@Bones So his Maoris have beaten Canada, Japan, US and Fiji which is not that sterling. He was an assistent when the Crusaders won in 2002 otherwise as head coach of the Canes he was runner up once and semi finalist three times. He coached the NZ under 21 to a title in 2001. I suppose this is OK but would not say remarkable. I think his lack of success with the Canes sticks in my memory.
Oh right so success is only measured in trophies? That must suck.

Geez, you have high standards.

@ACT-Crusader I blame Deans!
@broughie That Foster fella seems to be doing alright for the ABs right now, granted he is part of a great team, but if he wasnt contributing, I dont think he'd be there.
-
@taniwharugby I think he is carrying the water bottles and on field messages. Geez he had a good run at Waikato.
-
@broughie that was a few years back, again, he seems to be doing alright now, which is likely a stepping stone to the ultimate goal of head coach I expect...and I know plenty on here had misgivigns about Hansen under SGH, look at him now.
Thats just my view though.

He took them to a final and a semi final in his two seasons with them, that's not too bad

Under Henry he was known as Steve "FGH, Fat controller, lazy, what does he actually do" Hansen...

Rob Thompson (Canterbury) is the player who will be added to the Māori All Blacks squad as a replacement for Declan O'Donnell.

@mariner4life Wiki says he coach from 2004 to 2011 which is what came to my mind. This is right right? So he took them to a semi and final in his last years? Rennie comes in, puts his mark on the team, and they win 2 consecutive super titles. Now there is a coach and one I would not mind as a future AB coach and not Foster.
-
@broughie no, in that time he was coaching the Chiefs, a completely different team.

Not following you. In what way was it different? You do agree though that Rennie is a superior coach?

@broughie holy shit dude. Waikato, a team in the NPC, representing the Waikato region, made up of Waikato club players. Coached by Ian Foster reasonably successfully in 02 and 03.
The Chiefs, a team competing in the Super rugby competition, nominally representing (but not really these days) Counties, BOP, Waikato, the Naki (now, but not then), and some smaller unions like the King Country. Coached by Ian Foster from 2004-2011. Not called Waikato by anyone except Phil Kearns, because that is not their name, and hasn't been since the 90s.As for the rest of your point, actually, i don't even know what your point is.

. Fuck. I know the difference between Waikato and the Chiefs.

Semantics. Ok the Chiefs. Get it. Super rugby not provincial. Corrected "Geez he had a good run with the Chiefs" Happy?
As for the rest of your point, actually, i don't even know what your point is.
I was responding to your point that "He took them to a final and a semi final in his two seasons with them, that's not too bad" which is part true because he coach the chiefs in Super Rugby (12 or 14) since 2004. So how was his record before taking them to the semi and final? You seemed like you were cherry picking or am I really missing the boat?
