That demonstrates a weak spirit if Fozz or the ABs asked that of him
the word "if" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence

This is all true. He’s been back in chch for over a week now. He went over to attend a couple of functions and observe a couple of other teams. Not allowed to attend abs games. I get the training situation. It all seems a little petty from foster.

I couldn't confirm or deny that the interaction happened, hence the "if". It would appear that Chch fanatic has done that for me. Weak as piss from NZR and Foster

If he told to keep distance from trainings it would be more than reasonable, if he's been told to keep cleard of games (which I doubt) it would be NZR .

Knowing ChCh fanatics source I don’t doubt anything he says.
Mate, I not suggesting he BSing or anything, but I doubt whether Foster stopped him going to games regardless.
I would suggest that as part of new contract he was told to give them space, and Razor actually said when getting job he would be steering well clear of being involved with players once Super had finished. As he should too. -
-
@Chris yep seems much ado about nothing, especially if Razor is in NZ just sounds like Meg stirring.
That said, I do wonder if any players do have a relationship with thier npc/super/int coach that they may talk to about parts of thier game they have been working on, outside the team they are in at the time.

considering all the hot takes from the ChCh mafia over the past couple of years that haven't come close to being true, i'm taking it with a hard grain of salt
Seems everyone down there knows someone
Someone who is feeding them porkie pies

I am sure that happens players bond with coaches for number of reasons , if it is a good relationship it normally lasts a lifetime.
-
I'm more interested in if Marshall is barred from approaching players after the game while drinking.
-
I thought the importance of continuity was one of the positives of choosing Foster in the first place? And the jersey is bigger than anyone in it? And they already had an external coach in Hansen come in.
Robertson being involved from the time he was annointed might have made sense. Starting involvement at trainings at the WC doesn't. Nor does asking him not to go and watch the games. -
@Dan54 💯 that he has been barred from any All Black game. He’s not allowed to do anything until November 1st. No media , nothing.
Who’s my source. Let’s just say chch is a small place. But sumner is even smaller. -
@mariner4life what porkie pies have I told you. Ask me anything in a pm and I’ll tell you what I know. Steven Harris, Chris , stargazer all know my source and will back me up.

You love emphatically stating bullshit.
chchfanatic has been pretty accurate. -
@Kiwiwomble said in All Blacks 2023:
just seems weird
It sounds like weird bollocks, doesn't it? He's made it clear he simply wants to experience the tournament and will keep a distance from the team. Makes perfect sense to me - particularly as he hasn't coached at the top level before and doesn't want to distract the team.
If NZR rugby had any sense, they'd have opened doors for Robertson to go backstage with other teams to get a feel for a RWC.
