weeelll the collective wisdom of the Fern thought Shag's appointment in 2011 was a bit bleak too.
Massive failure with Wales, powder puff forwards, lineout woes, terrible relationship with the media....
Lets hope we are all wrong again in 2020
Conversely there were high expectations heading into 2000 after the Wayne Smith appointment and things didn’t really pan out that well....

@ACT-Crusader so we're consistent.
When we are happy we are wrong and when we are unhappy - we are wrong.
Time for a beer methinks

“We are consistently wrong” - put it on the TSF homepage

It's always time for a beer.

@ACT-Crusader it used to say something like that didn't it?
Now "Consistently wrong for over two decades"
"Wrong for so long we now talk about colonoscopys"

Congratulations to Ian. A proud moment for him and his family.
I think he’ll bring something different to what we’ve seen over the last little while. Similar to Hansen who changed things up a bit post-Henry.
I’m hopeful and wish him and the new coaching team well.
Way too fucking positive. Pull your head in mate.

I recall everyone on here being stoked with the team we selected in Perth...

Boks will be happy, apparently
Why South Africans should be rooting for Ian Foster as All Blacks coach - KEO.co.za
South African rugby writer Mark Keohane believes it will benefit the Springboks if Ian Foster is named as Steve Hansen's All Blacks coaching successor

at least with Fozzie in chance we might finally get an end to the run of bog ordinary Crusaders players getting national call ups

At least he's honest in our assessment of him
He also admitted he had a job now, as the head honcho, to "reinvent myself with the public and media" after eight years where his chief role was to complement the style of Steve Hansen. He said he hoped to be seen "in a new light", to be innovative and provide a sense of direction for the team.
And foreign assessment of him too (Lots of articles saying NZ made the right choice, for their teams)
"I'm extremely passionate about adding a new touch to it and to really grow and get some mana back on the field, which we feel we've lost a little bit."
Yes foster, your record as head coach sucks, prove us doubters wrong
*I know that I've got a bit to prove because people will say I never achieved anything with the Chiefs," he said.
"That was a while back. When I speak in the Waikato I introduce myself as the person who coached the Chiefs before they won anything*
Meh

Worries if the current specialists are maintained :
- Defence (McLeod) : porous, to say the least. I would have liked to see a specialist of the rush defence.
- Kicking from hand (Hill) : was very poor. Is Hill the main culprit or is it because Barrett and Mo'unga don't know how to kick ?
-
According to 1 News his team has not been confirmed yet.
Moar, Feek, Plummer, McLeod are all speculation...

@Bovidae said in All Black Coach - Ian Foster:
Is Cane more likely to be the captain now? Whitelock isn't playing SR so I am not sure it is right to pick him.
Cane is a better choice anyway. Whitelock is an excellent player but Cane seems like a proper hard bastard. It still beggars belief that he didn't start against the Poms in the SF
