I know a media release came out today telling the media the findings will be released Thursday.
I have been told 3 different scenarios so who knows now.

[george33]

@canefan players coming to him during last 3 weeks apparently

[george33]

Leon McDonald's name has been mentioned along with Tony Brown

[gt12]

I don’t see Razor being fired.

I appreciate the info from the sources here btw, keep it coming, however I’ll be shocked unless he has decided to walk away.

A new coaching group would be fascinating if they can pry away Brown from the springboks.

They would have to buy both out of their contracts if they wanted the job.

[george33]

@Chris don't no mate David Kirk just different beast anything possible.

He is an astute business man.

[george33]

@Chris another source had confirmed Razor is gone Chris you no contacts it must be happening.

[Chris]

Personally I wouldn’t mind a fresh approach with new coaches as I was very frustrated over selections lack of game plan, just not the same player selections.
I have heard Hanson is gone the Razor rumour are not being answered when I have asked now so it maybe true mate. People around the coaches are going quiet.

For January in NZ, rugby is suddenly red hot.

It would be a ruthless (and expensive) move by Kirk and co.

Yep paying out 3 coaches for 2 years.
Maybe paying out other countries to get coaches very expensive.

however if the review laid out that it was a complete shitshow then this is the most high-performance move made by NZRU in a very long time,

[george33]

@mariner4life sounds like the who group will be moved on in the coming weeks

In other words, the ethos that used to synonymous with the All Blacks. Long overdue, and yes it also needs to be applied to the players performance.
