Incoming All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson is likely to back McKenzie at first-five rather than the returning Barrett, writes Patrick McKendry.

Given Richie Mo’unga’s move – apparently fulltime - to Japan
Nah, he's just there part-time.

@gt12 LOL at comparing Blackadder to PSDT
The state of NZ rugby media - cripes.
Good to start the year with some completely over the top Blackadder wank

The same ones that had Clarke, based on one good game vs Oz, the best winger in the world?

Jesus. I missed that.
The part about Paps is fucking laughable.
Is it perhaps likely that PSDT was running rampant as we only had 14 on the goddamn field? At the game, it was was incredibly noticeable how affected we were with one less loosie.

Two, if you count 'one tackle Fizzle'

@SBW1 he was given the opportunity. Didn’t want it. Said he couldn’t work with Razor.
Do you know why?

I did a quick 5 minute google search, can't find any article to reference that quotes Schmidt as saying he couldn't work with Razor. The only thing close (not at all close) was an opinion piece by Reason who just says it but fails to back it up

yes I wondered if it was a personal remark relayed to @chchfanatic
-
@canefan As I recall Joe didn't say that he refused to work with Razor, but rather that he was unwilling to have discussions about being part of any future coaching team while still part of Foster's team. Idk if this is one of Joe's general principles or was just bc he didn't want to lose his focus on the then upcoming RWC.

That's what I read

Really looking forward to this year.
Certainly going to be a change of scene.
Hope the TMOs get sorted out.
SA deserved the WC but the rules/ officials ruined the final. It needs working on. -
@Punch_up It would be a silly move to let Joe go, he is largely responsible for turning around the fortunes of the All Blacks in 2022 and 2023, plus he also has a lot of intel on the All Blacks. If Razor doens't workout, surely he may need some backup.
-
@SBW1 Yup, 100% agree. NZR need to ask themselves if there's some sort of rule that they can only retain one experienced, innovative senior coach at a time. They could retain both Sir Wayne AND Joe, you know.
NZ Rugby is becoming a lot like Aus Cricket in that there was a prolonged period where they exported a lot of exprienced coaching talent followed by a period where less experienced coaches had to steer their national team.Not quite there yet, but...
