Why would you remove a coach that won against the current World Champions at Ellis Park?
Because he just lost a home series to Ireland.
Why does two good results trump three poor ones?
Progress. There's now a very competent forwards coach and analyst on board apparently. Hopefully they help drive Foster to be slightly less risk averse in selections, as we've seen young props step up to the plate.
The progress has largely happened because of "a very competent forwards coach and analyst on board" now we need a very competent head coach with a far superior record to Foster to top it all off.
We aren't playing Super Rugby, we want a head coach with experience at Test level and a demonstrated record of success at RWCs. Like a winner's medal in some capacity.

Where can we find one as we don't have that now.

The bloke that won on the weekend against the World Champions at their version of Eden Park must be alright.

Sir Ted became the first All Black coach to get bundled out at the quarter final stage.
I'm guessing my point is a little too subtle for you and @Frank

Rennie is trying out new players and new strategies with less depth to fall back on.
Regards Foster I am beginning to feel sorry for the bloke it must be crap to pull off such a win then fly back wondering if one is facing a firing squad.And I am no clearer as to who makes the decisions at NZR...who are the leaders, the board or Robinson? He seems to be shuffling backwards ..
It’s pretty simple, when it comes to the Head Coach decision it’s the Board. Has been for some time. The Chairman has always announced it as far back as I can remember.

A question (based on what I have read):
Why would Robertson want MacDonald, Holland AND Hansen? I understand that Hansen is in charge of the 9/10s at the Crusaders, but wouldn't the other two be responsible for the same thing? This seems like a duplication of roles.

My point is the bloke has been in the environment for 2 Wc's has lost the last 5 out of 7 tests.You think he would be getting better One test win doesn't disprove all the shit that has happened before Saturday.
Has selected the wrong players,We bring in the Crusaders forward coach and we win because of the great platform set by the forwards.
Nothing to do with the HC. -

Fuck Robertson, he needs international experience as head coach of England first. -

Hansen is also the tactical Coach at the Crusaders.
He helps set tactics and game plans for the backs. -

Much like any coach that has Wayne Smith in his ear looks like a fucking genius?

Part of being a HC is finding and working with the best people to create the environment you need.
Foster doesn't seem to be able to do that as he picked Plumtree and Mooar backed them to the hilt then realise he fucked up and had them sacked.
Not good from a HC. -
