@stodders mate I'm an optimist and don't see it, but id like to visit your world with all your rainbows and unicorns
Free beer too and all the women from the hawt thread 😜
That all sounds good until you realise that @MN5 and @mariner4life have already been there for week and there's nothing left that you'd take a second look at.
Don’t lump me in with him

Anyone think he is sacked regardless of result this weekend or is he safe?
Would a 1 point win save him?
He got a bit tetchy towards the end of his press conference explaining the selections. He's normally pretty laid back, so it was more noticeable.
Hopefully, if it is his last test as head coach, he can go out on a high. If ABs play well, he can at least say I told you so. Big if...

@taniwharugby Hell no!! So he can get another bite of the cherry?

Don't forget the rather big element that they need to fly back and get ready for another test in two weeks. Add in other possible upheavals in personnel and this would have to be really well planned through.
Possibility of a phasing out through the Argies games and a new crack for the Bled? -

Possibility of a phasing out through the Argies games and a new crack for the Bled?Joe Schmidt is already in NZ. There is continuity. And flying to Oz isn't too much of a stretch. Which paves the way for a new coach for EOYT.

Pretty much as I see it - Schmidt caretakes before Razor can take over EOYT and gets to pick his own players.

I wonder what Gatland might be quietly doing ...
Please don't.
There's one coach with a worse record at the Chiefs than Fosterand that's our mate Wazza.He does know how to get limited teams to RWC SFs though 😉 Sorry @MiketheSnow

Oh that’s us ATM! Sign him up!

Never been more certain that the ABs are going to lose a test. I’m usually unreasonably optimistic.
I really hope they have another coach lined up.
I feel the same way. I've even thought we were going to win the last 3 matches going into them. Clearly I'm a functioning idiot.

There's one coach with a worse record at the Chiefs than Fosterand that's our mate Wazza.Gats at the Chiefs may not have been a success, but I'd take him in a heartbeat over Foster. He knows how to win games at the top level, and gets teams up. You dno't get picked as a multi-Lions coach for nothing.
-
@Steve That makes no sense. They can only start 15 and have 8 reserves in each match. Not many games to trial people in lately. France Ireland and South Africa are the weakest of our opponents in the past 7 matches. Maybe NZRU could have been kinder by having matches against lesser opponents or fielding an NZ XV during that sequence. But don't think the AB fans would take kindly to playing second xvs v leading nations like SA and France do.

Foster is a multi ABs coach (assistant, head, re-contracted head coach)...

It's certainly something that hasn't helped. Foster is hellbent on his plan (whatever it is) and is having to try and find the right players to implements while fronting up to the top sides in the world at the moment. You can see how other coaches must have struggled for a number of years when the show was on the other foot.
If the July games were against a team like Scotland I wonder if the ABs would have gelled better.
