@canefan said in All Blacks 2024 - no interminable Foster arguments:
The temptation for a new coach is to miss lessons learned (not gonna use the other stupid word) during the previous tenure in the rush to stamp their own mark. If he's taking the time to debrief the senior players that is a good sign to me
im sure its been done before. i would be more surprised if they didnt

A bit of a fluff piece, but he spoke really well. And really hit on some points - gotta embrace modern sports engagement, you’re a public figure and you will be judged. Also ‘there’s a percentage against your name’. Stuff that has not been talked about previously, but really needs to be (trying not to Foster moan!)

TV1 broadcasts a special segment on "Sunday" about Scott Robertson.
Typical GOM Fern: it was too much about Scott Robertson.
One person criticises something about a segment that aired.
Typical GOM definitely not one of the most ardent Crusaders fans: Typical whole TSF.

"At test level it is different. Having been at the World Cup, they are bigger bodies, there are more small moments that have big margins on them,'' Robertson noted.
"The kicking game is so critical, the defensive game and the discipline. So how can you embed those core things early? You can be open to all information or be really, really clear.

You just bolded all the weaknesses from the last tenure, and the things that stopped us winning the final. Fix that without sacrificing quality game breaking players to do it, and we are well on our way
