Foster and Boyd wouldn't fill me with confidence.
What's your issue with Boyd? He turned around a franchise that hadn't made the finals in about 6 years and got them to two finals, winning one.

I guess because of his record with Wellington? Wellington seem to be to coaches in the npc what blues are in super rugby.

Didn't he make the final one time, which for Wellington is actually an achievement.
He's had two and a bit years with the Canes now and they're a competitive team who have turned over a few stars while remaining near the top of the tree so not sure why his credentials would be questioned.

Interesting, he knows what sort of coach he better than any of us but his time at the Chiefs still makes me wonder if he's up to it.
Fozzies biggest problem at the Chiefs was selections. He was so random and tried way to hard to mix it up. It was really baffling at times.
In an ABs set up he won't be the sole selector and will have probably learned a lot over these years. I reckon Shag and Smithie are pretty good judges so if they reckon he's the man then I wouldn't discount that at all.fozzies biggest problem at the chiefs was losing all the damn time.
then rennie took over and won, immediately.
you would hope he has learned a lot, because he was shithouse back then. -

@Siam Hammett has as much chance of being an All Black coach as Ian fucking Foster
Foster has been part of an unbelievably successful All Blacks team. Wayne Smith thinks highly of him.
@rotated said in Wayne Smith retiring from All Blacks roles:
Pretty obvious candidate for me that hasn't been mentioned. That former Canterbury coach working in Japan seems like he would be and ideal candidate if he wanted to return to NZ. Clear ties going back with the Hansen, Tew, Shand infrastructure too.
He's burned those bridges. Fuck him.

Wayne Smith thinks highly of him, but Wayne Smith has never been a world reknowned columnist for the New Zealand Herald.

@Salacious-Crumb fair point. Rattue's record of success can't be denied.

How did he burn any bridges? He went as far as he could NZ without attempting to become an All Black in his mid 40s thus qualifying for a Super Rugby gig.
Penney would be opened back to NZ rugby I believe.

We are both talking about Deans, yeah?

when I heard on the radio this morning Foster has been on the AB panel since 2012 I couldn't quite believe it...he is supposed to be shit, but we aren't!

He's not lead the panel though

@canefan had Hansen?
I think with the systems they have in place, and the fact he would have been working with Smith for 5 years and under Hansen for 7 years by then, don't think it would be an issue, pretty sure if he was rubbish, you'd get exposed in that environment.

While it's easy to pile on Foster for his time at the Chiefs - it must remembered he was the first Chiefs coach to reach the semi finals in 2004 and then had the Chiefs as the best NZ team in 2009 reaching the Super rugby final. The years he coached the Chiefs the competition was much more competitive and playoff spots were fewer.
