@frugby
We will see, as Razor has mentioned McDonald and Holland will also have selection in put plus Wayne Smith in the background.Tamiti also will coach Wellington in the NPC.
I think it will be well rounded.
Just adding to that Razor's job is to win with the AB's, not where they come from and pissing players off who he thinks are not good enough but maybe they do think they are..

Jason Ryan's forwards selections for the NZ XV last year (Namely Brewis and Lio-Willie) were very much with Crusaders tinted glasses on. I'd like to think with a couple of years away this won't be an issue, but you risk pissing off large groups of players who feel shut out as a result
What about the ABs & NZ XV just announced? Looks about right.

He will remain with the Crusaders and take Over as HC there after Penny.
He is on a part time assistant contact to assist Steve Hansen with defence.This is an odd set up if correct. Tamati is the Wellington head coach. His focus should be there (he's already an assistant with the Crusaders) not helping out an assistant with the ABs.
Key for Tamati now is to learn and prove himself as a head coach.

Ryan comes across extremely well in interviews and has already made positive strides in the ABs forwards.
The scrum and maul has continued to improve which is great, but I'm not quite convinced yet.
The flakiness is still there as we saw against England on the EOYT when we pretty much went to pieces. Get that last 5% headspace thing sorted out and we'll be good.

Yep. Was always going to take a while. Bit too early to see if any improvements are baked in, though the collective brain-farts in the forwards are def. on a downward trend.

Tamati Ellison will also be involved with coaching defence in the national team’s setup.
Will he no longer be coaching Wellington after 2023? How can he remain an NPC coach? the seasons overlap.

Probably not with Wellington 2024
