First he has world cups to win. Wether it’s with the all blacks or England.
Why is NZR putting so much weight on Schmidt’s opinion. What has he ever won. If anyone listened to razors interview on Senz the other morning , then they’ll agree he’s the man for the job. -
