@Bovidae said in Foster, Robertson etc:
This place will be fun if we get a repeat of the Cantablacks of the Mitchell/Deans era. There might be some TSF favourites on the outer.
I'm not going to be surprised if that's exactly what happens.
I really don't see that, Razor has about as different as a coaching philosophy from Deans as you can get.
Robbie had a gameplan & built the team around that, he never wavered from that and it cost him with Aus.
Razor is quite the opposite, he looks at what he has available & builds a gameplan around accentuating their strengths.
The question is whether he sees what is available outside of Canterbury. We won't know until he selects his first squad, but it's the sort of mistake an inexperienced coach would make.
We've seen it slightly with Foster, Cane as captain. Sowakula's bizarre selection.

@Kirwan given preparation seems to be a big part of his successes to date, he has alot of months to get himself prepared for his first naming in what, May 2024?
Geez, that is a long time to wait now...

It's weird having two All Black coaches. Modern times I guess.

Shit, we should have listened to that George fella. He was right all along.

@Kiwiwomble If he isn’t an assistant under Razor, MacDonald is only signed with the Blues until the end of the Super Rugby season🤔
-
@mariner4life so nothing really changes for the public then…. 😉
-
Stoked for ScoRo. Glad he is getting the role next year and wasn't shoehorned into a team that wasn't his when Fozzie was going to get cut.
-
He needs an assistant who knows the systems across a few teams like Crusaders, Canes, Highlanders. Hammet anyone?
-
I'm assuming Ryan for forwards, X for backs, and who knows for tackles, skills etc?
-
TBH a coaching team that includes Ryan and Brown looks pretty damn good to me.

4 years later than it should have been but yeah! Finally a coach selected on his record and not his connections. I expect some promotion of youth as the ABs need a rebuild.
As an aside I hope this lets foster concentrate on the job at hand. NZ are rank outsiders for the first time ever which might work in our favour.
