What constitutes success for the new regime? Keep Bledisloe. Win all home series, ranking?
Direction mostly for me, but a lot of people will want to judge him purely on results and want KPI's set as they did with Foster. After his first season in charge, I think anything less than keeping the Bled, the RC & not losing at EP would cause concern for a lot of people.
Losing more than 1 game on the EOYT, being below 2 or 3 in the global rankings and losing twice to Argentina would show a distinct lack of progress for an awful lot of people and the media knives will probably be unsheathed if that happens
Its no secret I'm a big Razor fanboi. But he's gotta win. Just because I wanted him in the job before the end of year tour 2021, doesn't mean he gets a season to warm up. The team has steadily declined first under Hansen then Foster. We can't accept more first losses, series losses, record losses etc. He's got a year to formulate his game plan with his crew. A year to do homework. Losing the Bled etc is inexcusable. As much as I want him in the top job, he still has expectations to fulfil.

Ronan O'Gara addresses links to All Blacks coaching role
Long rumoured to be keen on making the jump to international test rugby, La Rochelle head coach Ronan O'Gara addressed links to an All Black coaching role.

Article says nothing really. Which is a shame.
O'Gara was one of the best game controllers of his time. What he lacked in spark, he more than made up in tactical ability.
Fair to say something we have the opposite problem with at the moment.
-
I wouldn’t have a problem with him in the set-up, but I cant see us paying the money.
-
@MajorRage yeah, might have been the perfect balance to our attack from anywhere game breakers

@gt12 Rather not have him, he seems a good coach, but a little hot headed at times. But we got enough good coaches here anyway, we don't really need to groom other countries coaches at test level.
He wasn’t hot headed whilst sitting in the coaches box with Razor during games. He wasn’t hot headed when he was out on the paddock during training sessions with players. I think that’s all that matters.
Only going by what I’ve been told from those that were on the receiving end, but in terms of technical ability he is highly regarded.

@ACT-Crusader wasn't he suspended for some shit as a coach? But it's not really that even worries me. lets keepit to kiwi coaches is my main theme,I do think O'Gara seems a bloody good coach though.

I don't think it should matter. Mick Bryne was an All Black assistant coach between 2005-2015, he wasn't a Kiwi.

I do, Byrne was never going to coach a tier 1 team , O'Gara will.

I reckon Razor might go out of the box and get someone like Wayne Smith into the coaching setup somewhere.

That’s so in the box it’s almost cliche at this point.
Let’s get the best analytical coach of the past 30 years on the team, masterstroke!

@chchfanatic You reckon or you know?

Masterstroke or not it would be an Awesome move to get Smith added to the coaching group
I would love to see him involved again.
Wayne Smith was a mentor to Razor and they are good mates,I hope it happens. -

@SBW1 said in It’s Razor. Robertson New All Blacks coach.:
@Chris Having at least two assistants like Leon and Tom would also be important. How would that workout?
Tom ? You mean Coventry I don’t think he will be involved,
I expect Jason Ryan to stay on as forward coach. -

@SBW1 said in It’s Razor. Robertson New All Blacks coach.:
@Chris Jason Holland thought his name was Tom, Spiderman Lol.
Haha not sure if he is in that coaching group.
Scott Hansen probably and Leon Mcdonald,Jason Ryan add Wayne Smith maybe that could be the line up. -
@African-Monkey that would be telling wouldn’t it 😉😉
