SENZ radio said the PR team at NZR refused to let media live stream the press conference. This is just really dumb media relations. The organisation is looking completely incompetent.
Do they actually realise the level of bubble that they operate in?

so like Cane being dumped, the news of our assistants being given the ol' heave-ho shite too.
So that dynamic will be great with the senior players reviews being leaked.

@mariner4life Fozzie was concerned about appearing bias to his old team and thought, too many Chiefs.
-
I'd just like to thank the NZR over this week for restoring faith in the coaching, selection, contracts, board, exec, media, oh, and the players. So refreshing that you've been clear and transparent, to boot.

They are far too arrogant to care.

Frizzel et tuipolotou. Yip that’ll fix it.
The most disappointing aspect of this.

At least when it goes tits up in SA and versus Oz, maybe Argentina, there will be no shifting of blame. Same group, same shit, give them the heave. If they stick with them, I can save money by not going to games or watching, as I know there's no point
No excuse about lack of time now either, they better be sounding out replacements.

I don’t know all the ins and outs of SENZ and NZRU, but do they always live stream every team announcement?
If not, then it’s hard to see that this isn’t just more games to add to the narrative building.

And that concludes Ian Foster's press conference.
On the defensive, adamant he's the right person to talk the team forward, but fails to address what changes will actually be coming in the wake of the series defeat to Ireland after naming a near identical squad
Lol

They're normally live streamed, most interviews are. It's the squad announcement!

I think it is sometimes do and sometimes don't.
I feared we wouldn't see this one because of the risk it could turn into a shit show.

I don't get the Fozzie love for Shannon F or Ennor but hey. Did Shannon get picked instead of Grace I wonder? Or PGS I suppose. Very conservative team but who really did we expect were bolters that didn't make it? Sullivan? I'm surprised RTS and Big Leicester (and less so DH) remain. Interesting to see Perofeta there. Yup, more conservative in the forwards (apart from replacement Dickson). I just can't see how they keep picking Ennor though, is catching the ball not a needed skill?
Or tackling. Henshaws fend of him into the dirt was Jonah like.

Speaking at today's media conference, Foster said he was still the All Blacks head coach and in the past few days the team had developed a clear plan forward.
He said the All Blacks did not achieve what they should have in the series against Ireland and "robust conversations" have been held since with New Zealand Rugby management.
He said he had heard there needed to be change and he was working behind the scenes to achieve that, though he would not say what those changes will be.
"You can ask me a hundred times what that is and I won't be able to give you an answer just yet. I'd like you to bear with me, but we've got things in place right now and as soon as I can let you know a couple changes I'll let you know as soon as possible."

I’m asking about SENZ live-streaming all announcements? Does that happen all the time?
All Blacks official media channels live-streamed it.
