Foster, Robertson etc
-
Foster's win percentage against tier one nations is 57% (12 wins from 21 tests, including eight losses and one draw). Five of those wins were against Australia and three against Argentina.
Overall, Foster has a 65% win percentage, with 17 victories, one draw and eight losses in 26 tests since taking over from his former boss Steve Hansen after the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
That is the lowest by an All Blacks coach in over 40 years since Eric Watson's 40% after losing five and drawing one of 10 tests in 1979 and 1980.

Unless Schmidt has a big change of heart, the best I could see him agreeing to is to be the interim coach for the remainder of the RC. If he doesn't want to travel then he won't be on the EOYT. That would allow the new coach (for arguments sake, Robertson) to select his own squad and assistants before October.
I believe in the new structure the AB coach reports to Shand (part of the Executive team), so he likely remains.

@akan004 NZR in a rock and hard place (of thier own doing) they have handled this appallingly.
All the players coming out in support of Fozzie, before and after the win means NZR really have no choice but leave it, however, that doesnt mean they cant ditch McLeod or any other of Fozzies team...

From Stuff -
New Zealand Rugby expected to announce its decision on the All Blacks coach at 2.30pm in Auckland. -
@taniwharugby I don't think opinions of players should be considered tbh. Of course they would support the coach who selects them, there's no guarantees the new coach will.

@akan004 kinda agree...am sure we all had bosses we like/dislike, and maybe Fozzies buddy-buddy style isnt what is required to get the best from the players.
That said, the players/employees opinions should be a factor, just how much of a factor is key given the shit performance the boss is overseeing
But I will be very surprised if they do kick him now.

Deep down we all know what is going to happen.
Foster retained until after the 2023 RWC.
There is really not much room to do anything else without Chaos everywhere Super Rugby franchise’s included.To be honest, if it's Ryan and Joe doing the actual coaching, it's probably enough

Director of Rugby type thing like they did with Wazza at the Chiefs.
