I guess the tweet was just ripped from this article
Comeback call! All Blacks legend considers return to NZ
Scott Robertson has made a play to persuade an All Blacks great to return to NZ.
Or vice versa

What I have heard is Whitelock would play SR next season and potentially some of this seasons SR.
Do you think a role for him as a specialist lineout coach with the All Blacks is a possibility? A mentor/coach for the young locks coming through?

@mariner4life Yeah Fozzie certainly got no free ride, he was abused from all angles before his first test in charge haha.
I think at the time it was more people's fustration that Foster was appointed to what is supposed to be the most prestigious coaching role in the country given there were probably about 50 higher qualified candidates

Yep I think that could happen.

Crusaders respond as Scott Robertson hunts Sam Whitelock for All Blacks return
The 35-year-old is wanted by his former coach to return from Europe.
“Sam left an enduring legacy here at the Crusaders, and we can see that in the quality of locks we have, now under the tutelage of Scott Barrett,” said chief executive Colin Mansbridge.
“Once a Crusader, always a Crusader, but as far as we know he’s on a two-year deal with Section Pau.”

@mariner4life did you hear the one about George Bridge….

Just the 'Surf Jesus' crew.

Clearly lock is the biggest issue for us over the next couple of seasons.
We have Barratt - world class lock, Lord - who has potential, injury prone, inexperienced - Vai’i who needs to improve a huge amount.
Holland - not eligible yet
Of all the players overseas, Whitelock would make the most sense, help shore up locking position adding depth, mentoring the younger crop of locks coming through to get them ready to become world class.
So he would be a player, mentor, pseudo specialist coach

Rassie is just trying to excuse the boks not being the dominant side year after year.
They have a great RWC record, no doubt about it, but they should be better outside of that as well.

Seems to be getting a bit of traction. Would not be surprised if a few more are added to this list. Would it be possible to bring Mounga back?

Whitelock was signed for 2. So anything is possible, with contract buy outs etc.
