We may find out whether Mark Ella was correct and Mickey Mouse could coach the ABs to victory (not allowed to use muppet references anymore, so Mickey will do).
They are probably great guys but the record with super teams isn't.

@Snowy big difference between being a successful assistant and being the main man. I'm worried but lifting Bill in Japan should see me sufficiently anesthetized for a time
I just don't have that feeling that this is going to happen

Us winning or the dream team taking over the big black bus?

Praise be.

@nzzp the culture is just fine thanks. So Gats has done a deal and will coach the Chiefs finally. His last tilt at being in the AB coaching setup. I hope being home in NZ will cure him from being a whiney bitch
Have you forgotten how Henry was perceived outside of Auckland (i.e., arrogant)? Hansen hated the media and had zero personality when he took over in 2011.

Hate to agree, but im not very confident either ,
Seems like we play poorly, just too often in recent times ,
You only need one poor game in a WC and its see ya later

you'd have to think Razors odds have shortened even further?
I know we have had great continuity at the top of NZR for a long time, but I think the last couple of years have shown we need some fresh blood in there for some new ideas, and Razors CV stack up better than anyone (who is supposedly available)

No
Robertson needs to spend years in Europe
He;s only being around U20 ABs and Canterbury
Spend some years coaching in Top 14, English Premiership or Pro 14 & learn some alternative style of play and keep on developing his rugby IP
I'd rather have Schmidt and Gatland coaching ABs over Razor post 2019 RWC

@Jaguares4real why does he have to do that, he has proved what he has to in NZ where he is coaching? I dont agree he must head off to enhance his CV.
You could argue his time having ROG alongside him has expanded his expertise to include a NH view anyway.
I also said of those available, of which, we are lead to believe neither Gats or Schmidt are.

ROG has certainly left his mark
Razor turn 45 in 2 weeks Very young in coaching age
Will have to wait until 2023 at the earliest to get a shot
How much can he really achieve by sticking around in NZ with Crusaders?
He has to replace ROG and Moroar as they're off to Europe
Every other major NZ coach this century has gone to Europe and improved themselves
Only exception being Dingo Deans

A break dancing all black coach is the stuff dreams are made of ,
Just do what it takes, give him the job

It's a particularly pointless option for Razor as the Crusaders already can play multiple styles, which Jags should have noticed from the final.
Over the past few years they have often employed a NH style ten man rugby/scrum/maul them to death/play field position style when the conditions or the opposition demand it.
More often they play the standard NZ style of play whats in front of you, even if means attacking from the 22.
Plenty of variations between those two generalisations as well. The Crusaders don't play one style of rygby, that's part of the reason they are hard to beat. If their gameplan isn't working, they try something else.

doesnt make it right or the only way...Razor appears to have broken the mold and his success is unprecedented.
Sometimes being innovative means doing something a bit different.
His age is irrelevant, if you are good enough, you are the right age...
At any rate, so who then do you suggest, as I said, assuming not Gats and no Schmidt.

I do worry that it might be too soon for Robertson, much like Wayne Smith in 99. But I'd still take him over Foster and/or Cooper.
I know he's had pretty much as good a set of players as a coach could dream for, but to string 6 titles in as many years is remarkable. He also seems to be extremely good at building a coaching staff, which I think is one of the most important traits to have as an AB coach.
