After the initial euphoria of Jason Ryan getting the forwards going better I think there is some worrying signs developing.
Firstly this the selection that he was seemingly behind of the All Black 15. Dominant Gardener shouldn't make a Crusaders first choice 23 how the hell he got selected in this team is beyond me and can only be bias from Ryan.
Secondly I went back and watched the highlights of the Eden Park Wallaby game. And something I didn't notice at the time was the massive celebration by Ryan (compared to the other 2 coaches) when Cody Taylor scored his try. From his reaction I would guess now that Taylor will be his first choice starting hooker on the Northern hemisphere tour. This would be a huge injustice to the form of Samisoni Taukei'aho and will blunt the All Black forward's ability to out muscle the Northern hemisphere packs.
People forget that Scott Robertson was in charge of the Crusaders and the primary selector and Ryan was more just a coach. With the All Blacks due to Foster's incompetence Ryan has been thrust into more of a selectorial role which I don't think he has the experience to handle yet.
Even though the changes in assistant coach have reaped some initial positive reward I can see troubles ahead once the honeymoon Is over and it all comes down to Foster still being there when he should have been replaced by Scott Robertson.

That seems a rather long bow you are drawing.

You mean the ABs seem to have some forward momentum without Scott Robertson in charge?

Ryan? Is this the same bloke who was singly responsible for the Ellis Park & Eden Park wins - with Foster having nothing to do with it as Head Coach?

Seriously impressed with your ability to ascertain the AB team-sheet based on a 2 second clip from reactions in the coaches box. That's a really impressive skill.
This would be a huge injustice to the form of Samisoni Taukei'aho and will blunt the All Black forward's ability to out muscle the Northern hemisphere packs.
And the really, really worst bit is we won't be able to blame it on Foster.
People forget that Scott Robertson was in charge of the Crusaders
Thanks for reminding us as we'd probably have forgotten otherwise
With the All Blacks due to Foster's incompetence Ryan has been thrust into more of a selectorial role which I don't think he has the experience to handle yet.
"selectorial role"? But we were all told by so many people that AB team selections (strangely enough only the bad ones) were made by Foster and any and all good selection were forced on Foster by injuries. I feel deceived, deceived I tell you!
Even though the changes in assistant coach have reaped some initial positive reward I can see troubles ahead once the honeymoon Is over and it all comes down to Foster still being there when he should have been replaced by Scott Robertson.
Ah. I understand. Your observation that Jason Ryan got a bit more excited than Schmidt or Foster in the coaches box when Taylor scored his try is the final, absolute and definitive proof that Foster should be sacked.
Yours in satire

My guess is that he was a bit closer to understanding Taylor's 'problems' and his battles to regain form. He was pleased for him.

or he's just a forwards coach that loves one of the fatties getting over the line and....or thats a normal reaction to a try by someone who loves some code and hasn't become jaded yet.....both just as if not more likely i would think

thats why I said According to McLeod more a dig at him than the players in my post.

@Chris haha, these are professional players with the ability to work in other defence structures, they enter your environment and struggle....

As an educator, if one or two of the students don't understand, generally, it is not the explanation/content. If most or all of the students have trouble, then that is entirely on me and the shithouse way I have explained things.......

Was thinking the same thing.The Crusaders and Blues defence structures were pretty decent in SR,with a lot of the same players in those environments,It seems to me he is high lighting his own deficiencies.

@KiwiMurph Any word on if that is for the duration of the tour?

Does this mean Stevenson is into the AB XV? Guess it depends how long Telea is called up for.
