All Black Coach - Ian Foster

@dogmeat I hadn't thought of wearing a bow tie to the interview.
A new suit though? I've still got a Hallensteins one from 1990 that I can squeeze into.
Years ago when I worked in Wellington we had a guy who used to fly into meetings with the big bosses, who used to adopt this policy. When you met him in the region in his normal clothes he looked fine - but, for wellington he thought he needed his old polyester suit.
When pay assessment time came around we concluded that Jack had a 10 grand suit, because that was what it cost him!

He does make some good points. They didn't know who their best team was, the gameplan was flawed. Of course he has zero say in the decision

I've not read the article but his plan to leave after initial hand over post the '15 exodus was the right one. I can't remember if he was just Lions initially then leave or just a year? But either would've been right IMO
I do wonder if he was asked to stay on though. At the point in time Foster was the only likely candidate with a demanding CV and/or available.

IIRC it felt like he was asked to stay, and that he kind of knew it was probably time to go. In fairness, they were one poor selection and flawed game plan away from being threepeat finalists

Moffet made a dogs breakfast of welsh rugby so a pinch of salt. There are all of a sudden a lot of wise after the fact commentators putting in their 2c.

Jamie Joseph has extended his contract with Japan until 2023.
Fuck, that is odd, I really thought he would have preferred the AB's gig over the Yen. Surprised he didn't put Japan on hold until after the AB's was announced. Maybe he knows something we don't or perhaps Japan gave him an ultimatum. Tony Brown seemed pretty keen on the AB's.

I suspect that's where the Ferald article came from. Like the Wayne Smith articles last week.
NZH and RS both part of NZME
