@DaGrubster I don't really know why he was left out of the Bok squad (didn't keep up on those developments at the time tbh), but I just know he was REALLY REALLY disappointed not being part of the WC setup and considering the same coach will be involved for the coming 4-year cycle... Let's just say that they'll have to do some serious begging to get him involved again.if they

Could have been due to this,

Interesting Read gives a bit of an insight in to Razor's approach to the AB coaching role.

That is tantalising, having read that I feel like there is great hope for the future

They could definitely make another World Cup final that’s for sure

I've gone the other way after reading that ...
" During the World Cup, forwards coach Jason Ryan, the only member of Foster's coaching staff to be invited to join Robertson's crew, lamented the loss of Frizell who had signed with Toshiba and said he hoped the blindside flanker would return to New Zealand.
Robertson echoed those sentiments: "We are always talking to agents. He is a quality player. We would love to have him playing in the All Blacks jersey, yeah." "

I'd like to see Robertson focus more on bringing his oft-praised skills in developing players to the fore rather than relying on overseas-based players returning to NZ. Use older, returning players like Barrett to impart experience for sure, but only as a short-term thing.
He's got 4 years, plenty of goodwill and access to the top players in NZ. Might be a few uncomfortable losses along the way as he builds and develops, but needs time/space to get on with it.

The cock-in-mouth piece on Razor on TV tonight shows that the media are 100% onside.
He sounds interesting and I 100% hope he is successful, but fuck me if he isn't talked up as the messiah.
He’s the Ethan Blackadder of coaches

As long as he isn't the Todd Blackadder of coaches.

I'm totally on board with Razor but I felt that article told me a whole bunch of nothing (which is fine - there isn't much to tell at this stage).

@KiwiMurph yeah I gave up halfway through as it was just recapping the past year and adding the odd Razor quote which paraphrased as "I'm a coach who is going to coach".

Yep. Give the bloke a chance. Only been in the role for a few weeks and people are expecting deep, profound insights and predictions of certain glory.

Not enough muscles. Needs more weights, less speed work.
