Foster, Robertson etc
-
I can understand Cane being involved. And maybe Ardie as who knows the way Robertson would go. He might have found himself as a reserve
And Smith is at the end of his career and would prefer what he knows. But why Whitelock?

Love how surf jesus will not only magically make NZ players better than they are
But also instantly reverse the enormous improvement in rugby among the top 10-12 nations
What a coach. What a human.
The second coming of Robbie Deans even.
Or John Hart. Although from a different area he was really hyped up.
-
Confident.
Robertson has reportedly been looked at as a possible coach of England or the Wallabies if he leaves New Zealand after he said earlier this year he wanted to win the World Cup with two different nations.
-
Foster also confirmed lock Patrick Tuipulotu and playmaker Damian McKenzie would rejoin the ABs XV squad, while winger Mark Telea – a late call-up after Leicester Fainga’anuku went home for family reasons – would stay on with the All Blacks as Will Jordan will stay on in New Zealand to get over his inner ear issue.
Um why send Tuipulotou back? Cos we have 3 locks now SW, Vai'i and SB, BBBR (with the emphasis on bad) will get 3 weeks rest

Likewise Graham Henry.

There's only two ways you become AB coach.
-
You have a record of sustained winning at the highest level and bring in some new ideas. There is inevitably high expectations for what you will achieve. You will have some passionate cheer-leaders, and some detractors.

Your name is Foster.

Didn't apply to Hansen either. But he was one of our most remarkable coaches - kept the Henry era going for another cycle.
-
@mariner4life haters going to hate no matter what.
What has he failed at so far. We have to give him a chance after work cup. Do I think they will , No.
I wonder if foster knows he’s a shit coach. -

He coached Wales with some distinction didn't he?

He'll have it all sorted out before a morning surf at Clyde Street.

I hope they keep Foster as coach until 2030 its so amusing watching people try to defend him.
I want to see Razor go to England,while the AB's are being knocked out in the QF's under Foster.And then probably give him 4 more years.
It is got beyond a Joke how far The AB's will fall under the Clown ringmaster.
But we know they are really excited and learning lots of things.
Crochet maybe or gardening because its sure not winning rugby or WC's. -
Fern Logic
Judging by what is written on the Fern, a lot of guys think Surf Jesus wins SR titles with a lot of shit average players. They "magically" look good because they play for the Crusaders apparently but are shit compared to "insert your own team's member here". However, according to some, Surf Jesus's "magical abilities" will somehow disappear at the international level. -

Surf Jesus wins Super Titles with players that are good at Super Rugby but are shit at Test rugby. And the refs favour the Saders too.

Or, alternatively, surf jesus wins titles playing ourselves and the Australians.
I think surf jesus is a good coach. I'm just so very bored of the hypothetical that he comes in and it's 2015 all over again being treated as fact.
And the simple fact is, Ian Foster is taking us to the world cup so all the rest is just boring conjecture.

Are people saying it will 2015 all over again? I think Razor's name keeps popping up because the way things are at the moment he is probably the best available alternative to Foster. And an alternative to Foster is on a lot of wish lists.

@Crazy-Horse ah yeah, they are
The coach isn't changing guys, get over it. You'll sleep better

Hansen at least won a couple of NPCs.
Foster's literally never won any championship until the TRC -- which has only one competitive opponent in it.

I don't recall anyone saying that it was a fact that if Razor took over the ABs we will win the world cup. But my memory ain't the best.
