@Dan54 Distractions to whom? I haven't seen any proof of players being distracted. These posts proof nothing but paying too much attention to something said by Marshall.
Well it's certainly distracting plenty here mate. Don't get me wrong, I not against Razor being appointed , or being in France, but I agree he should steer clear of team etc (he said the same) but by press and some posters saying Foster is behind it all surely just causes even more angst. Now if he wasn't appointed until after it wouldn't be an issue or distraction. And I repeat I not against him being appointed early just pointing out what is happening right on the thread!

@chchfanatic I know you’ve always been 💯 accurate with your oil , if a directive has come via NZ Rugby you can guarantee Foster is pulling strings in the background .

However, I do find it weird that Foster had to say it and / or that Razor had to be told - does not reflect well on either of them in my view.
Did either of them say it or is it just bollocks? Foster doesn't come across as precious and Robertson had made his non-interaction with the ABs clear yonks ago.
Asking Razor to stay away from games in stadiums with tens of thousands of other people is such an odd request that Foster himself could admit to it during a press conference and I wouldn't believe it. Sounds an awful lot like 2 + 2 = 500

The most important position in a Rugby team is Tighthead Prop. The second most important position in a Rugby team is backup Tighthead Prop. Losing Tyrell Lomax for a World Cup knockout would be a massive blow for the All Blacks.
our coach says almost this all the time
"first name on the teams list is tighthead...second name is reserve tighthead..."

Foster calls BS. Winger and reserve winger are the two most important positions

@Machpants in the modern game, hooker is probably key to ensure he hits his targets

well we already new Marshall was a dick
He's probably still pissed that Sky didn't want to pay for his French holiday.

Really? For him, Cane, BB, Ardie, Codie T, well, some order like that...

Rugby World Cup: 'Stay away' order to All Blacks coach-in-waiting Scott Robertson from NZ Rugby, not Ian Foster | Newshub
The NZ coach-in-waiting was seen as a distraction to the World Cup campaign.
I find it interesting that Fozzie would have that much power but not be reselected for the position.
Is it possible that the NZRU thinks it might actually be better for Robertson to stay away from a role he isn't participating in?

On standby to join All Blacks? Joe Moody scratched from Canterbury team
He was named to play in their quarter-final, but after injuries to All Blacks props Tyrel Lomax and Fletcher Newell this morning, Moody was sidelined.
